2) Jib Cranes

The second most commonly used cranes in the industry are jib cranes.

A jib crane operates like an arm in a work area where it can function as a manipulator to position the respective goods.

A hoist is attached to the arm for lifting. The hoist can move along the arm, to lift the goods from one place to another. The arm can be mounted onto the wall or to the floor as support, and it can rotate 360°.

Great industrial product is Jib Crane.
Jib cranes are a type in which there is a horizontal portion, known as a jib or a boom that supports a hoist, which is movable. The horizontal member of this type of crane is fixed either to a wall or floor-mounted pillar.

Jib cranes are most often used on military vehicles or in industrial facilities. The horizontal jib can either be fixed, or it can swing through in an arcing movement, which provides more lateral movement.
