Jib Cranes
Improve workflow efficiency with Jib Cranes
Jib Cranes are popular, durable, and versatile lifting equipment. They are used in a wide range of applications because they are ideal for light or heavy-duty material handling within a defined space. They provide support for overhead cranes on production lines and help keep terminals, machining stations, and warehouses operating efficiently.
Jib cranes are vital to any production process that requires speed, accuracy, and minimal downtime. Available in floor/ column-mounted, wall-mounted, and articulating configurations, these cranes are a cost-effective and reliable material handling solution. O’Brien Lifting Solutions is the industry benchmark manufacturer of jib cranes in North America. We have what you need.
Lancer Jib Crane
Wall Mounted & Free Standing Lancer Jib Crane
For the rapid handling of workpieces, tools or small parts, the Lancer handling crane is available in wall mounted and free standing designs. The Lancer yields a high degree of rationalization when used as a handling device. As for a lifting device, an electric chain hoist or an electric telescopic load guide is available. By manual actuation on the load guide, the jib arm folds up, so every point in the work zone can be reached precisely and easily – the crane can practically rotate around the corner!
All cranes are supplied with a manual pivot resistance regulator as standard equipment. On request, compressed air parking brakes are also available, which keep the jib arm in the chosen position. The Lancer can also be used to feed energy and air exhaust systems or as a welding set carrier.
