An articulating free standing jib crane provides safe and flexible lifting within a dedicated work area. Its self-supporting design does not rely on existing building steel, making it a practical solution for improving material handling and workplace safety. With two jib arms and an intermediate pivot, it offers 260° + 260° articulation for excellent manoeuvrability, making it ideal for reaching around obstacles and positioning loads in tight or complex spaces.
PRODUCT DETAILS
All About - JCARFS
Levitate’s Free Standing Articulating Jib Crane is designed for applications that require light-capacity lifting with precise manual movement and accurate load positioning within a dedicated work area. With capacity options from 50kg up to 250kg, this crane is ideal for handling lighter loads where flexibility, control, and ease of operation are more important than heavy lifting capacity. The articulating design features two jib arms, allowing the crane to manoeuvre around obstacles and service areas that may be difficult to reach with a conventional single-arm jib crane. The dual-arm arrangement provides 260° + 260° slew, giving the operator excellent coverage and making it easier to position loads exactly where needed. This makes it well suited to workstations, assembly areas, maintenance tasks, and other applications where smooth manual handling is required. This style of jib crane can be tailored to suit site requirements, with various outreach options and a maximum height to the underside of the arm of 4,000mm. It can also be supplied for indoor or outdoor use, depending on the installation environment. To suit different site conditions, the crane can be mounted using a base plate fixed to a suitable concrete foundation or connected to an engineered steel support structure, subject to site suitability. Levitate can supply the crane complete with a suitable manual or electric hoist, depending on the application and operational preference.

ANCHOR OPTIONS
Existing Slab
In many applications, a jib crane can be mounted directly onto an existing factory slab, making installation simpler and more cost-effective. For standard industrial sites, this is often a practical option for smaller to medium-capacity cranes.
Our team can guide you on the typical slab and anchoring requirements for the jib crane selected, helping ensure a smooth path from design to installation.
Foundation
Where the existing slab is not suitable, or where the jib crane is to be installed in an area without a slab, an independent concrete foundation may be required. This can allow the crane to be installed in a wider range of locations while ensuring adequate support for the application.
Our team can assist by advising on the typical foundation requirements for the selected jib crane.
Steel Structure
Where the jib crane is to be mounted onto a steel structure, the base plate can be tailored to suit site requirements. This provides greater flexibility where floor mounting is not preferred or practical, subject to the supporting steel structure being suitable for the loads imposed by the crane.
ACCESSORIES
Adjustable Slew Stop
Our adjustable slew stop can be fitted to Levitate jib cranes to limit arm rotation and suit site-specific operating requirements.
It is easy to install and can be set in 25° increments, helping improve control, protect surrounding equipment, and restrict crane movement to the required working area.
Radio Remote
An optional radio remote control is available for our jib cranes, allowing the operator to control crane movements from a convenient position. It is a practical upgrade that improves ease of use, operator control, and site flexibility.
End Stop
Levitate's universal beam end stop is designed to be fitted to any jib arm to restrict trolley traverse where required. It provides a practical way to control trolley movement, protect the end of the beam, and suit site-specific operating requirements.
