What is a floor-mounted slewing jib crane?
A jib crane is equipped with an electric chain hoist or electric wire rope hoist at one end of its slewing jib for lifting goods or workpieces. A counterweight is installed at the other end, which slews together with the jib arm to maintain balance. This lifting equipment features a simple structure, easy operation, high flexibility, a large working space and a wide range of applications.
It is widely suitable for short-distance and frequent material handling in fixed locations such as production lines and assembly lines in factory workshops, warehouses and docks.
The Henan Mine floor-mounted slewing jib crane is fixed to the ground foundation with an independent vertical column. The jib can slew within a specified angular range (typically 180°~360°), and it is specially designed for frequent lifting operations within a fixed working area.
Many production workshops feature individual workstations that require localized rotating lifting operations. Wall-mounted jib cranes are constrained by factory building walls, while overhead bridge cranes incur high costs for small-range hoisting. The Henan Mine floor-mounted slewing jib crane, also known as a pillar jib crane, solves this problem perfectly. The equipment base is firmly fixed to the ground, enabling flexible slewing hoisting without relying on factory walls or roof steel beams. As a pillar-type slewing jib lifting device, the Henan Mine floor-mounted slewing jib crane boasts a stable base and flexible 360-degree slewing capability, making it ideal for material handling at single workstations.
Core Advantages of Henan Mine Floor-Mounted Slewing Jib Crane
Independent fixed foundation, not relying on the main building structure
It is installed on the concrete floor using anchor bolts, requiring no load-bearing walls or top steel beams. It is suitable for newly built workshops, outdoor material yards, and renovated factory buildings with weak building load-bearing capacity.
Flexible selection of rotation angle
180°, 270° or 360° rotation can be selected according to the on-site layout. Operators can freely handle work pieces within the coverage radius, which greatly improves the material transfer efficiency of a single workstation.
Strong structural stability and long service life
Adopt optimized welded box-type cantilever and thickened base plate; strict stress calculation is conducted before production with anti-deformation design equipped to support daily continuous operation. Anti-rust coating is sprayed on the surface for indoor working conditions, and outdoor anti-corrosion coating is available as an option.
Multiple hoists and control schemes are available
Can be matched with electric chain hoists, wire rope hoists and manual hoists; control modes include wired pendant buttons and wireless remote controllers; explosion-proof versions can be customized, suitable for chemical plants and painting workshops.
Easy to install and low maintenance cost
Integrated assembly design enables fast on-site installation. Well-known brand accessories are adopted for core components, featuring low failure rate and convenient daily inspection and maintenance.

FAQs
Q: Does a floor-mounted slewing jib crane require a special concrete foundation?
A: For standard small-tonnage models, a conventional reinforced concrete floor is sufficient. For large-tonnage or long-jib models, we will provide foundation drawings for the constructor.
Q: What information do I need to provide to get an official quotation?
A: Lifting capacity, effective jib length, lifting height, slewing angle, indoor or outdoor application, power supply, and special requirements such as explosion protection. Site photos are helpful for our engineering design.
Q: Can I choose manual slewing or electric slewing?
A: Both types are available. Manual slewing offers better cost performance for light-load working conditions; electric slewing is recommended for large-tonnage and high-frequency operations.
