The cantilever design utilises both partial and full booms, ensuring it is a great option for maximising clearance in factories with multiple overhead obstructions.
Floor-Mounted
Known as a free-standing jib crane, they are installed directly into the foundation of your facility and can be overbraced or underbraced.

Jib Crane FAQs
What is a jib crane, and how do they operate?
A jib crane is a type of overhead crane designed to lift and move heavy loads within a designated area. They are equipped with a horizontal arm (known as a jib) that swivels up to 360° and hoists, allowing materials or goods to be moved within its reach. Great for heavy or awkward loads that a person cannot manually lift or move.
What are the mounting options?
There are two mounting options: Floor (free-standing) or wall-mounted installations.
Both have their merits; however, floor-mounted jib cranes are the most popular choice. A floor-mounted jib crane offers more flexibility and operates up to 360° arm rotation, ensuring greater access for manoeuvring materials.
Jib crane or workstation bridge crane?
This is dependent on your specific lifting requirements and applications. A Met-Track® jib crane is ideal for high-traffic, small areas, whereas a Met-Track® is preferable for large factory floors or warehouses.
