Many tasks don't need a large crane, just lifting an item of a few dozen to a few hundred kilograms and setting it down in the right spot. Manual handling is heavy and easy to misplace, while a large crane is bulky and slow. This is the gap that an assist lifting device fills.

The pneumatic jib crane uses compressed air as the lifting force, so the operator only needs to push and guide direction. A 360-degree rotating joint extends the working range around the column. The end tool is interchangeable, from a hook and gripper to a suction cup, depending on each workshop's goods.

Pneumatic Assist Jib Crane for Workshops

A pneumatic jib crane installed in the production area of the workshop.

Equipment Included

  • Steel column and arm: load-bearing, installed right at the work station, taking up little floor space.
  • Pneumatic cylinder and valve assembly: creates smooth lifting force, holding the load suspended for precise positioning.
  • 360-degree rotating joint: sweeps the whole work area around the column without moving the load by hand.
  • Interchangeable end tool: lifting hook, gripper, or suction cup to match the type of goods.

Key Specifications

  • Joint rotation angle360 degrees

Benefits for Your Facility

Light-effort operation

Compressed air carries the weight, workers only use force to push and guide direction.

Accurate placement

Holding the load suspended and lowering slowly makes it easier to align into a machine or onto a stack.

Low noise

Runs on compressed air without a large electric motor, for a more pleasant work environment.
