Articulating Jib Cranes
Our articulating jib cranes can be mounted on your floor, wall, ceiling, or bridge crane to best suit your needs. These jib cranes support nearly any type of manipulator, balancer, or hoist. Our standard spans are up to 16’, and capacities range from 150 lbs to 500 lbs. Articulating Jib Cranes can lift loads around corners and columns, reach into or under machinery and containers, and service virtually any point between the pivot anchor and the far reach of the boom. Jib Cranes provide a significant return on investment through drastic increases in productivity, reductions in workplace injuries, and improved safety within your facility.
Additionally, our Articulating Jib Cranes can be combined with one of our Vacuum Handling or Air Lifting Devices upon request to offer superior ergonomic material handling. Jib Cranes provide a significant return on investment through drastic increases in productivity, reductions in workplace injuries, and improved safety within your facility. Our Jib Cranes are designed to address and resolve ergonomic concerns, thereby substantially reducing workplace injuries, insurance premiums, and lost time due to absenteeism. Typically, according to our customers, our Jib Cranes pay for themselves within the first couple of years through increased productivity and efficiency.

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.
