02 .MOTIVATION
Jib Cranes are industrial machines which mostly uses for materials movements in
construction of buildings, production halls, assembly lines, storage areas, and
power plants. The design features of jib crane vary widely according to their major
operational and manufacturing specifications such as: crane structure according to
motion, weight and type of the load, crane location, geometric features, and
environmental conditions. However, a review of the available literature tells that
technical design of jib cranes are highly saturated and standardized in many
industrial companies and organizations independent of the jib crane type.
Consideration of the available technology that is mainly based on the accumulated
previous experience is important for better performance, higher safety and more
reliable designs. It is well known that generic features of jib crane components are
similar for various different types of cranes. Since the jib crane design procedures
are highly standardized with these components, main effort and time spent in jib
crane design projects are mostly for interpretation and implementation of the
available design. In the initial stage the project overview and scope of project is
analyzed. Further on the literature based on the current design is reviewed.

03 .OBJECTIVE

In this project we are designing jib crane for press industries for loading tools the
requirement of client is as follows
Manufactory Company: (free standing jib crane)
1. Capacity of jib crane: 5 tonnes= 5000kg
2. Span length: 6.096 m
3. Overall height: 4.572 m
4. Height under boom: 3.658m
5. Mast: D= 406.4 mm
6. Trolley model: 311D1423, weight: 374.21kg (For 5 tonnes Jib crane)
Wheelbase: 232mm=0.232m

03 .METHODOLOGY
The underlying layout of a jib cranes consists of a solid boom shackled to a fixed
pivot point. In turn, this pivot is securely mounted onto a wall or on top of a
freestanding column. This pivot moves freely, allowing 180 or 360degree rotation,
and a wide arc of operation. The lifting is performed by an incorporated pulley or
motorized chain hoist, which can slide along the book and offer a large footprint of
operation. Free standing and mast type jib cranes offer 360degree rotation. Wall
mounted types offer 200degree rotation. Design of jib crane includes structural
design, mechanical design and electrical equipment design part. In this case, it
focused on structural design for jib crane, such as steel girder, steel mast, base
plate, bolts design.

3.1 .JIB CRANE

A jib crane is a type of crane where a horizontal member (jib or boom), supporting
a moveable hoist, is fixed to a wall or to a floormounted pillar. Jib cranes are used
in industrial premises and on military vehicles. The jib may swing through an arc,
to give additional lateral movement, or be fixed. Similar cranes, often known
simply as hoists, were fitted on the top floor of warehouse buildings to enable
goods to be lifted to all floors. The two degrees of freedom in the horizontal plane
5

are provided by the wheels provided, while the third, vertical degree of freedom is
provided by a hoist. Because of low cost and versatile use, there is a very good
application for the jib cranes.The designing and fabrication of this portable jib
crane uses application of mechanics of solids ,manufacturing technology and
various subjects of mechanical engineering.
3.2 Jib Crane Parts
Jib and Frame
The main components of jib crane are frame and jib. The frame includes the base
of the crane and the vertical column which is connected to the base. The jib is an
inbuilt portion of the column. The material of the frame should be tough enough to
withstand the normal shock load and high bending stresses produced during the
loading and transporting. The material of the frame selected was mild steel. The
mild steel holds the required properties and it is easily available and also cost
effective.The jib is the horizontal arm which is connected to the vertical column by
welding. The jib, vertical column and the base together withstand the bending
stress produced by the load. The design of the jib is done such that the stress
induced will be almost equal throughout the jib span.
Electric motor
Motor is the power source for loading operation. 240 V Single phase, AC
motor of power rating 250 W is selected for the requirements. There is a forward
and reverse switch for controlling the motor in both directions. The motor is
connected to the winding drum through gear set.

Gear Set
The gear set is used to get the reduced speed to the rope drum from the electric
motor. The reduced speed is used for lifting the objects slowly. The gear set is
having a gear ratio of 320.This gear ratio is obtained by two worm gear sets of gear
ratios 16 and 20.worm gear is selected because it is non-return type. Major
problems with the worm gear are less efficiency and high noise
Winding Drum
The function of drum is to wind the rope during loading. The winding drum
should withstand the load torque and the bending moment acted upon it. Material
of drum is mild steel .the drum is connected to the gear shaft in one side and
opposite side is connected to the frame through ball bearing.
Pully
The pulley acts as a guide way for the movement of the rope. The material of
the pulley is sand cast iron. The outer diameter is 10cm and the inner diameter is
1.5cm. Here totally four pulleys are used.

Wheel
Wheels are attached to the base of the crane for mobility of the jib crane. Here
totally four wheels are used. The front wheels are fixed type and back wheels are
revolving type. Since the crane is moved by pushing from the rear side, the

revolving type wheels make the steering easier. Each wheel is having a capacity to
carry 2000 kg
Rope
The function of rope is to transmit the rotary motion of drum to the linear
vertical motion of the hoist. The load in the rope is completely tensile. High
contact stress will be induced during the winding on drum and pulley. The selected
material of rope is wire steel. The diameter of the rope is 0.8mm.
Hook
Hook is used to hold the materials to be lifted. The material of the hook is
forged iron. The capacity of the specific hook is 8 tonne.

