125Kgs SWL Free Standing Jib Crane - Under Braced

125Kgs SWL Free Standing Jib Crane - Under Braced

All our manufactured under braced swing jibs are

- Duty classification:  A3 according to BS 733: 1990 

- All jibs are lubrication free.  The pivot bushes are acetal and therefore do not require lubrication.

- Manual slewing arm operation

- Minimal maintenance requirement

- Clutch controlled slewing mechanism, can be tightened/loosened to control how freely the arm pivots.  

- Bases are fully welded to the column – in most situations, this removes the need for an oversized load spreading plate or setting an anchor frame into concrete, therefore making installation much quicker and more cost-effective.

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.
