What it is

A jib crane lifts with a hoist running on a horizontal arm that slews around a pillar or a wall bracket. It serves a circle around a machine, a workstation or a loading point without tying up the main overhead crane – and heavy outdoor jibs on quays can load boats and trucks.

Duty group

Vietnam: cranes are designed, manufactured and inspected to TCVN 4244:2005 and the lifting-equipment safety regulation QCVN 07:2012/BLĐTBXH, with technical inspection before use.
