Here we would like to talk about the safe use and operation of jib cranes. Both floor mounted jib crane and wall mounted jib crane are popular in many industries due to its advantages.

Jib cranes are used to lift and transport heavy objects and because they are frequently used in lifting operations across multiple industries, you may want to know the basic safety guidelines that may allow you to use the equipment safely as well as efficiently.

First of all, you should have a professional engineer to install your swing jib cranes.

This is the way to ensure that the equipment is mounted securely and that its foundation is able to withstand the weight of the load. Most importantly, it should be fully tested and certified before use.

Secondly, slewing jib cranes should be inspected before general use and you should look for certain common warning signs such as the presence of debris on the runway, structural defects, missing or loosened bolts, and cracked welds.

Additionally, you should check if the jib’s arm slides smoothly. You can promote a stable lift by ensuring that the jib arm is positioned right over the load and near the centre of the gravity of the load.
