Spot lifting at the workstation without giving up floor space — the arm bolts to your wall or column and slews 180° over the work. We calculate what that puts into your structure before you order.
A wall-mounted jib crane is a slewing arm fixed to a wall or a building column, with a hoist running along it. Because it has no pillar, it takes no floor space at all. The arm slews about 180°, covering the work in front of the wall it is mounted on.
Type routing
The decision is usually made by the floor rather than by the lift.
A pillar jib stands on its own foundation and slews 270°, or a full circle where it travels, so it covers work all around itself. It needs a concrete foundation and it occupies the spot it stands on for the life of the building.
A wall jib gives up the rear half of that circle and gets the floor back. It slews 180°, so it serves the strip in front of its wall — a machine, a bench, a loading position beside an aisle. Where the traffic pattern already runs along a wall, that half circle is the half you were going to use anyway.
There is a third case worth knowing about: if the work runs the whole length of the wall rather than sitting at one point, the arm can be put on a runway and travel along it. That is a wall-travelling (console) jib crane.
Type routing
This is the question that decides whether a wall jib is possible, and it is worth putting before the crane specification rather than after it.
An arm fixed to a wall and loaded at its far end puts two things into the structure: a vertical load, and a bending moment that grows with the reach. A 3 m arm and a 7 m arm carrying the same load are different problems for your building. So the honest sequence is: reach and capacity first, structural loads calculated from them, and only then a decision about the fixing.
We calculate the load and moment transferred into your column or wall for your configuration and issue them with the quotation, so your structural engineer can verify the fixing before anything is ordered. Where the existing structure will not take it, that is better known at quotation stage than at installation.

Technical data
Read each value with its consequence — that is how the crane is actually sized for your workstation.
Our jib crane family covers 250 kg to 5 tonnes on a wire rope hoist, and the wall-mounted type sits in the same selection table at 180° slewing. What your own wall will carry is confirmed per project, because the bracket puts its load into your structure rather than into a foundation. Arm reach runs from 2.5 to 5 metres, and reach is the value that drives everything else — it sets the working circle, the loads into your structure and how the crane feels to swing by hand. Wall-mounted units slew 180°.
| Criterion | Wall-mounted jib crane | Pillar (column) jib crane |

| Slewing angle | 180° | 270°, or n×360° on a travelling column |
| Coverage | The strip in front of its wall | A full working circle around itself |
| Foundation | None — fixed to wall or column | Concrete foundation with anchor layout |
| What has to be checked first | Load and moment into the wall or column | Foundation loads and concrete class |
| Typical reason to choose | Floor must stay clear; work sits along a wall | Work is all around one point; no wall available |

Equipment
Each option answers a specific problem, not a feature list:
Sized to the load and the duty the station actually runs, not to the top of the range. See hoists.
A manual arm is pushed by the operator and is right for short reaches and occasional use; motorised slewing earns its place on long arms, heavy loads or repeated cycles.
Soft starts and stops, so the load does not swing when it stops.
An overload switch and load cell come as standard, so the crane refuses a lift beyond its rating.
Pendant push-button or radio remote, depending on where the operator needs to stand.
Set by your building; the arm profile and mounting height are chosen so the hook clears the work at full reach.
Applications
Wall jibs earn their place where the lifting is local and the floor is busy. Machining and manufacturing areas use them to load and unload a single machine without a forklift crossing the aisle. Assembly lines use them at a station where parts are lifted into a fixture. Warehouses and workshops use them beside a door or a loading position where a pillar would block the traffic. And in a building that already has an overhead crane, a wall jib handles the small, frequent lifts so the main crane is not tied up on them.
Project process
(load, reach needed, what the arm is fixing to, how often it is used) → 2. Engineering & quotation (we confirm the reach, the hoist and the duty class, and issue the loads your structure has to carry) → 3. Manufacturing & installation (the arm and bracket are built in our own plant, then installed and load-tested on site) → 4. Maintenance & service (scheduled maintenance under an annual contract, spare parts and modernisation).

FAQ
A pillar jib stands on its own foundation and slews 270°, or a full circle where it travels, so it covers work all around itself. A wall jib is fixed to a wall or a building column, slews 180° and takes no floor space at all. Where the work sits along a wall and the floor has to stay clear, the wall version is usually the better fit.
Our jib crane family covers 250 kg to 5 tonnes on a wire rope hoist, with an arm reach of 2.5 to 5 metres. The combination that works on your wall depends on what the structure can carry, which we calculate for your configuration.
It puts a vertical load and a bending moment into the wall or column it is fixed to, and the moment grows with the reach — a 7 m arm is a very different case from a 3 m one at the same capacity. We calculate the load and moment for your configuration and issue them with the quotation, so your structural engineer can verify the fixing before anything is ordered.
Yes, and that is one of the common reasons to fit one. The wall jib handles the small, frequent lifts at a station while the overhead crane stays free for the work that actually needs it. The clearances between the two are checked at the design stage so the arm and the bridge never contest the same space.
