Liftwell Engineers

MS jib crane is a type of overhead lifting device that’s often used in a smaller work cell area for repetitive and unique lifting tasks. Jib cranes are extremely versatile and can also be paired with overhead bridge cranes to maximize production.

Jib cranes are fairly simple in design but can have capacities ranging anywhere from 250 lbs. to 15 tons in some applications. Their ergonomic design is very appealing in a production environment because they can increase worker productivity, reduce workplace injuries, and improve safety.

For the most part, jib systems have a very basic design and construction. Compared to workstation cranes and bridge or gantry cranes, they’re simple to operate, and require less maintenance because they have less parts that could potentially breakdown or fail.
