How to Choose a Crane for Your Facility

What is a jib crane?

A jib crane is a lifting device with a horizontal boom that rotates around a fixed pillar or wall mount, moving loads within an arc. It suits repetitive lifts at a single workstation. Vovlift carries floor-mounted, wall-mounted, pillar-mounted, and articulating jib cranes from 1/8 ton to 3 ton.

Should you choose a jib crane or a gantry crane?

Choose a jib crane for repetitive lifts at a fixed station where a rotating boom covers your work area. Choose a gantry crane when you need to move loads across an open floor or between areas. Vovlift stocks fixed-height, telescoping, and adjustable aluminum gantries up to 5 ton.

Do you need a foundationless crane?

Foundationless cranes mount to your existing floor without a specially engineered concrete foundation, reducing installation cost and time. Vovlift's FL-Series and FH-Series jib cranes and portable MC-Series models fit facilities where poured foundations aren't practical. Confirm floor requirements on each product page or call +1 (307) 441-5529.

What capacity should you order?

Match capacity to your heaviest load plus the weight of the hoist and any lifting attachments. Vovlift lists capacities from 1/8 ton light-duty jibs to 5 ton gantry and heavy-duty models. Every listing includes a full spec table so you can verify span, height, and rating before buying.
