1,000Kgs SWL Free Standing Jib Crane c/w Electric Hoist - Over Braced

This over-braced version of the jib crane is manufactured to order based on customer specifications. Choose from various options in arm length (2m - 6m) and column height (2m - 6m), with a 270° slew range. All Ultimate Lifting Solutions over-braced jib cranes are fully tested and certified. The 1,000kg capacity, floor-mountable over-braced jib cranes come complete with an industrial-quality electric chain hoist. Manufactured to order, these cranes can be selected from our standard range below or customised as needed. Despite being made to order, our delivery times are just a few weeks—faster than most competitors. Our installation team is available to install the jib crane and hoist anywhere in the UK if required.

The crane’s lightweight profile features a track and trolley design, supplied as a simple two-part kit. Part 1 is the slewing arm on which the electric hoist moves, and Part 2 is the column with a base plate that the arm attaches to. Both the arm and column can be manufactured to any length between 2m and 6m, and the arm’s 270° slew range provides a wide working area. The arm is pre-fitted with a trolley, simplifying connection to your hoist.

Ordering is easy: simply choose the desired lift height for the electric hoist and add the items to your basket. If you need help selecting the right free-standing jib crane with electric hoist, please contact our sales team for assistance.

Full Electric Supply Kit
If you add this to your order, everything required for installation is included. The kit features a main isolator, a power supply cable for the hoist (cut to the appropriate length for the selected arm), and cable trolleys to keep the setup tidy.

Why Choose a 1,000Kgs SWL Free Standing Jib Crane c/w Electric Hoist - Over Braced?

There are many advantages to purchasing an over-braced, free-standing jib crane. These cranes are highly versatile in a factory setting, speeding up the lifting and moving of components off presses or workbenches and simplifying the loading and unloading of lorries. They’re ideal for handling heavy objects such as granite, timber, or steel. A jib crane comprises two main parts: the pillar and the arm. This straightforward design means that a manual jib crane has few parts to maintain, making it highly reliable, with minimal risk of breakdown and no loss in production time.

Easy to Install

Over-braced, floor-mounted jib cranes come with a pre-drilled base plate, ready for easy installation. Simply bolt the base plate to a suitable floor. (Be sure to confirm that your floor is appropriate for a jib crane installation—consult a structural engineer if needed.) ULS Lifting will arrange for the manufacture of the jib crane and, upon delivery to the site, all that’s required is to drill and secure the floor-mounting plate. Ultimate Lifting Solutions also offers professional installation through our team of highly trained engineers.

Cost-Effective and Low Maintenance

Thanks to their simple design, jib cranes are more affordable to purchase and maintain compared to other cranes. Under normal working conditions, they only require industry-standard annual servicing. Ultimate Lifting Solutions offers maintenance and service packages tailored to meet your needs.

How Does a Swing Jib Crane Work?

A standard, floor-mounted swing jib crane has two main parts: the pillar and the arm. The arm rotates both left and right, with a standard swing (or slew) angle of 270°. Our swing jibs, with lifting capacities up to 1,000kgs, are designed to rotate smoothly without the need for powered assistance, keeping operational costs low. Each arm is fitted with a trolley that moves the length of the arm, giving you the reach and flexibility to access the corners of your workspace with ease.

Installation Process

As mentioned, the 1,000Kgs SWL Free Standing Jib Crane with an electric hoist and over-braced design is straightforward to install. Once the hoist is attached, all that remains is commissioning, testing, and certifying the jib as safe to use. Customers are welcome to handle their own installation, or we can provide our expert engineers to manage the entire setup. We install the jib and hoist, perform commissioning and testing, and ensure everything is fully operational and safe before leaving the site.
