Capacity

BZK

Floor-Mounted Pillar Jib Crane, BZK Type

125 – 1000 kg
Electric

The BZK jib crane stands on a steel pillar anchored to the floor, with a slewing arm that carries an electric chain hoist. It suits a fixed workstation where loads are lifted and moved within a radius around the pillar, such as an assembly station, a machine or a loading area. It is designed for loads up to 1 ton and arm lengths up to 7 m, with a slewing angle of up to 270°. The arm is turned by hand, and the structure is designed to make better use of the lifting height under the arm. The pillar is fixed to the foundation with chemical anchors, and end stops on the arm limit the trolley travel. Design to DIN 15018, classes H2/B2. Permitted lifting capacity depends on arm length. The model table lists the available combinations of arm length and load.

BZL

Floor-Mounted Pillar Jib Crane, BZL Type

125 – 500 kg
Electric

The BZL jib crane stands on a steel pillar anchored to the floor, with the arm mounted at the top of the pillar and no tie rod above it. This places the arm closer to the ceiling and gives more lifting height underneath. It suits halls with relatively low ceilings or jobs where the load needs to be lifted as high as possible. It is designed for loads up to 0.5 ton and arm lengths up to 7 m, with a slewing angle of up to 270°. The arm usually carries an electric chain hoist and is turned by hand. The pillar is fixed to the foundation with chemical anchors, and end stops on the arm limit the trolley travel. Design to DIN 15018, classes H2/B2. Permitted lifting capacity depends on arm length. The model table lists the available combinations of arm length and load.

BXK

Wall-Mounted Jib Crane, BXK Type

80 – 1000 kg
Electric

The BXK jib crane mounts on a wall or an existing structural column, so it takes up no floor space. The slewing arm usually carries an electric chain hoist, and the crane suits workstations along walls, next to machines and on production lines where the floor needs to stay clear. It is designed for loads up to 1 ton and arm lengths up to 7 m, with a slewing angle of up to 270°. The arm is built from a rail track, in a flexible or rigid version, and the trolley is easily pushed along it by hand. The crane's own weight is relatively low, so it can also be installed in light-structure industrial buildings, provided the wall or column can carry the load. Design to DIN 15018, classes H2/B2. Permitted lifting capacity depends on arm length. The model table lists the available combinations of arm length and load.

BXL

Wall-Mounted Jib Crane, BXL Type

125 – 500 kg
Electric

The BXL jib crane mounts on a wall or an existing structural column using a standard wall bracket, so it takes up no floor space and is simple to assemble. The arm sits at the top of the bracket with no tie rod above it, which places it closer to the ceiling and gives more lifting height underneath. It suits workstations along walls and halls with relatively low ceilings. It is designed for loads up to 0.5 ton and arm lengths up to 7 m, with a slewing angle of up to 270°. The arm usually carries an electric chain hoist and is turned by hand. End stops on the arm limit the trolley travel. Before installation, check that the wall or column can carry the load. Design to DIN 15018, classes H2/B2. Permitted lifting capacity depends on arm length. The model table lists the available combinations of arm length and load.

Floor-Mounted Pillar Jib Crane, BZD Type

1000 – 6300 kg
Electric

The BZD jib crane is built for heavier loads than the BZK and BZL models. It stands on a steel pillar set into a concrete foundation, and the arm slews a full 360° around it. Slewing is motor-driven, so the arm does not need to be pushed by hand even under heavy load. It suits loading areas, factory yards and workstations handling loads of several tons. It is designed for loads up to 6.3 tons and arm lengths up to 10 m. The arm usually carries an electric chain hoist, and end stops on the arm limit the trolley travel. An electric trolley for moving the hoist along the arm and a wireless remote control are available as options. Design to DIN 15018, classes H2/B2. Permitted lifting capacity depends on arm length. The model table lists the available combinations of arm length and load.

Electric Wall-Mounted Jib Crane, BXD Type

1000 – 5000 kg
Electric

The BXD is the heavy-duty model in the wall-mounted jib crane range. It mounts on a wall or an existing structural column using a standard wall bracket, so it takes up no floor space. The arm slews up to 180° under motor power, so it does not need to be pushed by hand even under heavy load. The arm sits at the top of the bracket with no tie rod above it, which gives more lifting height underneath. It is designed for loads up to 5 tons and arm lengths up to 10 m. The arm usually carries an electric chain hoist, and end stops on the arm limit the trolley travel. An electric trolley for moving the hoist along the arm and a wireless remote control are available as options. Before installation, check that the wall or column can carry the load. Design to DIN 15018, classes H2/B2. Permitted lifting capacity depends on arm length. The model table lists the available combinations of arm length and load.

