Machine Feed Station Lifting, Fixed-Base Jib Crane

FullSharp installed a fixed-base jib crane with its column bolted to the concrete floor right at a machining station, for parts picked up and set down around the same spot all day. The arm carries an electric hoist, so the operator lifts with a button and swings the part to the next spot without waiting for the plant's shared crane.

A machining station usually picks up and sets down parts around the same spot all day. Waiting for the plant's shared crane wastes time, while lifting by hand is heavy work and lacks precision.

FullSharp installs a fixed-base jib crane right at the station, its column bolted to the floor. The arm carries an electric hoist, so the operator presses the button to lift and swings the arm to move the part to the next spot.

Fixed-Base Jib Crane with Electric Hoist

Fixed-base jib crane anchored to the floor, with the arm carrying an electric hoist at the work station.

Equipment Installed

Fixed column and base: a steel base bolted to the concrete floor, withstanding the moment load when the arm carries a load.
Rotating jib arm: swings around the column, covering a fan-shaped work area around the station.
Electric hoist: lifts and lowers with an electric motor at a steady speed, controlled through a pendant button box.
Arm trolley: moves the hoist in and out along the reach needed.

Frequently asked questions

Why install a jib crane at a single machine?

When a station lifts parts all day, waiting for a shared overhead crane wastes time. A dedicated jib crane is always ready.

How is a fixed-base jib crane anchored?

A steel base is bolted to the concrete floor. FullSharp checks the slab before installation so the anchor holds the arm load.

Where is a fixed jib crane used?

Fixed machining stations, machine feed and finished part removal stations, and material warehouses that lift goods on and off shelves at the same spot all day.
