Wallmountedjibcrane.Likethenamesuggeststhiskindofjibcraneis
fittedontothewall.Itrequiresverylittleheadroom,soitcanbefitted
very close to the underside of roofs etc. to provide maximum lift for
your hoist. The coverage like other types of cranes is circular and
generally around 20 feet. But it requires a strong wall or column
structuretofititanddegreeofrotationislesserthanthatofMaststyle
and free standing jib cranes. This crane is very efficient way to move
materialwhenfloorspaceisnotavailableanddiggingafoundationfor
