When a workstation needs repeated overhead lifts in the same spot, the Machining & Welding Cantilever Jib Crane 18 FT Span is built for the job. Its 18 foot span and 4,000 pound capacity put a hoist within reach across the full swing radius.

Because the boom swings freely, operators can pull a load away from a machine and set it down nearby in one continuous motion, cutting cycle time compared to a straight-line hoist.

The mast and boom are fabricated from structural steel and designed to rotate smoothly on a bearing or collar assembly, holding the rated capacity through the full range of rotation.

For single-station lifting, a cantilever jib crane is typically faster to install and less expensive than extending an overhead runway system.

Maintenance departments, fabrication shops, warehouses, and construction crews all rely on equipment in this category to handle lifts that come up again and again. Having the right beam or crane on hand means operators are not left rigging a load with mismatched slings or borrowed hardware, which keeps every lift consistent regardless of who is running it that day.

As with any lifting equipment, never exceed the rated working load limit, and inspect slings, hooks, shackles, and connection points before every use. Confirm compatibility with your hoist, crane, or trolley system before placing an order, and follow your facility's rigging and lockout procedures for every lift. A few minutes spent checking hardware condition and load balance up front is far cheaper than dealing with a dropped or shifted load later, and it keeps your team's daily routine consistent from one job to the next.

Rigging hardware like this sees repeated use, so look for equipment that is properly rated, clearly marked, and traceable to a manufacturer that stands behind its specifications. Keeping documentation on hand for each piece of equipment also makes routine inspections and any future certification requirements easier to manage.

The specifications below cover everything you need to check compatibility with your equipment.
