Following are the important factors in our jib crane
- Jib or Boom: The horizontal member that supports the hoist. It can be fixed or can rotate around a central column.
- Hoist: The lifting mechanism that travels along the jib. It can be manual, electric, or pneumatic.
- Column or Mast: The vertical structure that supports the jib. It can be floor-mounted or attached to a wall or pillar.
- Base: The foundation that anchors the crane to the floor or wall, providing stability.
- Rotation: Jib cranes can rotate from a fixed point, usually offering a range of 180 degrees to 360 degrees depending on the design.
