Compact, Efficient Lifting Systems
Built by Munck.
Munck designs and manufactures jib cranes that provide efficient, localized lifting for workstations, production areas, and maintenance zones.
Built for precision and reliability, jib cranes are ideal for applications where materials need to be lifted and moved within a defined area without the need for a full overhead crane system.
What Is a Jib Crane?
A jib crane uses a horizontal arm mounted to a wall, column, or floor-mounted structure to lift and move materials within a circular or semi-circular work area.
These systems are designed to:
- Improve workflow efficiency
- Reduce manual handling
- Provide precise load positioning
- Support repetitive lifting tasks
When to Use a Jib Crane
Jib cranes are the ideal solution when:
- Lifting is confined to a specific workstation
- A full overhead crane system is not required
- You need to supplement an existing crane system
- Floor space or structural constraints limit larger systems
- Repetitive lifting tasks require improved ergonomics
They are commonly used to support production lines, machine loading, and maintenance operations.
Types of Jib Cranes
Munck manufactures a range of jib crane configurations to suit different applications and facility layouts.
Wall-Mounted
Jib Cranes
Mounted directly to a wall or column, these systems provide 180-degree rotation and are ideal for maximizing floor space.
Free-Standing
Jib Cranes
Mounted to the floor with a dedicated foundation, these cranes offer up to 360-degree rotation and maximum flexibility.
Mast-Style
Jib Cranes
Supported by both floor and ceiling structures, offering full rotation without requiring a large foundation.
Articulating
Jib Cranes
Featuring two pivoting arms, these systems allow for movement around obstacles and into tight workspaces.
