Key Advantages of Articulating Jib Crane
- Foldable & Space-Saving Design: The secondary boom can be folded inward when not in use, significantly reducing the occupied workspace compared with conventional straight-arm jib cranes. It is ideal for workshops with limited headroom, narrow workspaces, and compact production areas.
- Multi-Joint Flexible Operation: The articulated boom design allows the crane to reach into machine interiors, narrow gaps, and confined areas for workpiece handling where traditional straight jib cranes cannot access.
- Optimized Load-Bearing Structure: Reinforced articulation joints provide additional support points compared with standard straight-arm jib cranes. The bending moment is distributed across multiple boom sections, improving structural stability and load performance.
- Manual & Electric Folding Options: For light and medium-duty applications, manual folding is adopted for simple and flexible operation. For heavier loads, electric folding provides higher driving force, smoother movement, and more stable operation.
- Wide Application Range: The 1–2 ton articulating jib crane offers an excellent balance between lifting capacity and workspace flexibility. It is widely used in machining workshops, mold manufacturing, and equipment maintenance applications.
Product Range of Articulating Jib Crane
Main Components of Articulating Jib Crane
| Component | Material / Specification | Function |
| Main Support Column | Q235B Round Tube / Square Tube | The main load-bearing structure, supporting vertical loads and overall bending moments while maintaining structural rigidity. |
| Slewing Assembly | Main Shaft & Slewing Bearing | Supports the complete articulated boom system for smooth 360° rotation with mechanical limit and self-locking functions. |
| Slewing Drive Unit | Brake Motor + Worm Gear Reducer | Provides low-speed, high-torque rotation. The brake system ensures load holding and prevents boom movement after power failure. |
| First Boom Section | Rectangular Tube / Square Tube | The primary load-bearing boom section connecting the slewing base and the secondary articulated arm. |
| Secondary Folding Boom | Rectangular Tube / I-Beam | Provides inward folding capability to reduce storage space. The hoist can travel along the boom for flexible load positioning. |
| Articulated Joint Assembly | 45# Steel Shaft, Bearing Housing, Slewing Support | The pivot connection between two boom sections, equipped with self-lubricating bushings for wear resistance and high shear strength. |
| Electric Lifting Unit | Electric Chain Hoist / Intelligent Lifting Device | Provides lifting and lowering of loads with dual braking system and upper/lower limit protection. |
| Electrical Control Cabinet | Dust-Proof Cold-Rolled Steel Enclosure | 380V control system integrated with overload protection, emergency stop, and thermal protection functions. |
