C-Profile Free-Standing Jib Crane
Freestanding jib cranes are supplied in kit form and comprise 2 main parts: the pillar/column and the arm.
The pillars are designed and fabricated to suspend the required jib arm type.
The arm is fixed to the column using a pivot pin. The arm then rotates around the pillar and enables lifting within a predetermined arc.

Arm and Trolley Heights
Given the arm heights, you can determine the under-beam clearance measurement. For the trolley suspension point clearance, please also subtract the trolley height.
For example, with a standard column height of 6 metres, with a 4 metre reach and a 250kg capacity, the under-beam height will be 5.2 metres (6 metres, minus the 0.8m arm height) from floor to beam, and the trolley suspension point will be 5123mm from the floor (6 metre column, minus 0.8 metre arm height, minus 77mm trolley height).
For clarification of all critical dimensions, an approval drawing will be provided at the time of order.
