By Henan Mine Crane Co., Ltd. — Professional Lifting Equipment Manufacturer Since 1984
In today's competitive manufacturing landscape, maximizing floor space while maintaining efficient material handling is a top priority for factories and warehouses worldwide. A wall mounted jib crane offers an elegant, cost-effective solution by utilizing existing wall or column structures to deliver reliable lifting capacity exactly where you need it. As one of China's leading crane manufacturers, Henan Mine Crane Co., Ltd. has supplied thousands of wall mounted jib cranes to over 130 countries, helping businesses boost productivity while saving valuable workspace.
What Is a Wall Mounted Jib Crane?
A wall mounted jib crane, also known as a wall bracket crane or wall cantilever jib crane, is a stationary lifting device fixed directly to a building wall, concrete column, or steel structure. It consists of a horizontal boom (jib) that pivots around a vertical axis, allowing an electric chain hoist or wire rope hoist to travel along the boom and cover a semicircular (typically 180° to 270°) working area.
Unlike free-standing jib cranes that require a dedicated floor-mounted foundation, wall mounted models eliminate the need for ground space entirely — making them ideal for workstations, assembly lines, machining centers, and maintenance bays where floor real estate is at a premium.

Top 6 Advantages of Wall Mounted Jib Cranes
- Zero Floor Space Occupation: By mounting directly to walls or columns, these cranes free up valuable floor space for production, storage, and worker movement — no foundation pit required.
- Cost-Effective Installation: No need for costly concrete foundations or structural steel support columns. Installation is faster and more affordable compared to free-standing or overhead crane systems.
- Precision Material Handling: With smooth electric rotation and variable-speed hoists, operators can position loads with millimeter-level accuracy, reducing product damage and improving assembly quality.
- Improved Workplace Safety: Eliminates manual lifting and reduces forklift traffic in congested areas. Built-in overload limiters, emergency stops, and rotation limit switches ensure safe operation.
- Enhanced Productivity: Workers can lift, move, and position materials in seconds without waiting for shared overhead cranes or forklifts — ideal for high-frequency, short-distance lifting tasks.
- Low Maintenance & Long Service Life: Constructed from high-quality Q235B/Q345B steel with anti-corrosion painting, our cranes require minimal maintenance and deliver over 20 years of reliable service.
Common Applications & Industries
Wall mounted jib cranes are versatile workhorses used across a wide range of industries. Typical applications include:
- Machining & metalworking workshops — loading/unloading CNC machines and lathes
- Automotive assembly lines — engine and component lifting at workstations
- Warehouses & logistics — order picking, packing, and loading bay operations
- Mold & die shops — heavy mold handling for injection molding and stamping presses
- Mining & mineral processing — equipment maintenance and parts handling
- Chemical & petrochemical plants — ATEX/IECEx explosion-proof options available
- Power plants & shipyards — maintenance lifting in confined spaces
- Food & beverage production — stainless steel options for hygienic environments
How to Select the Right Wall Mounted Jib Crane
Choosing the correct wall mounted jib crane requires careful consideration of several key factors. Our engineering team at Henan Mine recommends evaluating the following:
- Lifting Capacity: Determine the maximum load you need to lift, including slings and attachments. Always select a crane with a rated capacity 20–30% above your typical load for safety margin.
- Working Radius: Measure the horizontal distance from the mounting wall to the farthest point you need to reach. Ensure the jib length covers your entire work area.
- Lifting Height: Calculate the required vertical travel from the hook's lowest to highest position, accounting for ceiling height and any overhead obstructions.
- Rotation Requirement: Standard 180° rotation suits most wall-mounted applications. If you need wider coverage, consider a 270° model or a free-standing jib crane for full 360°.
- Mounting Structure: The supporting wall or column must be structurally capable of handling the crane's dead load plus live load. Our engineers provide structural load calculations and reinforcement guidance.
- Environment & Duty Cycle: For outdoor, corrosive, or explosive environments, specify weatherproof, galvanized, or ATEX-rated configurations accordingly.
Installation & Maintenance Guide
Installation
Professional installation ensures optimal performance and safety. Henan Mine provides detailed installation manuals and can dispatch engineers for on-site supervision. Key installation steps include:
- Structural assessment of the mounting wall/column by a qualified engineer
- Drilling anchor bolt holes and installing high-strength chemical anchors
- Mounting the pivot bracket and ensuring vertical alignment (tolerance ≤ 1/1000)
- Assembling the jib boom and installing the hoist trolley
- Electrical wiring and connection to the main power supply
- Load testing at 125% rated capacity and commissioning
Maintenance
Regular maintenance extends service life and prevents unexpected downtime. We recommend:
- Daily: Visual inspection of hooks, wire ropes/chain, and limit switches before operation
- Monthly: Check bolt torque, lubricate rotation bearing and trolley wheels
- Quarterly: Inspect electrical components, brake system, and paint condition
- Annually: Full load test, NDT inspection of welds, and certification by a qualified inspector

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the maximum lifting capacity of a wall mounted jib crane?
Henan Mine's standard wall mounted jib cranes range from 0.25 tons to 10 tons. For special applications, we can customize units up to 16 tons, subject to structural evaluation of the mounting wall or column. The most popular capacities are 1t, 2t, 3t, and 5t for general workshop use.
Can a wall mounted jib crane rotate a full 360 degrees?
Wall mounted jib cranes typically offer 180° to 270° rotation because the mounting wall physically blocks the remaining arc. If you require full 360° rotation, we recommend our free-standing (pillar) jib crane or a wall traveling jib crane instead. Our engineers can help you select the best configuration for your workspace.
What kind of wall or column structure is required for installation?
The mounting structure must be a load-bearing concrete wall (minimum 200mm thick), reinforced concrete column, or steel H-column capable of withstanding the crane's vertical and horizontal reaction forces. Our team provides detailed load calculations and, if needed, structural reinforcement drawings. Non-load-bearing partition walls are not suitable.
How long does installation take, and do you provide installation service?
A standard wall mounted jib crane can be installed in 1–3 days by a qualified team, including structural preparation, mechanical assembly, electrical wiring, and load testing. Henan Mine offers optional on-site installation supervision or turnkey installation by our engineers, along with multilingual installation manuals and video guidance for self-installation.
Do you offer OEM/ODM services and what is the warranty period?
Yes, we provide full OEM/ODM services — including custom branding, colors, nameplates, and packaging to support distributors and trading companies worldwide. All Henan Mine wall mounted jib cranes come with a standard 2-year warranty (extendable), lifetime technical support, and readily available spare parts. We also offer exclusive distributor agreements with marketing support and competitive pricing tiers.
