{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Jib Crane","description":"A jib crane is a fixed or wall-mounted lifting device whose horizontal arm rotates around a vertical axis, positioning loads radially within its defined sweep. It is a standard piece of equipment in warehouses, workshops, manufacturing plants, and quay sections wherever loads must be lifted and transferred repeatedly within a set radius. Unlike gantry or overhead bridge cranes, it does not span large floor areas; its strengths are compact installation, immediate availability, and low maintenance","inDefinedTermSet":{"@type":"DefinedTermSet","name":"Frachtportal Logistics Glossary","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary"},"url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/jib-crane","inLanguage":"en","dateModified":"2026-06-25T11:59:15.309281","citation":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jib_crane","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/glossary/en/jib-crane","provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Frachtportal","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"Jib Crane · A jib crane is a fixed or wall-mounted lifting device whose horizontal arm rotates around a vertical axis, positioning loads radially within its defined sweep. · Quelle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jib_crane"}
