Working Principle of Column Mounted Jib Crane

 

The operation of a column mounted jib crane involves several coordinated movements to lift, transport, and position materials efficiently. The process can be broken down into the following steps:

 

Lifting: The hoist raises the load. The operator controls the hoist, which can be done via a control pendant, remote control, or manual operation. The hoist's lifting mechanism usually consists of a motor, gearbox, drum, and wire rope or chain.

 

Horizontal movement: The trolley, which carries the hoist, moves along the jib arm. This movement allows the load to be positioned anywhere along the length of the arm. The trolley is typically driven by a motor or manually pushed.

 

Rotation: The jib arm rotates around the pillar, enabling the crane to cover a circular area. The rotation can be manual or powered by an electric motor. The degree of rotation depends on the crane's design and installation environment.

 

Lowering: Once the load is in the desired position, the hoist lowers it to the ground or onto a surface. The operator carefully controls the descent to ensure precise placement and safety.

 

Column mounted jib crane are highly valued for their flexibility, ease of use, and efficiency in handling materials in confined spaces. They are commonly used in workshops, warehouses, and production lines where space and mobility are critical.

 

 
Components of Column Mounted Jib Crane
 

 

The pillar of the slewing jib crane is composed of a circular tube, with the base plate and the ends of the rotating shaft welded to it, and a waist ring track installed on the upper part. The base plate is fixed to the cement ground with chemical bolts to ensure the stability of the crane. A through hole is formed on the rotating shaft to hide the cable inside the column. The 360-degree collector can be installed on the rotating shaft, allowing the jib to rotate 360 degrees. The waist ring track is used for the rotation of the pillar-mounted slewing jib crane. Several small holes are installed on the track to install rotation limit blocks, which can achieve 0-360 degree angle limitation.

 

The arm of the slewing jib is composed of i-beam and h-beam. It is suitable for the installation and operation of various chain hoists. A movable locking device is installed at both ends to ensure that the hoist works within a specific stroke.

 

The support bracket of the slewing jib crane is welded with rectangular steel pipes and steel plates that support the jib. Triangular support, superior mechanical structure, light weight, and high safety. There are two rotating wheels under the bracket. The electric rotation of the pillar-mounted slewing jib crane is achieved by driving the active wheel through a light-duty worm gear reducer motor.

 

The rotation device of the pillar-mounted slewing jib crane uses a circular tube as the housing and installs a self-aligning roller bearing inside to achieve free rotation of the jib. Due to the performance of the self-aligning roller bearing itself, even if there is a slight deviation in concentricity between the waist ring and the pillar, it can ensure the safe use of the slewing jib crane.

 

The c-shaped track can be installed on the rotating arm of the slewing jib crane for installing power cables for electric hoists. It has a small and beautiful appearance and strong applicability.

 

How to Install Column Mounted Jib Crane
 

Choose the location: The first step is to choose the location where the pillar jib crane will be installed. The location should be level, sturdy, and able to support the weight of the crane and the load it will be carrying.

 

Prepare the foundation: The next step is to prepare the foundation for the crane. This involves digging a hole and pouring concrete to create a stable base for the crane. The size and depth of the foundation will depend on the size and weight of the crane.

 

Install the pillar: After the foundation has been prepared, the pillar can be installed. The pillar should be bolted securely to the foundation to ensure stability.

 

Install the jib arm: The next step is to install the jib arm onto the pillar. The jib arm should be aligned properly with the pillar and bolted securely in place.