Frequently asked questions

What we get asked about Jib Cranes

Column-mounted or wall-mounted jib crane?

A wall-mounted jib takes no floor space and suits workstations along walls, provided the wall or column can carry the load. A column-mounted jib needs anchoring in the floor or a foundation, and in the powered version allows a full 360 degree slew.

How much can a jib crane lift?

In the series on this site, 80 to 1,000 kg with manual slew on arms of 3 to 7 metres, and 1,000 to 6,300 kg with powered slew on arms of 5 to 10 metres.

What is the slewing angle of a jib crane?

Up to 270 degrees for a manual column crane, 360 degrees for a powered column crane, up to 270 degrees for a manual wall crane and up to 180 degrees for a powered wall crane.

Does a jib crane need a certified inspector's examination?

Yes. Section 79 of the Safety at Work Ordinance lists a crane in the definition of a lifting machine, so it is examined by a certified inspector at least once every 14 months, under section 81.

EOT Cranes (Electric Overhead Travelling Cranes)

An overhead travelling crane is installed at the top of the building and travels along a fixed runway, covering the whole hall while leaving the floor clear. The bridge travels the length of the hall, the hoist travels across the bridge and the hook raises and lowers, so the load can reach any point under the crane. Overhead cranes are used in manufacturing plants, warehouses, workshops and maintenance halls. Overhead cranes differ in two main ways: Runway mounting Top running crane: the bridge travels on rails mounted on top of the runway beams, which are supported on the building columns or on concrete corbels. This configuration suits heavy loads and wide spans. Underslung crane: the bridge hangs from the roof structure and runs on the lower flange of the runway beams. This configuration suits buildings with no room for columns, and lets the hook get closer to the side walls. Number of girders Single girder: one girder with the hoist running on its lower flange. Lighter construction and quicker to install, suited to light and medium loads. Double girder: two parallel girders with a hoist trolley running on top of them. The hook rises up between the girders, giving more lifting height, and the structure suits heavy loads and intensive duty. The right crane depends on lifting capacity, hall width, available headroom and the existing structure. The model pages list the technical data for each type. The crane moves along three axes, down the length of the building, across the bridge and vertically, and covers the entire floor area without forklifts and without temporary rigging. The first decision is the mounting method. A top running crane travels on rails carried by columns and uses almost the full height of the building, which suits heavy loads and wide spans. An underslung crane hangs from the roof structure, and suits cases where columns cannot be added or where the production floor has to stay clear, at the cost of a shorter span. The second decision is the number of girders. A single girder is lighter, less expensive and puts less load into the structure. A double girder carries far heavier loads and also gives more hook height in the same building, because the hook rises between the girders rather than below them. The third decision is the operating environment. A bridge crane is built around its hoist unit and electrical system, so it can be specified for the environment it will work in. Alongside the standard industrial build we supply versions for ATEX classified areas, for marine and coastal installations, for dusty and high humidity conditions and for aggressive chemical environments. The specification is fixed at the design stage rather than retrofitted, so the environment should be defined in your first enquiry. We supply 129 configurations across three series: single girder from 2 to 12.5 tonnes over spans of 10.5 to 31.5 metres, double girder from 5 to 50 tonnes over spans of 13.5 to 31.5 metres, and underslung from 2 to 10 tonnes over spans of 6 to 20 metres. Standard lifting height is 9 metres and the duty rating is A5 to FEM 2M. Every crane is engineered to your building dimensions, your loads and your operating environment rather than selected from a catalogue. We carry out the site survey, the design, the installation and the commissioning, and stay with the crane through routine maintenance for its working life.

Wire Rope Hoists

A wire rope hoist is an electric hoist in which a steel wire rope winds onto a drum, driven by an electric motor to raise and lower the load. Wire rope hoists suit heavier loads, greater lifting heights and more intensive duty than chain hoists, which makes them the usual choice for overhead cranes, gantry cranes and lifting systems that work full shifts. The hoist is mounted to suit the crane: on a trolley running on the lower flange of the beam in a single girder crane, on a crab running on rails above the two girders in a double girder crane, or fixed on a base. For buildings with limited headroom there are low headroom versions, where the hoist sits tight against the beam and leaves more height under the hook. Most hoists have two lifting speeds or inverter speed control, for fast travel between points and gentle placing of the load. Upper and lower limit switches restrict hook travel, and overload protection stops the lift when the load exceeds the rated capacity. Each hoist's duty classification sets the operating hours and starts it is designed for, and should be chosen to match the work in the plant. The model pages list the lifting capacity, lifting height, working speeds and duty classification of each hoist.
