Yuantai Crane recently designed, sold 3 ton single girder overhead crane for an injection mold manufacturing facility in Nigeria. The single girder crane is designed to help employees load the injection mold machine components safely and efficiently.
Lifting requirement and overhead crane solutions for mold handling
Every month, the client need to change 300 to 350 pieces series, which involves changing an equal number of injection mould. Since they heavily rely on the molds to ensure productivity and the manufacturing quality of the products. They must always ensure frequent inspections and routine maintenance of the molds in order to ensure production quantity and quality in line with our aims. Only the electric overhead crane should be used, and it must be completely trustworthy.
Prior to the installation of our single girder overhead cranes, the pillar electric jib crane is used in their two work stations. The toolmakers' work was frequently interrupted while they waited for the electric electric jib crane to arrive. As a result, it was decided that each work station would be self-contained, and the 3 ton overhead cranes was required. The two sets of single girder overhead cranes travel on the same steel structure, and limit switches ensure travel safety to avoid accidental collisions.
Electric jib crane vs. Overhead crane, which is right for you?
After going through the overhead crane project for the Nigeria client, then comes the question: Which do you choose, the electric jib crane or overhead crane?” In the following, lets check the comparison and check the advantages and features of the electric jib crane and overhead cranes.
Electric jib crane or electric overhead crane?
The question of whether to use an electric overhead crane or an electric jib crane for a certain application comes up frequently. The solution is not that easy. While each method has advantages over the other, the following comparison will be presented for your reference to get your most suitable material handling solutions.
Crane cost and crane price
An electric jib crane must be less expensive, right? No, not always. The pillar jib cranes frequently need a footing or foundation, which necessitates excavating the floor and laying new concrete; this is expensive and time-consuming. On the other hand, An electric overhead crane/runway construction frequently has the ability to support itself without the use of these pricey footings or foundations.
Lifting height
I get a better hook height with electric overhead cranes, right? No, not always. In either configuration, the lifting crane's tallest impediment may be the beam. Electric overhead cranes do, in fact, provide a bit more flexibility to increase lifting height (coped beams, double girder, nested trolleys, etc.), but they are as effective for typical systems.
Motorization of overhead crane and jib crane
The overhead cranes are usually motorized whereas the jib cranes are usually manual operation. Yes, it is true usually however, the manual overhead crane and electric jib cranes are also very widely used. Both crane systems can be manual (push/pull) or motorized. The selection of manual or electric operation is largely decided by the, the capacity and length of travel. Which is better for you, the electric crane or manual crane? Contact us to learn more.
Hook coverage
Which is better, the overhead crane or jib crane? It really depends on your particular application and lifting requirements such as, hook travel/hook coverage and floor space. The electric overhead cranes offer you the best hook coverage without any argument. An overhead crane can basically cover almost corner to corner of a room or work area whereas the electric jib crane has a radius and the jib hoist hook can only cover within the radius area.

Supporting columns & crane runways
The downside of the overhead travelling crane/runway is the floor space requirement.
Whereas an electric jib crane has a single mast/column, the electric overhead crane runway as a minimum of (4) columns, each taking up floor space.
The crane runway of overhead bridge crane must have a clear footprint to be positioned properly over a machine or for loads handling, unlike a jib that allows the mast to basically be positioned anywhere within reach of the pick/lift.
Crane operations
Last thing to consider is how many crane operators will be using the lifting system, the last thing any employer wants is an employee standing around because they are “waiting on the crane”.
It was thought that the electric jib cranes were only for one person or one location. No, not always. One jib crane may typically do numerous duties for diverse lifting demands by being strategically placed to reach multiple work cells or machines. And also electric jib crane reach/travel is often less, and then, all the users within arm’s reach of the hoist controls can use the cranes.
Wrap it up, hook coverage area and mounting footprint of the lifting crane plays important roles in selecting which type of crane to buy. It is nessary to take time to stand back and inspect your working applications and confirm where the crane will be located and who will be using it. When all questions is answered, you will know which type of crane is better for your applications.
