FAQ's
A swing jib crane is a type of lifting device that consists of a horizontal arm (jib) mounted to a wall or freestanding pillar. The arm rotates to allow operators to lift and move loads safely within a designated working area.
The installation time depends on the size, location, and complexity of the equipment. Most swing jib installations can be completed within one to two days, including testing and commissioning.
Yes. Load testing is recommended following installation to verify that the swing jib crane can safely handle its rated capacity and operates in accordance with manufacturer specifications and relevant safety standards.
Yes. Following installation, the crane should undergo commissioning and operational testing to ensure all components function correctly and safely before being put into service.
We install a wide range of lifting solutions, including wall-mounted swing jibs, pillar-mounted swing jibs, articulating jib cranes, freestanding jib cranes, and associated hoists and lifting equipment.
Newly installed lifting equipment should be thoroughly examined before first use unless it has been supplied with a valid Declaration of Conformity and installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. We can advise on your specific compliance requirements.
Yes. Existing swing jib cranes can often be dismantled, relocated, reinstalled, and tested. A site survey is typically recommended to assess the new installation location and structural requirements.
Inspection frequency depends on usage and risk assessment. Under LOLER, lifting equipment used for lifting loads should generally be thoroughly examined at regular intervals to ensure ongoing safety and compliance.
Swing jib cranes are commonly used in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, engineering workshops, automotive plants, logistics centres, aerospace facilities, and construction environments.
Yes. Our engineers provide swing jib installation, testing, commissioning, and certification services throughout the UK.
Commissioning typically includes installation checks, operational testing, load testing where required, verification of safety features, and the provision of relevant certification and documentation.
Yes. In addition to installation and testing, we can provide planned maintenance, inspections, repairs, and support to help maximise the lifespan and reliability of your lifting equipment.
The correct swing jib crane depends on factors such as load capacity, lifting height, available space, rotation requirements, and operational demands. A site survey can help identify the most suitable solution for your application.
Not always. The supporting structure must be capable of safely carrying the crane's operational loads. Structural assessments may be required before installation to confirm suitability.
Professional installation helps ensure your equipment is fitted correctly, operates safely, complies with relevant regulations, and delivers long-term reliability and performance.
