Slewing Jib crane is a type of crane, which has a horizontal member called a jib or boom that supports a moveable hoist fixed to a wall or a floor-mounted pillar. With using a jib crane we can transport materials in semi-circles (180 degrees) or full circles (360 degrees) around their support structure.
The parts:
• Boom:cantilever beam extending from the support where a trolley and hoist travel.
• Hoist: The lifting mechanism, could be an electric chain hoist or wire rope hoist.
• Support Structure: Vertical pillar fixed to the floor or a wall mounted column bracket.
• Slewing Mechanism: A mechanism that allows the boom to rotate from 90° to 360°.
