What is Jib Cranes?

A jib crane is a type of overhead lifting device that uses a horizontal beam (the jib) to support a movable hoist. The jib is either fixed to a wall or floor, or it is a self-supporting pillar-mounted crane. Jib cranes are commonly used in industrial settings, workshops, and loading docks to lift and move materials within a defined arc of rotation. They offer flexibility and are suitable for tasks that require precise positioning of loads.
