(888) 544-2121
Free Standing Jib Crane Features
- Cost effective solution for lifting needs that can be covered within the radius created by the jib crane.
- Well-suited for use beneath traveling industrial cranes, in open areas where they serve several work cells.
- Anchor bolt kits and templates designed to allow for easy and accurate installation of anchor bolts are available for all floor mounted free standing jib cranes.
- Workstation jib cranes are available constructed from standard I-beams or for smaller capacities enclosed rail type jibs can be provided.
Free Standing Jib Crane Design Details
Foundation requirements for free standing jib cranes range from utilizing existing concrete floors that are as thin as 6 inches to large foundations that can be up to 5 ft deep and 11 ft. square. CraneWerks can provide jib foundations through a nationwide network of concrete specialists that we employ to accomplish turn-key installations of workstation jib cranes and other systems that require foundations.
Light capacities and short span jib cranes can in some cases be mounted onto portable bases that can be moved from place to place with a lift truck.
Disadvantages to free standing and other jib cranes are:
- Large foundations are required in many cases
- The floor coverage of a jib crane placed in a square work space is round, leaving many areas of the work cell not covered by the jib, wasting valuable production space.
Jib cranes accommodate the following lifting devices: wire rope, electric, and air powered chain hoists, chain fall hoists, vacuum lifters and balancers.
Free Standing Jib Crane Enclosed Rail
- Enclosed rail jibs are utilized when capacities are between 100 lb. to 1000 lb. and with spans up to 16 ft.
- The enclosed rail design on the boom reduces dead weight which allows for easier rotation than a standard I-beam jib crane.
Free Standing Jib Crane Structural I-Beam
- Large capacities and longer spans.
- Can be equipped with powered rotation and powered trolleys.
- Many existing jibs can even have motorized rotation added to them with one of our power rotation kits after the jib has been installed.

In the late 1990s, CraneWerks noticed that the American crane industry was in trouble. Big overseas companies were making huge inroads into the US market by setting up their own sales networks. Their seemingly unlimited resources and capabilities made it increasingly difficult for independent US dealers to stay competitive.
Against that backdrop, CraneWerks was founded in 1997 with a vision: give independent American dealers a chance to compete in their own backyard by giving them the opportunity to say “Yes” to all their customers’ overhead material handling needs.
The actions we take in our lives create lasting reverberations, often enduring beyond our time. Roger Graham, a cherished member of the CraneWerks family for 18 years, was a remarkable and generous individual whose actions and words have left a lasting impact. His legacy continues to resonate with those who had the privilege of knowing or working with him. In honor of his memory, the Roger Graham Scholarship is presented each year to a deserving local high school senior pursuing education in a trade school.
