Tight-Space Lifting with an 80 kg Mini Gantry Jib

FullSharp installed an 80 kg jib crane built in mini gantry style to fit a corner of a workshop that lifts light parts many times a day. An electric hoist handles lifting and the swing arm brings parts between pickup and drop point, so the shop avoids a full bridge crane and no building changes are needed.

The customer's workshop only needs to lift light parts and components, but they still have to be picked up and set down many times a day. A full-size bridge crane would be far more than needed and would take up valuable floor space. The work area itself sits tucked into one corner of the shop.

FullSharp installed an 80 kg jib crane built as a mini gantry crane, sized to fit exactly into the work corner. An electric hoist handles the lifting while the swing arm brings the load to where it needs to go. The system is quick to install and requires no changes to the building.

Equipment Installed

Mini gantry structure: a compact steel frame that takes up little floor space, fitting neatly into a corner or narrow work aisle.
Swing arm: rotates around the post to move the load between the pickup point and the drop point without any walking.
80 kg electric hoist: lifts and lowers with a pendant control at a steady speed, with a brake to hold the load.
Trolley on the beam: shifts the reach along the beam to place the load exactly where needed.
Base and end stops: keep the frame stable when lifting at full reach and limit travel at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

Is a bridge crane needed for light parts?

Usually not. For light parts in one area, a compact 80 kg jib crane does the job without the cost and floor space of a bridge crane.

How much space does a mini gantry jib crane take?

The compact steel frame fits into a corner or a narrow aisle. FullSharp sizes it to the exact work corner after a site check.

Does installation require building changes?

No. The structure stands on its own and installs quickly without changes to the building. The 80 kg electric hoist lifts and lowers by pendant control.