3.3 DESIGNING CRITERIA FOR SELECTING JIB CRANE

Design of jib crane is based on indian standards specifications.Steel structure
components design of jib crane should follow indian steel structure design code
which is Handbook of Steel Construction.Design of jib crane includes structural
design, mechanical design and electrical equipment design part. In this case, it
focused on structural design for jib crane, such as steel girder, steel mast, base
plate, bolts design.
APPLICATION -The crane must be suited to specific application. If you want to
stack bags of grain onto pallets, you would have a very different crane than
someone who wanted to lift a wooden board into a routing machine. When
speaking to a crane engineer, we should specify how much the product weighs as
this will determine the safe working load, or SWL, of the crane. They should also
find out where the product want to move , and from where. Also, the duty cycle of
the crane is an important consideration. Will the crane be working 24 hours per
day, seven days per week, It is important to make sure the engineer has all the
details of the needs so that they can put together a crane that suits unique
application.
FACILITIES - When determining the type of crane and how it will be installed, it
must take into consideration the limitations of the facilities. If it is a roof or wall
mounted crane, you must make sure the building is suitable to bear the loads; if
you are looking at a freestanding crane, the floor must be similarly assessed.
Although you will only have to do it once, crane installation should also be taken
into consideration. If you have to close down your factory for several days while
someone installs a crane, you will lose a significant amount of working hours and
9

therefore finished products. Once the type of crane is determined, then

manufacturing needs should be taken into consideration. And the crane must suit
your current production line. The crane might need it to move things around bends.
All of these needs must be taken into account when selecting a crane.
DESIGN -Since a numerous designs are available for the jib cranes, it is much
relevant to select jib cranes according to specific applications. The design may
vary with types of jib, methods of mounting, modes of motion or rotations etc.
QUALITY - The jib crane must be able to handle everything in terms of lifespan
and duty cycle. Some additional points that are taken into consideration are the
consistency of the material used in the construction of the crane, the in-house
quality control of the manufacturer, and the testing process.
COST - The price of the crane is one important factor. It must also add in the cost
of installation, maintenance, and future needs. As mentioned before, every hour
your factory is closed down for installation is an hour that cant be spent
manufacturing your product. Then it is even required to pay for extra labour if the
installation requires special tools or welding.
ACCOMMODATING THE FACILITIES - The jib crane should suite for the
existing facilities in the work area. So the type, dimensions, size of jib crane should
be suited for the available work space.
TYPES - The general types of jib cranes available are: floor mounted type, wall
mounted type, portable type etc.

4.APPLICATIONS,ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTTAGES

APPLICATIONS
1) Jib cranes are arranged, for example, in shipbuilding yards for use in
transportation of heavy burdens.
2) A jib crane is provided which can prevent an unexpected movement of a burden
and can sufficiently ensure the safety of a burden handling work.
3) The major strength is its stability and flexibility of the device.
4) It is ideal for lifting a product to or from material handling

system to a work

station or machine.
5) Jib crane is commonly used for workstation and simple loading/unloading
operations where it is not necessary to spot a load precisely.
6) Jib cranes most often handle lighter loads at lower duty cycles than their bridge
and gantry crane counterparts

ADVANTAGES
It can be used in a massive number of areas from vehicle garage to
dockyards ,construction site to ware houses
They may be even present in smaller version on the back of lorries for
loading and unloading
Jib cranes are suitable for most places due to the fact that they take up
minimal
11

 They take up minimal space but primarily they present a much quicker and
safer way lifting objects
Less personnel injuries
It can save expenditure by allowing the job to be finished quicker and by
reducing time off for accidents and all the implications that may arise from
them
So together with the large variety of possibilities and accessories offered,
the jib crane is a hugely adaptable lifting piece of equipment ,suitable for
many lifting and placing application in the majority of areas
DISADVANTAGES
It is designed for positioning a work piece or total ,rather than for moving a
product along in the work flow like an overhead crane
It is also unsuitable to use when there is a need for precise locating of heavy
loads ,a large area of hook coverage or frequent use for heavy loads
The hook coverage is limited to the boom length (typically a maximum of
20ft).the hook operates along a boom which rotates about a fixed point

12

5. CONCLUSIONS
The difference between jib cranes and other kinds of crane is that a jib crane is a
free standing device that usually sits on its own pedestal. These cranes look and
function like the mobile cranes seen at construction sites and elsewhere. They have
a motor usually contained in a base and a long arm that takes the hook over the
object to be lifted. As on mobile cranes the arm can be moved into position to pick
up an object then moved again to transfer it to a location. Jib cranes can either be
manually operated or motorized depending the weight of the loads lifted.
The biggest advantage to using a jib crane is that no overhead structure is required.
This means that no costly engineering work may be needed. Also a jib crane can be
transferred from one location to another with much engineering or construction
work. It can simply be moved via a forklift or other such device. The can be used
outside without a gantry. This makes it ideal for loading or unloading trucks. Such
cranes will also be quite a bit cheaper than overhead cranes or gantry cranes. They
will be cheaper because no structure will be needed for them. No complex
structure of machinery will be required either.
