At Lifting Gear Direct, (Lifting Gear Direct ) we manufacture and sell Jib crane and Swing Jib Crane systems as well as many other different types of cranes. Our own range is packed with options for customers with diverse needs. A Jib crane may also be called a swing jib and is a type of crane system to which a hoisting device is usually fixed to aid in the lifting and lowering and moving of heavy objects within a specific work area. A Jib crane is normally fixed to the floor or a wall providing they are structurally sound and capable of withstanding the loads to be lifted. (An independent assessment may need to be made to clarify this).

We can build custom swing jib cranes to the exact specifications you provide. We can also install, test, inspect and repair these cranes to give you peace of mind throughout each model’s life cycle. Here is a brief overview of the different types of lifting jibs to help you get started. Just click through to the product pages for in-depth details.
The Jib consists of a supporting beam or column (depending on where it is to be fitted) to which a jib arm (also called a boom) is cantilevered out from. It may be over-braced which provide larger lifting capacities and more under-beam height/space, or under-braced which are ideal where head room is tight. It is the jib arm or boom which rotates to allow the load to be moved from one place to another within the slewing area. Lifting Gear Direct’s standard jib cranes can slew up to 270 degrees, though we can often supply others if requested; We can also produce the jib crane with the jib arm in lengths up to 8 metres. Our over-braced options are available from 125kg up to 2000kg capacities.
Basically it is a much safer and quicker way to lift and move loads, placing no strain on the human skeleton, and so no injuries, also the jib can lift capacities that no human could, so it is also cost effective.
You will usually find Jib cranes in most industrial settings and also dockyards and warehouses for loading and unloading in specific areas. The construction industry also uses jib cranes as do car garages for lifting and lowering heavy engines.
Our site is home to some of the highest quality lifting equipment on the market, with major brands represented prominently across our various categories. But if standard types of cranes are not enough and you need a unit which is built from scratch to meet your needs, our in-house creations are just what you are looking for.
The wall mounted models are a good example of this, blending design ingenuity with practical knowhow and competitive pricing. We also manufacture floor mounted Jibs as well as column mounted Jibs, all of which can be under braced or over braced to suit your needs. It is a question of whether your business can afford to be without one. Lifting Gear Direct can also supply any type of lifting equipment and hoisting gear at great prices.
