This is our mobile / portable jib crane; it is effectively a workshop floor crane with traditional style jib crane mounted the the front of the crane. It has an integrated travel trolley permanently fitted into the horizontal lifting beam.
We use a hand winch mounted to the rear of the vertical column to precisely control movement of the load trolley, preventing unintentional moving of the trolley under load. This provides a safe position for the operator to control the load trolley without being exposed to the falling edge. The load trolley can be positioned anywhere on the jib arm, for example above the item to be lifted, when the weight is taken the suspended load can then be moved along the jib arm without moving the crane chassis.
The load trolley has a manual locking mechanism (the winch) so that it can be locked in any position.
All mobile jib cranes with this style of movable trolley in the jib arm are made to our customers specification, SWL (capacity) height of lift and reach of jib arm etc... All can be supplied with a great deal of additional features to meet with our customer exact requirements; one of the most poplar enhancements is the rotating jib arm which allows the arm to rotate 15 degrees ether side of centre.

Floor Cranes With Spark Resistant Features / Explosion proof.
For Floor cranes to be used in potentially explosive areas / atmospheres such as Zone 1 or 2, SELS can include any anti-sparking features that our customers specify - this will increase its anti-sparking properties and therefore make the crane more suitable for use in a potentially explosive environment!
SELS will not to take the responsibility of supplying our floor cranes described as 'spark proof' as this is ‘too broad’ a term. We believe that total compliance is probably impossible because of the mechanical operation and movement of a floor crane; i.e. we cannot offer a 100% guarantee that no part of the assembly is capable of generating a spark which could ignite a flame! IE: SELS will supply / manufacture cranes with anti sparking features to our customer’s requirements though will not certified them as sparkproof / explosion proof. Our cranes have been successfully supplied to customers in the offshore Oil and Gas industry in the UK on this basis.
