Wall Mounted & Pillar Jib Cranes
Jib cranes are available in several configurations to suit your workspace and application. Wall mounted jib cranes are ideal where floor space is limited, offering up to 180 degrees of rotation and fixing directly to an existing structural wall or column. Pillar jib cranes – also known as floor mounted or freestanding jib cranes — provide greater rotation of up to 300 degrees and are suited to open floor areas where a fixed column can be installed. Both options are available in overbraced and underbraced designs depending on headroom and hoist travel requirements.
Jib cranes are designed to provide efficient material handling in various industrial settings. Their key features include:
- Flexible Slewing Range
- Space-Saving Solutions
- Ease of Installation
- Versatile Configurations
Our jib cranes find applications in a wide range of industries and settings, including manufacturing, warehouses, shipping yards and construction sites. Our jib cranes are designed, installed, and operated following all safety guidelines and load capacity limits, ensuring secure material handling operations.

Jib Crane FAQs
What is a jib crane?
A jib crane is a fixed lifting device consisting of a horizontal arm – known as the jib or boom – mounted to a wall, column or floor-fixed pillar. A hoist travels along the arm to lift and position loads within a defined radius, making jib cranes ideal for workstation lifting, machine loading and repetitive handling tasks.
What types of jib crane are available?
The main types are wall mounted jib cranes, pillar jib cranes (floor mounted or freestanding) and column mounted jib cranes. Each suits different workspace layouts and load requirements. Lifting Systems supplies wall mounted and pillar mounted options in overbraced and underbraced configurations, with capacities from 50kg up to 10 tonnes.
How much does a jib crane cost in the UK?
Jib crane pricing varies depending on capacity, jib arm length, mounting type, and whether installation is required. Standard stocked options start from a relatively modest investment, while configurable solutions up to 10 tonnes are available with lead times of 6–8 weeks. Contact us for a quote tailored to your requirements.
What does jib crane installation involve?
Installation typically includes a site survey, structural assessment of the mounting point, crane erection by qualified engineers, and full load testing before the crane is handed over for use. Lifting Systems manages the complete installation process in accordance with LOLER and UK safety regulations.
Do jib cranes need to comply with LOLER?
Yes. All jib cranes used in the workplace in the UK are subject to LOLER – the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998. This requires that lifting equipment is suitable for its intended use, properly installed, and subject to regular thorough examination by a competent person. Lifting Systems ensures every crane we supply and install meets these requirements from day one.
