A common need in construction and similar industries is the ability to move large items around quickly and without fuss. Sometimes this is no problem, and workers can simply pick stuff up and move it themselves. Other times, that’s not a suitable option. Even if a bunch of workers are strong enough together to move something heavy, it could still be too risky, potentially causing serious injuries in the attempt. In cases such as these, a jib crane comes in handy.

Why Use a Jib Crane
A jib crane is a small crane that typically comes with a trolley and a hoist, commonly used for industrial, engineering, and construction projects. There are many advantages with using a jib crane:
#1: They’re Extremely Strong
Jib cranes are designed to be extremely strong. The maximum lifting and load capacity will vary from model to model, but any model will be able to make the task of performing any lifting a lot easier.
#2: They’re Inexpensive
As one of the smallest cranes available, the jib crane is easier to manufacture and install, making it one of the most affordable cranes to rent or buy. They are also inexpensive to maintain and service, which means they are a cost-effective investment. You can buy one if you will need one for a long period of time, but if you only have short-term projects, it likely will be easier and more cost-effective to rent. Call Elevate in Oklahoma City to rent a jib crane today. Our rigging team can install the crane for you, following our focused safety strategy, and also will provide the members of your team guidance for improved safety.
#3: They Simplify Your Project
Jib cranes are easy to operate, functional, and extremely versatile. They can hold tons of heavy objects and swivel up to 360 degrees. Yet, even while they are small and easy to use, they are still extremely powerful. Jib cranes are the perfect piece of equipment for any size project, saving you time and sweat.
#4: Great Reach
The jib part of the jib crane provides greater reach than a usual hoist. A usual hoist is in a fixed position and can only lift items straight up and then set them down somewhere higher up. Jib cranes are able to be extended and adjusted, providing you with an extremely versatile solution for moving heavy objects.
