The jib crane is a fixed handling device. CIPAL designs it to order for the lifting and movement of loads around a workstation. It thus intervenes where an overhead crane or gantry is not suited to the available space. Furthermore, it improves ergonomics and productivity at workshop or warehouse workstations. Its applications cover in particular machine-tool feeding, end-of-line palletising and maintenance operations.
Jib crane — three configurations for each installation constraint
CIPAL offers three main configurations depending on installation constraints. The column-mounted jib crane anchors independently to the workshop floor with rotation up to 360°. Mounted on an existing runway, the rail-mounted version thus covers an extended working area. The free-standing configuration furthermore offers a solution without fixed anchoring, ideal for constrained environments or temporary installations.
Robust and durable equipment
Every jib crane integrates an actuation system suited to the site’s output. CIPAL offers electric or pneumatic solutions depending on the environment. Built without load-bearing welds, our jib cranes are moreover manufactured from high-resistance materials. They thus follow a durability logic that reduces maintenance costs over the long term.
Applications across numerous industrial sectors
The bespoke jib crane finds applications across a wide range of industrial sectors. It is thus particularly suited to feeding and unloading workstations in mechanical engineering workshops, the handling of sub-assemblies in the automotive industry, and heavy component lifting in industrial maintenance. Logistics and warehousing operations furthermore benefit from its compact design and flexible rotation. Its three available configurations consequently make it the reference solution for any company seeking to optimise its workstation handling operations.
The engineering department sizes each jib crane according to the application’s constraints. It takes into account frequency of use and the operating environment. Every unit is moreover delivered with a complete technical file: operating instructions, structural calculations and CE marking.
