Articulating jib cranes are the ideal solution in environments with limited space or complex spatial layouts, where conventional rigid jib cranes cannot be installed due to obstacles such as columns, pipes, cables, or fixed machinery.
GD’s articulating jib cranes offer a compact, flexible, and reliable alternative to meet these challenges. Thanks to their precision-engineered articulated joints with roller bearings, they allow smooth and effortless movement, enabling operators to position loads quickly, accurately, and efficiently even in the tightest spaces.
These cranes are particularly well-suited for:
Articulating jib cranes are ideal for small load capacities (e.g., 100–500 kg) and short outreach where space-saving and easy operation are critical. Their ergonomic, smooth, and precise movement makes them perfect for frequent and repetitive lifting tasks, significantly reducing operator fatigue over time.
The jib arm can move freely in any direction, and the energy supply system follows the articulated joints, ensuring seamless operation of integrated gripper devices at all times. The system can be easily equipped with various load handling attachments, including:
This versatility makes articulating jib cranes highly adaptable to different industries and changing operational needs.
With a rigid suspension version, the crane can even function as a manipulator, allowing for extremely precise handling and fine positioning. This is especially valuable for tasks that require stable and delicate load positioning, such as handling sensitive components or assembling precision parts.
GD’s articulating jib cranes feature a robust yet compact design, ensuring long service life with minimal maintenance requirements. Their construction not only boosts operational efficiency but also enhances operator safety and comfort.
Choose GD’s articulating jib crane systems if you need a space-saving, efficient, and precise lifting solution that performs flawlessly even in obstructed or tight environments.
