Gorbel's AL100 Aluminum Tie Rod Jib Crane is the easiest to move wall mounted jib crane. The aluminum enclosed track makes the AL100 40% easier to move than a comparable I-Beam Jib
These jib cranes are designed to provide coverage in individual works cells or bays, either along a wall or on columns in a plant. They can be used on their own or to supplement overhead cranes or monorail systems. The light duty low cost of the Workstation jibs can even be mounted directly to machines to allow easy removal of parts or changing of dies.
Workstation Jib cranes feature an enclosed track for the boom assembly, which reduces dead weight for easier rotation when compared to traditional I-beam jib cranes.
The AL100 also includes the trolley for the enclosed track saving you the cost of buying a separate hoist trolley.
Two important requirements must be met before installing the Wall Bracket Series:
- A structurally adequate wall or column to support the jib crane must exist.
- Sufficient clearance above the jib crane throughout its arc to accommodate the boom must exist.

Jib cranes are the most cost effective and versatile type of lifting equipment. They are great for use in production lines to keep machining cells, workstations and warehouse production moving. Jib cranes also work well to aid larger overhead crane systems. Jib cranes are easy to install and cost effective, with less structural limitations than other material handling options.
Follow these basic guidelines to help you choose the correct jib crane for your application:
Capacity: Choose a capacity that is right for current and future lifting needs. Most of the available options at JibCranes.com, up to 5 tons, include a 15% allowance for the hoisting equipment. This allows for full use of the rated jib crane capacity.
Span: Choose a span that is adequate to cover the full work area. Keep in mind that hoist and trolley selection may reduce the end approach, limiting hook coverage and requiring a move to a larger span.
Hook Height: The hook height is the height needed to lift your material. This measurement is equal to height under boom minus the headroom of the hoist and trolley.
Rotation: Jib cranes, depending on their design, have between 180° and 360° of rotation. Be sure that the area of installation is free of obstructions throughout the full range of rotation. Rotation stops are available upon request to limit the range of rotation.
Supporting Structure: When selecting a jib crane be sure to take into consideration the supporting structure. Building structures must be able to support the forces of the jib crane and load. Please, consult with your building designer or an engineer if uncertain of the adequacy of supporting structures. Also, keep in mind that the foundation requirements of freestanding jib cranes will add additional costs.
