A jib crane is a type of lifting device that consists of a horizontal arm, known as a jib, which is mounted on a vertical post. This design allows the jib to pivot, enabling it to lift and move heavy loads in various directions. Jib cranes are commonly used in warehouses, construction sites, and manufacturing facilities for tasks such as loading and unloading materials. These cranes can be powered manually or by electric motors, depending on the size and application. They are often used in conjunction with other equipment, such as forklifts and hoists, to enhance efficiency in material handling and improve workplace safety.
