Free-standing articulating jib cranes can position loads in places you cannot reach with traditional jibs. These jibs can position and spot a load around obstructions, through doorways, or rotate in close to the free-standing mast or building column.

The free-standing PIVOT Pro jib crane is great for vacuum lifting applications or lighter capacity applications where an articulated arm would be beneficial.

Ceiling mounted articulating jib cranes can be stationary mounted or platform supported, which allows for usage outside the normal coverage of a bridge crane or the jib to swing under obstructions. With the jib mounted to a platform, multiple work cells can be covered with just one crane and a lifting device.

The wall mounted PIVOT Pro jib crane is designed to help you position loads in places you cannot reach with traditional jibs. It provides easy rotation and consistent responsiveness when positioning loads throughout the crane’s coverage area.
