Jib crane is a type of crane that consists of a horizontal beam supported by a vertical mast or column, and is used to move objects horizontally. It can rotate around the vertical axis and be moved along the horizontal beam. It is typically used in industrial settings to transport heavy loads, such as part assemblies in factories or parts in warehouses.
There are four main types of jib cranes: wall mounted, floor-mounted, wall travelling, and portable jib crane.
