Portable jib cranes mean that a single person is able to move a relatively large amount of material within a limited area quite quickly without having to tie up expensive resources such as a forklift truck for lengthy periods of time.

Simple and Elegant by Design

The simple and elegant design of a portable jib crane is entirely functional, with great consideration given to making it completely stable in use without having to be secured into place. Easy Rack offers a variety of these jibs, but their design and function is the same. I essence, a large metal box filled with concrete is attached to a post up to 10 feet tall that has a jib and lifting equipment attached to it. The jib is able to rotate freely and lift weights of up to 1,000 pounds without tipping over thanks to the weight of the base.

The portable jib cranes are made to the highest standard possible, and feature all the latest safety thinking in their design as standard. The post and jib are made from high quality steel with cast bolts for additional strength. The whole crane is powder coated for a more hard wearing finish, and the crane can rotate a full 360 degrees with a touch, but is always under control.

The base of the portable jib crane features standard size forklift tubes, meaning that it will slot onto a regular forklift for transporting around the workplace to wherever it is needed next, and setting up only requires the forks to be withdrawn. The crane is practically ready as soon as it is on the ground.

Easy to operate, simple to move, and completely reliable thanks to its straightforward design, these cranes have many uses and will be in constant demand.
