The material of the frame selected was mild steel. The material of the frame should be tough enough to withstand the normal shock load and high bending stresses produced during the loading and transporting. The jib is an inbuilt portion of the column. The frame includes the base of the crane and the vertical column which is connected to the base. The main components of jib crane are frame and jib. The various components of the jib crane are: jib and frame (mild steel), electric motor (250 W), worm gear set, winding drum, pulleys, wheels, rope, hook, and forward and reverse switch. Mobile jib cranes consisting of truck mounted and crawler mounted cranes. Portal / Semi-portal cranes of different varieties-Wharf cranesĤ. For handling light loads these cranes may have auxiliary arrangement.ĭepending on the use, jib cranes are classified into a number of varieties, primarily on the basis of their mountings. Frequently these cranes are provided with two main hoisting winches which can be employed singly or together to lift a load. Jib crane used in ship yards for lifting heavy machinery and equipment, weighing 100 to 300 tons, are usually mounted on pontoons. Lifting heights may be 30 meters or more. Jib Cranes provided with grabbing facilities have usually a capacity ranging from 3 to 20 tons operating 50 to 100 cycles per hour. Such cranes find various applications in port area, construction site, and other outdoor works.įor handling general cargo, lifting capacities are usually 1.5 ton to 5 ton with maximum outreach of 30 meter. Lifting capacity of such cranes may vary from 1/2 ton to 200 ton and outreach from a few meter to 50 meter. Various sub-classifications of these cranes are possible.
