The concept of cantilever crane

Jib crane is a small and medium-sized lifting equipment, usually composed of a column, a slewing arm, a slewing mechanism and an electric hoist. Its characteristics are that the boom can rotate and the electric hoist runs along the boom, which is suitable for short-distance and frequent lifting operations.
