slide 1: A Brief Look at The Unique Features of Jib Cranes
Whether it is a small or a large civil engineering project cranes are
often used with them to handle different kinds of lifting requirements.
Among the various types of cranes that are used in construction and
engineering projects a jib crane is one of the most important types. So
let’s have a look at the different features of jib cranes and see how they
can be useful to us.
A jib crane can be defined as a crane that has a mounted arm which is
used for lifting lowering and moving materials. This arm is mounted at
an acute angle from a base or in a perpendicular way from a pillar or
wall. The arm can rotate along central axis for limited arc or a full circle.
The cranes are commonly used in places like warehouses and docks for
the purpose of uploading and unloading large shipping containers.
slide 2: The main reason for which jib cranes are so widely used in the
industrial construction and engineering sectors is that they offer a
distinct mechanical advantage over other types of cranes. This
mechanical advantage actually refers to the fact that jib cranes can
work like a pulley and multiply the force that is exerted on the machine
by some given factor. In modern jib crane machines a robust metal
cable remains wrapped around jib strut ends and the end part of the
hoist frequently stays connected to a hook or electromagnet. The other
end stays connected to some metallic winch. Once the winch is
activated the pulley exerts a lifting force which is equal to that which is
applied by metallic winch. In a jib crane the hoist can easily move
outwards or inwards along its jib length which allows for better ease
and flexibility of motion.
Unlike certain other types of cranes this type of cranes is not restricted
to some fixed location. This can be mounted on some movable chassis
which can then be used for various military operations or any other
kind of temporary works. Cranes like these usually focus on mobility
instead of lifting capacity. There are different types of jib cranes
