When your facility needs localized lifting power without the footprint of an overhead system, an industrial jib crane is the ideal solution.
WF Group designs, installs, and services jib cranes that deliver safe and efficient handling. From small ½-ton wall-mounted units to 20-ton freestanding systems, WF Group provides jib crane installations engineered for performance and compliance.
A jib crane is a compact lifting system that provides rotation around a fixed point. A Jib crane is ideal for repetitive lifting tasks or confined spaces. Our cranes range in lifting capacity from 125 kg to 10tons.
They are highly customizable and will be perfectly suited to your lifting needs. Unlike an overhead bridge crane, a jib crane serves a defined workstation or radius to support operators working with specific equipment, parts, or tools. Typical configurations include:
Each jib crane system can be equipped with electric, pneumatic, or manual hoists, depending on the duty class, frequency of use, and ergonomic needs.
Jib cranes reduce manual handling, freeing operators to move materials quickly and safely within their work area.
A compact design allows for the installation of jib cranes alongside existing production lines without requiring major layout changes.
By handling repetitive or awkward lifts, jib cranes reduce workplace injuries and improve ergonomic safety, an essential factor in OH&S compliance.
Ideal for machine shops, maintenance bays, warehouses, and manufacturing floors. A jib crane can be installed indoors or outdoors. There are options for corrosion-resistant finishes available for harsh environments, as well as a food-grade option for use in food processing environments.
Lower installation and maintenance costs compared to full bridge systems, making jib cranes a practical option for targeted lifting applications.
Choosing the correct jib crane depends on your load capacity, work radius, and the structure of your building. WF Crane’s engineering team can help you evaluate:
Every project includes structural verification, ensuring proper anchoring and compliance with CSA B167 and OH&S regulations.
