Jib cranes are widely used in various industries due to their versatility and convenience. There are different types of jib cranes, and each of them has its own installation features.
Wall-mounted jib cranes
Installation features:
Wall mounting: wall-mounted jib cranes are mounted directly on walls or other vertical structures of the building. It is important to ensure that the wall to which the crane will be attached is strong enough to withstand the working loads.
Alignment and strength: special attention must be paid to the alignment of the console relative to the horizontal plane. Incorrect alignment can lead to distortions and uneven loading of the crane, which increases the risk of breakage.
Anchoring: special anchors and fasteners are used, designed for the weight and dynamic load of the crane. The use of low-quality or unsuitable fasteners is unacceptable.
Wiring: if it is necessary to install electrical wiring to control the lifting mechanism, it must be protected from mechanical damage and environmental influences.
Column-mounted jib cranes
Installation features:
Installation on a foundation: column-mounted jib cranes require a reliable foundation, which must be properly calculated and executed. The dimensions and depth of the foundation depend on the weight of the crane and the maximum lifting capacity.
Column installation: the column is installed vertically on the foundation and fixed with anchor bolts. It is very important to ensure a strictly vertical position of the column, as the safety and durability of the crane depend on this.
Console fastening: the cantilever beam is attached to the column using bolted connections or welding. Fasteners must be properly tightened and checked for compliance with design requirements.
Load distribution: it is important to correctly distribute the load on the base and foundation of the crane to avoid overloads and deformations.
