Retrofit Crane Motorization

MOTORIZED JIBS AND DRIVE SYSTEMS
motorized jibs are custom designed to fit your requirements.

• A Standard drive package is a chain and sprocket design, which provides positive traction, eliminating the slippage common to tractor-type drives or drives which power the roller assemblies and increases durability of the drive unit by not driving on load-bearing roller assemblies. This package includes a field-adjustable torque limiter for drive protection, a worm gear reducer in oil bath lubrication for long lasting reliable operation and low maintenance. TEFC 30 minute rated motors are standard with thermal overload protection. Direct chain and sprocket drive allows for accurate and easy positioning of loads.
• Wall cantilever, wall bracket and mast type design utilize the same basic drive as the freestanding jib crane, guaranteeing high performance and reliability.

Options include:

• Stainless steel wear rings for corrosive or spark resistant applications, air drives for spark resistant applications, gear and pinion drive components for accurate positioning or high duty cycles, special control enclosures and wiring for hazardous locations, multi-speed units for delicate handling situations, and protective coatings: galvanizing, epoxy, Steelit, etc. just to name a few.
• All motorized jibs are designed, with the customer in mind, for ease of maintenance. All drive parts are easily accessible for lubrication and adjustment. Also ask about our retrofit motorization packages.
