Wall-Mounted Tie Rod Jib Cranes

A jib is actually a type of crane, not a separate category. The term 'jib' specifically refers to the horizontal load-bearing arm, while 'crane' is the broader machine that includes the arm, mounting structure, hoist, and trolley. Bridge or gantry cranes cover large areas, whereas jib cranes serve a fixed rotational zone.

The name comes from the horizontal 'jib' arm that projects from the mast or wall mount, similar to a ship's jib sail boom. This arm supports the trolley and hoist, sweeping through an arc to position loads, which is why the equipment is named after its defining structural component.

American Hoists' wall-mounted tie rod jib cranes are available from 1/4 Ton up to 5 Tons, covering light-duty workstation lifting through heavier industrial loads. This range allows manufacturers to match crane capacity precisely to their material handling requirements without over- or under-specifying equipment.

Wall-mounted tie rod jib cranes attach to an existing wall or structural column using a bracket and tie rod support system, eliminating the need for a floor-mounted foundation. This design saves floor space and simplifies installation, though it does require a wall or column capable of bearing the rated load.

In-stock wall-mounted jib cranes from American Hoists typically ship within a standard lead time of 10 days. For specific lead times, custom configurations, or expedited shipping options, customers are encouraged to contact a hoist specialist directly for current availability.

American Hoists' wall-mounted tie rod jib cranes provide a standard lift height of 8 feet or more, paired with variable speed hoist control for precise positioning. This lift height suits most workstation and warehouse applications requiring localized vertical material movement.
