Running Jib Crane
The Running Jib Crane, manufactured by Chunhua Crane (Hefei Chunhua Hoisting Machinery, China, founded 2003), is a purpose-engineered light lifting solution designed for industrial environments requiring efficient, repetitive material handling within a fixed work cell. As a class of light-duty industrial equipment, this crane consists of a robust column, a rotating jib arm, a slewing drive unit, and an electric hoist, offering a combination of low deadweight, generous span, and significant lifting capacity. Its primary strength lies in its ability to provide precise, localized lifting coverage without the structural demands or cost of a full overhead bridge crane, making it an economical and durable choice for workshops, assembly lines, and loading bays.
Technically, the Running Jib Crane is fully customizable to project-specific requirements, with capacity, span, and lifting height all determined by the buyer’s operational needs. The structure features a hollow-section steel jib arm, which minimizes self-weight while maximizing span and payload. The column is anchored to a concrete foundation via heavy-duty anchor bolts, ensuring stability under load. The slewing mechanism employs a cycloidal pinwheel reducer for smooth, controlled rotation of the jib, while the electric hoist travels laterally along the jib’s I-beam rail, enabling precise load positioning. The internal travel mechanism utilizes specialized engineering plastic wheels with sealed rolling bearings, reducing rolling friction for effortless movement and compact structural dimensions that maximize hook travel. Electrical systems are built around industry-standard components, with Schneider or Siemens control panels available as optional upgrades. Control options include cabin operation, wireless remote control, or pendant station, depending on the application’s ergonomic and safety requirements. Standard safety devices include overload limiters, emergency stop functions, and travel limit switches. Optional features may include variable frequency drives for soft start/stop, anti-collision systems, or corrosion-resistant coatings for harsh environments. The crane is designed and manufactured in accordance with GB/T crane standards, with certification options including CE and CCC, and can be engineered to meet FEM, DIN, or CMAA norms upon request.

This crane serves a wide range of industrial sectors where repetitive, localized lifting is critical. Typical applications include steel mills for handling billets and molds, ports and shipyards for loading cargo and servicing equipment, warehouses for organizing heavy pallets and machinery, automotive assembly lines for positioning engines and transmissions, construction sites for moving prefabricated components, and maintenance workshops for servicing large rotating equipment such as turbines and pumps. Its compact footprint and ability to cover a circular work area make it particularly valuable in facilities where overhead space is limited or where a full crane runway is not justified.
Buying directly from Chunhua Crane offers significant commercial advantages. As an original manufacturer with in-house engineering and production since 2003, we provide direct factory pricing typically 30 to 50 percent below equivalent European brands, without compromising on quality or safety. All cranes are built to order with full customization, and our engineering team delivers a detailed CAD layout within four hours of receiving your inquiry. We have exported to over 60 countries via sea freight, with a proven logistics network that ensures timely delivery. Compliance documentation, including CE and CCC certificates, is provided with every shipment, and we can adapt the design to meet local regulatory standards such as FEM, DIN, or CMAA.
The ordering process is straightforward and efficient. To begin, send your project specifications via WhatsApp or email to our sales engineering team. We will respond within four hours with a firm quotation and a preliminary CAD drawing showing the crane’s integration into your facility. Once the order is confirmed, a 30 percent deposit via T/T is required to initiate production. Manufacturing typically takes 30 to 45 days, after which the remaining balance is due prior to sea freight shipment. We can also arrange optional on-site installation and commissioning support through our network of local service partners, ensuring your crane is operational from day one.
