What is the 125Kgs SWL Free-Standing Jib Crane – Over Braced used for?

The 125Kgs SWL Free-Standing Jib Crane – Over Braced is designed for lifting and moving lighter loads such as components, tooling, steel, granite, or timber. It is commonly used in workshops, warehouses, production lines, and loading bays where overhead or gantry cranes are not practical.

How does an over-braced free-standing jib crane work?

This swing jib crane consists of two main parts – the upright pillar and the slewing arm. The arm rotates manually up to 270°, while a trolley runs along the beam to move the hoist or vacuum lifter into position. This simple manual operation makes the jib crane easy to use and very low maintenance.

What is the difference between an over-braced and an under-braced jib crane?

The 125Kgs SWL Free-Standing Jib Crane – Over Braced has its support bracing above the beam, which maximises the trolley travel distance and allows more clearance underneath. An under-braced jib crane has the bracing below the beam, which can restrict trolley travel but is better for height-restricted spaces.

Can the 125Kgs SWL Free-Standing Jib Crane – Over Braced be customised?

At ULS Lifting, we can manufacture over-braced jib cranes with pillar heights and arm lengths between 2m and 6m, ensuring the crane is built to fit your exact workspace. We also offer optional extras such as slewing locks, adjustable limits, and electrical isolators.

What lifting equipment can be used with this swing jib crane?

The 125Kgs SWL Free-Standing Jib Crane – Over Braced is supplied with a push travel trolley as standard. This allows you to fit manual chain hoists, electric hoists, vacuum lifters, or spring balancers directly onto the beam, depending on the load and application.

Is the 125Kgs SWL Free-Standing Jib Crane – Over Braced easy to install?

The jib crane is supplied in two parts – the pillar and the arm – making it simple to install. It bolts directly to a suitable concrete floor using anchor bolts. ULS offers full crane installation services or can supply the crane in kit form for your own engineers to fit.

Does the free-standing jib crane require much maintenance?

The 125Kgs SWL Free-Standing Jib Crane – Over Braced requires very little maintenance due to its lubrication-free pivot bushes and trolley design. However, under UK LOLER regulations, it must be thoroughly examined at least every 12 months. ULS provides service and maintenance packages to keep your crane compliant and in top condition.

Can I use a 125Kgs SWL Free-Standing Jib Crane outdoors?
