Project Overview

In August 2025, we received an email inquiry from a steel mill in the Americas regarding a floor mounted slewing jib crane. A mill in Mexico, specializing in iron and steel production, needed a fixed-column cantilever crane for precise material handling in its workshop. The jib crane is easy to install and maintain. Its adaptability and reliability make it essential for optimizing material transfer processes.

Customer Requirements

The American Steel Plant identified the following requirements when selecting a floor mounted slewing jib crane:

1. Flexible installation: The  fixed column jib crane is not dependent on building structures and can be fixed directly to the ground. It is suitable for workshops, warehouses and other places. The foundation requirements are relatively simple and the installation position can be easily adjusted according to the needs of use.
2. Efficient operation: The jib rotates 180°–360° for wide coverage. With electric or manual drive, it quickly lifts, moves, and positions goods, improving short-distance transport efficiency.
3. Load adaptability: Available in capacities from 0.5 to 5 tons, ideal for light to medium-duty applications.The floor mounted  jib crane can transport light materials and lift some heavy equipment.
4. High working level: The floor mounted  jib crane features heavy-duty (A5) or extra heavy-duty (A6) classification to withstand frequent and high-capacity operations.
5. High reliability: Motors and electrical components feature high protection (IP54 or above), making them dustproof and heat-resistant. In addition, key parts like the slewing mechanism are built for exceptional strength and long-term durability.
