FS300 Foundationless Free Standing Jib Cranes
1/8 Ton to 1 Ton
Foundationless Free Standing Jib Cranes is our most versatile
crane. They are perfect to place underneath large bridge
cranes, in open areas where they can serve several work
stations, in outdoor applications such as loading docks, or in
machining and assembly operations where they can be over-
lapped with other jibs to provide staged operation.		 foundationless i-beam jib cranes
Our Advantage:
Ease of Operation
• Allows operators to position loads precisely, effortlessly
   and efficiently
• Precision tapered roller bearings in top pivot and trunnion
   assemblies provide smooth operation and long life
• Full supporting triangular base plate gussets are used (in
   lieu of struts) to minimize crane deflection, thus making it
   easier to accurately position loads
Ease of Installation
• Independent head assembly, installed separately from the
   boom for easier installation
• Recessed bearing assembly allows greatly reduced
   clearances needed for installation
• Bolted head/boom connection which permits separate
   installation and provides maximum lift for the hoist, since
   it can be installed very close to the underside of the lower
   ceiling obstruction for greater headroom
• Movable bolted trolley stops
• In-head totally enclosed, bottom entry collector assembly
   allows the option of easily adding power to the hoist for
   360° rotation at the time of or after purchase		 Safety
• Head retaining pin provides the resistance to
   accidental upward dislodgement of the head.
Full Rated Capacity
• Pre-engineered for use with powered hoists. A
   factor of 15% of the jib crane capacity is allowed
   for the hoist and trolley weight with an additional
   25% of the capacity allowed for impact, thus giving
   full rated capacity use of the jib
What are the benefits of Foundationless Jib Cranes?
Designed for Performance
Save Money!
Our boxed style head provides benefits from installation
through operation of the jib crane. The design allows for
installation of the head prior to the boom, which reduces
the required installation clearances and allows maximum
hoist lift.
Instaling a poured foundation can be expensive, it can
cost as much or more than the jib crane itself. With
foundationless jib cranes, you eliminate the cost of
pouring a concrete foundation, potentially saving
thousands.
The boxed style head also increases stability versus
common sleeve-over-
pipe designs. The
result is less de-
flection and
bouncing of the
load, which creates
a safer application
with reduced risk
of product damage. 		Save Time!
Poured foundations can take up to a week to cure
before you can install the jib. Now there's no waiting.
Machine downtime can be reduced by not needing
to shut down machines to bringe in special equipment
to install a foundation.
Location Control
It's easy to relocate a jib where there's no poured
foundation. That means more flexibility in choosing
initial jib location. You can place it closer to machines
or other obstructions, because there is no need to a
large square foot area for a concrete pour. If your
operational flow changes, you can easily relocate the
jib fit your changing needs.
Why Our FOUNDATIONLESS JIBS?
More robust standard foundationless offering Optional
baseplate to allow for foundationless installs, even with
some large designs.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
6" Engineered slab greater than or equal to 3000 psi
concrete containing wire mesh reinforcement.
Mounted with chemical anchor bolts and mechanical
grout.
