Customer Education & Jib Crane Selection Guide

This guide helps customers understand how to select the right jib crane based on load, usage, layout, and safety—ensuring maximum productivity and long service life.

Step 1: Define the Load (SWL)

• Identify the maximum weight to be lifted (include hook, slings, and fixtures).
• Add a 25% safety margin for dynamic effects.
• Typical ranges: 0.25T, 0.5T, 1T, 2T, 3T, 5T.

Step 2: Determine Working Radius (Jib Arm Length)

• Measure the horizontal reach required from the center of rotation to the farthest pickup/drop point.
• Common arm lengths: 2 m to 6 m.
• Longer arms require stronger columns and foundations.

Step 3: Lifting Height Requirement

• Measure floor to highest hook position.
• Consider headroom constraints (especially for wall-mounted cranes).
• Choose chain hoist for lower headroom; wire rope hoist for higher lifts and heavier loads.

Step 4: Choose Mounting Type

• Pillar Mounted:  Independent workstation, 360° coverage.
• Wall Mounted:  Saves floor space, 220° rotation.

Step 5: Slewing (Rotation) Method

• Manual Slewing:  Light loads, low frequency.
• Motorized Slewing:  Higher capacity, repetitive operations, precise control.
• Select rotation: 180°, 270°, or 360° based on layout.

Step 6: Duty Class & Usage Frequency

• Define operating cycles per hour/day.
• M4:  Medium duty (regular production).
• M5:  Heavy duty (continuous, high-cycle operations).

Step 7: Electrical & Control Options

• Power supply: 415V, 3-Phase, 50Hz.
• Control: Pendant or Radio Remote.
• Protection: Overload relay, limit switches, emergency stop.

Step 8: Safety & Compliance

• Ensure overload protection and mechanical end stops.
• Verify compliance with IS standards.
• Consider flameproof/weatherproof options if required.

Step 9: Civil Foundation & Installation Check

• Verify floor load-bearing capacity.
• Column base plate, anchor bolts, and grouting must match design loads.
• Wall-mounted cranes require structural approval of RCC/steel columns.

Step 10: Future Expansion & Customization

• Plan for capacity upgrades or longer reach if production grows.
• Add options like VFD drives, remote control, or automation interfaces.
