Jib cranes

Robust lifting for dynamic work environments

  •  

    Konecranes jib cranes are vital to any production process requiring speed, accuracy, and minimal downtime. Designed for a seamless user experience, they are versatile, durable, and serve almost any kind of workstation, providing support for overhead cranes on production lines, and helping to keep terminals, machining cells, and warehouses operating smoothly.

    With several different ways to fix the jib to the wall or floor, and a variety of hoists available, they are perfectly suited to a wide variety of facilities. The cranes have a load capacity of up to 2,000 kg and a slewing motion that can reach 300 degrees with a pillar jib, and 270 degrees with a wall mounted jib.

Customer story

New assembly hall benefits from comprehensive crane concept

The crane concept for Burckhardt Compression included an electric chain hoist and a wall jib crane, each with up to 2 tons lifting capacity as well as two double-girder bridge cranes.

The collaboration with Konecranes is very professional.With high-technology solutions such as the tandem operation and the adaptive lifting speeds, the transport of components and compressors is significantly faster and safer. We now save up to a maximum of one third of production time. Clemens Jaser, Building Design
