What is the difference between a jib crane and a gantry crane?

A jib crane mounts to a floor, wall, or column and rotates a load through an arc over a fixed area. A gantry crane is freestanding on wheels, so it rolls to the load and works anywhere with clearance. Jibs suit permanent workstations; gantries suit portable, multi-bay lifting.

What capacity crane or hoist do I need?

Match capacity to your heaviest expected load plus a safety margin. This collection ranges from fractional-ton hoists and 1/8-ton jib cranes up to 10-ton three-phase hoists and 5-ton gantry cranes. Confirm your load weight, lift height, and span, then call +1 (307) 441-5529 for sizing help.

Do I need a trolley with an electric chain hoist?

You need a trolley only if the load must travel horizontally along a beam. A top-hook hoist lifts in a fixed spot, while a hoist-plus-trolley package moves loads across a runway or gantry. Bison Lifting offers both configurations, plus standalone motorized trolleys for existing hoists.

Cranes & Hoists

Lift, position, and move heavy loads across your shop floor or work cell — Vovlift's Cranes & Hoists collection spans articulating and floor-mounted jib cranes, portable and fixed gantry cranes, and single- and three-phase electric chain hoists from Bison Lifting, All Lift Cranes, and Abaco Machines. Capacities run from fractional-ton hoists up to 10-ton three-phase units, matched to workshop, fabrication, and industrial duty cycles.

✓ Jib, gantry, and hoist options for fixed or mobile lifting · ✓ Capacities to 10 tons · ✓ Manufacturer warranty & insured LTL freight · ✓ Sizing help: +1 (307) 441-5529

How to Choose a Crane or Hoist

The right lifting setup depends on whether you need a permanent workstation, a mobile lift you can roll between bays, or a standalone hoist to add to an existing structure. Below we compare the main types in this collection so you can match capacity, mounting, and power to your workflow.

Jib crane or gantry crane?

Choose a jib crane for a fixed workstation that rotates a load over a set radius — floor-mounted, wall-mounted, foundationless, and articulating models are available here. Choose a gantry crane when you need portability: telescoping, adjustable-height aluminum, and fixed-height A-frame gantries roll to the load and set up without permanent installation.

Single-phase or three-phase electric hoist?

Single-phase hoists suit shops on standard building power and lighter, intermittent lifts, with models up to 5 tons in this collection. Three-phase hoists handle heavier and higher-cycle work up to 10 tons, and dual-speed versions add precise load spotting. Add a plain or motorized trolley to travel loads along a beam.
