Jib cranes for reliable local lifting and workstation handling
Durham Lifting supplies and installs jib cranes for workshops, warehouses, production areas and industrial workstations, including wall-mounted jib cranes, column-mounted jib cranes and bespoke jib crane solutions.
Choosing the right jib crane for your working area.
Jib cranes are a practical lifting solution for individual workstations, loading points, machine feeding, assembly areas and repetitive local lifting tasks where safe and efficient load handling is required.
Column Mounted Jib Cranes
Column-mounted, also known as pillar jib cranes, are suited to open work areas where a freestanding lifting point is required without relying on wall or building support.
Wall Mounted Jib Cranes
Wall-mounted jib cranes are ideal for individual workstations and areas where floor space is limited but controlled lifting coverage is still required.
Bespoke Jib Cranes
Custom jib crane solutions can be supplied for specific lifting applications, unusual work areas, restricted layouts or specialist handling requirements.
Every jib crane starts with the way the load needs to move.
Selecting the right jib crane depends on the load, outreach, rotation, available structure, floor space, headroom and the way operators need to work around the lifting area.
Durham Lifting can help assess your requirement and advise whether a wall-mounted, column-mounted, manual rotation, electric rotation or bespoke jib crane arrangement is the best fit for your site.
Jib crane systems for different site layouts.
From compact workstations to larger production areas, jib cranes provide controlled lifting coverage exactly where it is needed.
Column Mounted Jib Cranes
Ideal where a freestanding lifting point is required. Column-mounted jib cranes can provide wide slewing coverage and are commonly used in workshops, manufacturing facilities and warehouses.
Wall Mounted Jib Cranes
Designed for areas where floor space is restricted. Wall-mounted jib cranes provide efficient local lifting coverage from an existing wall or supporting structure.
From lifting requirement to installed jib crane.
Durham Lifting supports jib crane projects from initial enquiry through to specification, supply, installation and ongoing service support.

Jib crane questions answered.
What is a jib crane?
A jib crane is a local lifting crane with a horizontal arm, or jib, that supports a hoist and trolley. It is commonly used for workstation lifting, machine loading, production areas and repetitive handling tasks.
What is the difference between a wall-mounted and column-mounted jib crane?
A wall-mounted jib crane is fixed to a suitable wall or support structure, helping save floor space. A column-mounted jib crane is freestanding and fixed to the floor, making it suitable where wall support is not available or where wider slewing coverage is required.
What lifting capacity can jib cranes handle?
Durham Lifting’s standard jib crane range includes lifting capacities up to 10,000kg, depending on the crane type, arm length, support structure and application.
Can jib cranes be manually or electrically rotated?
Yes. Jib cranes can be supplied with manual or electric rotation depending on the lifting duty, load size, frequency of use and operator requirements.
Do jib cranes need LOLER inspection?
Yes. Jib cranes are lifting equipment and must be inspected and maintained in line with LOLER and PUWER requirements.
