Why choose an Under Braced Free Standing Jib Crane?

It’s all about the headroom. Under Braced Jib Cranes are designed with all structural bracing positioned below the main arm, which is constructed from a robust steel I-beam. This clever configuration minimises the height required above the working area, making it an ideal choice for environments with limited overhead space.

This low-headroom design is particularly beneficial in areas such as tool rooms, workshops with low ceilings, or spaces with overhead obstructions like lighting, ducting, or pipework. If roof height or other restrictions are a concern, an under braced free standing jib crane offers an efficient and practical lifting solution.

What are the main advantages of an under braced jib crane?

The primary benefit of an under braced Jib crane is its compact, low-headroom profile, but it also offers several other practical advantages. The I-beam construction supports electric hoists with powered travel, which fit neatly onto the beam, making it a great option if productivity is key. The simplified design means fewer moving parts, reducing wear and tear, and keeping maintenance costs low. These cranes typically only require standard 12-monthly servicing under normal operating conditions. ULS offers service and maintenance packages to help you stay compliant and operational.

These cranes typically only require standard 12-monthly servicing under normal operating conditions. ULS offers service and maintenance packages to help you stay compliant and operational.

How do over braced and profile jib cranes compare?

Over braced Jib cranes or those made from steel profile track tend to be lighter and less expensive, but they have notable limitations. The bracing sits above the working arm, which increases the required headroom, making them unsuitable for many low-ceiling spaces. They can also only accommodate push travel trolleys. In contrast, under braced I-beam Jib cranes are better suited to compact spaces and can be paired with powered trolleys and electric hoists. While they’re heavier, they offer greater versatility and lifting performance in restricted environments.

How are under braced Jib cranes installed?

These swing jibs are designed for straightforward floor mounting. Once your floor is verified as suitable by a structural engineer, installation is simple: drill the floor, secure the mounting plate, and assemble the crane on-site. ULS can handle the entire process - including hoist fitting, commissioning, and load testing - using our fully trained engineers. Alternatively, if you prefer to handle the install yourself, we can support commissioning and sign-off to ensure compliance and safety. We offer flexible installation packages to meet your project needs. Find out more about crane installations on our website, or call our team on 01384 986 026.

How do cranes work?

The crane is built around two main components: a fixed pillar and a swinging arm. The arm rotates up to 270° as standard, allowing you to cover a large working area. If a full swing isn’t required, slew limiters can be added to restrict the angle. A trolley - either push or powered - travels along the full length of the Jib arm, giving you maximum reach and flexibility to move loads efficiently, even into corners or tight spaces.

What hoist options are available?

Your Jib crane will need a hoist to complete the lifting system. ULS offers both manual and electric hoists:
- Manual hoists are cost-effective and simple.
- Electric hoists provide faster, more efficient lifting and lowering of loads, improving productivity and often paying for themselves through time saved.

Easy to install 

These Under braced free standing swing jibs, simply just bolt to the floor, once you have checked your floor is suitable for a swing Jib crane, we work with you to design design, Ultimate Lifting Solutions Limited arranges to manufacture the Jib, and then when it is supplied to site, the floor just needs to be drilled and the floor mounting plate secured -  Ultimate Lifting Solutions Ltd can offer the full installation of both the Jib and hoist by using our own highly trained engineers. Alternatively, if you want to install your jib crane yourself, ULS offer the commissioning and load testing of your crane. 

How do 125Kgs SWL Free Standing Jib Crane - Under Braced Swing Jibs work?

A standard swing jib as mentioned has two main parts - the pillar and the arm. The arm can rotate from left to right and vice versa, the swing or slew angle is set at 270° as standard. On all our swing Jibs up to 125Kgs, they will slew with ease without the requirements of powered assistance, hence keeping the costs down. If you do not require the full 270°, we can fit slew limits to restrict what angle the Jib arm swings to

The arm on our Jib cranes is supplied ready to have a trolley and then hoist fitted to it, this trolley will move up and down the full length of the arm, giving you the reach and flexibility to reach into corners of your factory with ease. 

What else is required for 125 kg SWL Free Standing Jib Crane - Under Braced?

You now have your swing jib fitted. You now need a hoist, which fits to your crane easily via a trolley (push or powered trolleys are available).  You just need to decide what hoist you need and what style of trolley you require. To keep the costs down, a manual hoist is the cheapest option, but you will not save on production time, as they are slow and do need assistance by hand, and sometimes, for larger items, you might not be able to reach them. 

The second option and best option is an electric hoist, these hoists enable you to easily lift and lower your components quickly, cutting down on production time, and it will soon pay for itself in time saved. Ultimate Lifting Solutions supply various electrical hoists from all the top manufacturers such as Stahl, Yale, GIS and Liftket to name a few.

FAQs – 125kg Under Braced Free Standing Jib Crane

What is the main benefit of choosing an under braced Jib crane?

The under braced design keeps all structural supports below the jib arm, significantly reducing required overhead clearance. This makes it ideal for low height jib installations in workshops, tool rooms, or areas with restricted headroom from lighting, pipework, or ceiling structures.


What is the standard slewing angle, and can it be limited?

The arm on this free standing jib crane offers a standard 270° slew angle, covering a large working area. If your layout requires a restricted swing, optional slew limiters can be fitted to reduce the angle of rotation.


How tall can the Jib crane be?

We manufacture all pillar jib cranes to order. The typical height range is from 2m to 6m, with matching arm lengths available from 2m to 6m. Let our team help you configure the right dimensions for your space and workflow.


Can I use this crane with an electric hoist?

Yes. The I-beam jib arm supports both push and powered travel trolleys, making it suitable for use with an electric chain hoist. ULS offers hoists from trusted brands such as Stahl, Yale, GIS, and Liftket. We also supply manual hoists for more budget-conscious applications.


How does this compare to over braced or profile track Jibs?

Under braced workshop jib cranes provide better clearance and are compatible with powered trolleys, unlike over braced or profile track systems which need more headroom and only accommodate push trolleys. The under braced style is heavier, but more robust and versatile in tighter spaces.


What does the installation process involve?

This floor mounted jib crane bolts directly to a suitable concrete floor. Once the site is checked for load capacity, installation is simple: drill, bolt down, and assemble. ULS can provide full installation, commissioning, and load testing, or supply the crane for self-installation with commissioning support available.


What type of trolley is included or recommended?

A manual push trolley is often used with this crane, but if you're using an electric hoist, a powered trolley is strongly recommended. Both options are available and can be configured to match your chosen hoist and lifting capacity.


What is the delivery time?

Our under braced Jib cranes are UK-manufactured to order. Typical turnaround time is 2–3 weeks from design to dispatch. If you have an urgent need, please contact us to confirm lead time.


Is servicing required?

Yes. Like all lifting equipment, this crane should be serviced at 12-month intervals under LOLER regulations. ULS offers full servicing and maintenance packages to help you stay compliant and operational.
