MAST JIB CRANES• SPANCO mast mounted jib cranes offer a lower cost alternative tofree standing jib cranes.• Full 360° rotation, without requiring a large mounting foundation(which can cost more than the crane).• Requires top and bottom support of the mast to building floorand overhead building steel.• Power rotation is available on all models.WARNING:Jib cranes should not be hung from any existing building structure without first consulting aqualified architect or engineer for the purpose of determining if the structure is adequate. Severebodily injury and property damage can result if this procedure is not followed.MASTJIB CRANESstandardheight to20 ft.200 SERIESstandard capacities to 5 tonsGreater spans, heights, andcapacities on requeststandard spans to 20 ft.Full Cantilever• Utilizes an I-beam for the boomand an H-beam for the column.• Two types of bearing arrangements:1. A self-aligning spherical bearing is used onthe top bearing assembly.2.

WALLTRAVELINGJIB CRANESCost-effective SolutionsFor Lifting and MovingHeavy MaterialSPECIAL JIB CRANE DESIGNSWALL TRAVELING JIB CRANES• Wall traveling jib cranes are custom engineered as a perfectcomplement to an overhead crane system to perform tasksefficiently without tying up an overhead crane, also theycan be used to cover a series of workstations with little orno downtime waiting for an overhead crane.• Wall traveling jib crane end trucks use channel beam construction frames toresist twisting and are jig-fixtured and machined to maintain consistentmanufacturing tolerances. Bolt type connection to back frame for ease oferection and assembly. Top running end trucks utilize forged steel doubleflange crane wheels for long life.• Crane drive utilizes squirrel cage motor with double reduction spur gearreducer.• Standard single speed controls include mainline contactor, control transformer,inverter acceleration control and fuses in NEMA 3R, 4, 12 control enclosures.• Multi-speed units are equipped with variable frequency drives.• Jib boom is fabricated from standard “S” beam with vertical angle truss toreduce deflection. Jib boom and truss bolt to back frame for ease of erectionand assembly.• A professional architect or engineer should approve any wall traveling jibapplication since forces exerted on a building structure are severe.SPANCOmanufacturers themost complete line ofcustom designed andstandard jib cranes inthe United States.11

ARTICULATING JIB CRANESFree StandingARTICULATINGJIB CRANES• Articulating jib cranes can move loads around cornersand columns, reach into machinery and containers andservice an area from close to the pivot point to the end ofthe boom for 360° of operation. Capacities from 150 to2,000 lbs., spans to 16 ft.• Articulating jibs can be floor, wall, ceiling, or bridgecrane mounted to best suit your application.• Free standing and ceiling mounted series offer360° rotation with options tointernally pipecompressed air,vacuum orelectrificationto any devicesupported on theend of the boom.360°ROTATIONBridge and Ceiling Mounted• SPANCO’s bridge mountedarticulating jib design offersmore headroom than those byother manufacturers.• Bridge mounted jibs cansupport nearly any type ofmanipulator, balancer,or hoist.12
