Aluminum Rail Jib Crane Features
Lightweight
- The jib crane arm is made of aluminum alloy. With a density of approximately one-third that of steel, aluminum alloy significantly reduces the self-weight of the boom.
- The aluminum alloy rail is lightweight, with a minimum dead weight of only 3 kg/m. It is ideal for weight-sensitive applications, helping to reduce transportation and operational energy consumption.
Low Sliding Resistance
- Low-Friction Rail: Aluminum alloy rails offer excellent low-friction performance, resulting in minimal sliding resistance and exceptionally smooth movement.
- Low-Friction Trolley: The die-cast aluminum trolley is equipped with low-damping rollers made of high-performance engineering plastics, significantly optimizing the overall mobility and operating efficiency of the track system.
High Strength and Rigidity
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio: Modern aluminum alloys, through heat treatment and alloying processes, can achieve strength levels close to that of steel while maintaining a lightweight structure.
- Bending and torsional resistance: Properly engineered structures can withstand substantial loads, meeting the requirements of overhead operations and lifting applications.
Corrosion Resistance
- Natural corrosion resistance: A dense oxide layer readily forms on the surface of aluminum alloy, protecting against moisture, salt spray, and other harsh environments. This reduces maintenance costs and extends service life.
- No coating required: Unlike steel structures that require regular anti-corrosion treatment, aluminum structures are well suited for outdoor or demanding environments such as marine or chemical areas.
Low Maintenance Cost
- High durability: Resistant to wear and aging, maintaining structural integrity without deformation or cracking over long-term use.
- Easy to clean: The smooth surface prevents dirt accumulation, making maintenance simple and efficient.
Lifting Devices of Aluminum Rail Jib Crane
The aluminum jib crane can be used with various lifting devices, such as intelligent hoists, electric chain hoists, pneumatic balancers, and vacuum lifting systems.

- Dual operation modes: Supports switching between handle mode and floating mode. Can be operated with one or both hands, offering sensitive response and precise positioning.
- Stepless speed control / Adjustable speed: Lifting and lowering speed automatically adjusts according to the operator's applied force, enabling both rapid handling and precise alignment.
- Accurate positioning: The servo control system ensures smooth lifting, making it suitable for precision and fragile workpieces.
- Multiple safety protections: Equipped with overload protection, anti-misoperation protection, and power-failure protection to ensure operational safety.

- Lightweight: Aluminum alloy housing with a compact structure and reduced self-weight, ideal for installation in confined spaces.
- Variable frequency drive: Equipped with a variable frequency motor and inverter control, enabling stepless speed adjustment. Provides greater stability at low speeds and higher efficiency at high speeds.
- Smooth and quiet operation: Soft start and stop, low noise, minimal vibration, and reliable performance.
- Safety and automation friendly: Designed with soft limit switches and multiple protection features. Offers versatile interfaces to support remote control and automated control systems.

- Powered by compressed air, spark-free operation ensures high safety and reliability.
- High lifting and lowering speed, typically 2–6 times faster than electric hoists.
- Screw-driven transmission ensures smooth lifting and lowering without vibration, and supports stepless speed control.
- High-precision, stress-free positioning, achieving positioning accuracy of up to ±0.1 mm.

- Uses a vacuum generator to extract air, creating negative pressure on the suction cup surface to securely hold the workpiece for non-destructive handling.
- Suitable for handling thin or flat materials such as panels, glass, plastic sheets, and metal plates.
- Stable and reliable vacuum adsorption, with simple and rapid suction and release operations, improving handling efficiency and reducing the risk of workplace injuries.
