Used Wolff Self Erect Cranes Berkeley

Types of Jib Cranes
Jib cranes are made up of a trolley hoist on a horizontal load-bearing boom. This boom is attached to a pivoting vertical member and up to 20 feet long. Jib cranes can move loads between any areas within the boom's arc of rotation. Light duty units are utilized within factories and warehouses for loads weighing up to 5 tons. The website BestJibCranes.com features the major types of jib cranes as being either free-standing, wall-mounted or mast mounted.

Free Standing
Free-standing jib cranes are able to stand alone not needing support from the building structure. The horizontal boom in this case is attached to a pivoting vertical column that is anchored solidly to the floor of the building. This kind of jib crane can rotate a full 360 degrees and requires a foundation made of either concrete or steel.

Mast-Type
The mast-type jib cranes feature a vertical column which is supported by pivot points at the top and the bottom that are attached to the floor of the building and the overhead steel structure. These jib-cranes provide 360 degrees of rotation with the advantage of not needing the massive foundation required for free-standing units.

Wall Mounted
Wall mounted jib cranes are connected to the wall of the building instead of supporting a typical vertical column. These cranes offer a horizontal boom. These machine are ideal in areas where the full 360 degree rotation is not needed and offer up to 200 degrees of rotation.

Depending on how the boom is supported, there are two model varieties. One type uses a tie rod from above the boom that is attached to the wall. The other type supports the boom from below by using a cantilever brace that is attached to the wall also.
