1,000Kgs SWL Free Standing Jib Crane with Manual Chain Hoist

The 1,000Kgs SWL Free-Standing Jib Crane with Manual Chain Hoist is designed for durability and minimal upkeep, but like all lifting equipment it requires regular checks to remain compliant with LOLER and to guarantee safe, efficient performance.

To keep your jib crane in peak condition, we recommend:

- Visual checks before each use: Inspect the jib arm, base plate, chain hoist, and trolley for signs of wear, damage, or deformation.

- Hoist inspection: Ensure the manual chain hoist is operating smoothly and that the chain shows no signs of distortion or excessive wear.

- Slew mechanism check: The clutch-controlled slewing can be adjusted; ensure the arm pivots freely without obstruction.

- Anchor points: Check the base plate and resin anchor bolts securing the jib to the floor are tight and free from cracks or looseness.

- 12-month LOLER inspections: In line with HSE requirements, both the jib crane and manual hoist must be thoroughly examined by a competent person at least every 12 months.

At ULS Lifting, we provide complete service and maintenance packages, including:

- Scheduled servicing and inspections
