Product Introduction
A Pillar Mounted Jib Crane, also known as a Column Mounted Jib Crane, Free Standing Jib Crane, or Floor Mounted Jib Crane, is a self-supporting lifting system installed on the workshop floor through a steel column and foundation. It is designed for localized material handling within a fixed working radius and is widely used in workshops, warehouses, production lines, assembly stations, machining areas, maintenance sites, and loading or unloading areas.
Unlike wall mounted jib cranes, a pillar mounted jib crane does not need to be fixed to a building wall or existing steel structure. It is supported by its own vertical column, which is usually anchored to a concrete foundation by anchor bolts. This makes it highly flexible for installation in different working positions, especially where the building structure cannot support additional crane loads or where a dedicated workstation lifting solution is required.
ZOKECRANE pillar mounted jib cranes are designed and manufactured by Henan Zoke Crane Co., Ltd., a professional lifting equipment manufacturer specializing in overhead cranes, gantry cranes, and customized lifting solutions. Our manufacturing base is located in Changyuan, Henan Province, one of China’s major crane production centers. With extensive experience in crane engineering, design, manufacturing, and quality control, ZOKECRANE provides reliable and practical pillar mounted jib crane solutions for international customers.
A typical pillar mounted jib crane consists of a vertical steel column, jib arm, rotation mechanism, electric hoist or manual hoist, hoist trolley, electrical control system, foundation bolts, and safety devices. According to the working requirements, it can be equipped with an electric chain hoist, wire rope electric hoist, European style electric hoist, manual chain hoist, manual trolley, electric trolley, motorized slewing mechanism, pendant control, or wireless remote control.
The crane can usually rotate through 180°, 270°, 300°, or 360° depending on the design and application. With its independent support structure and flexible rotation range, the pillar mounted jib crane can effectively cover a circular or semi-circular working area around the column. It helps reduce manual handling, improve operating efficiency, increase workplace safety, and make better use of production space.
ZOKECRANE can customize pillar mounted jib cranes according to lifting capacity, jib length, lifting height, rotation angle, hoist type, working duty, power supply, control method, installation environment, and customer project requirements. With ISO, CE, and SGS certifications, ZOKECRANE remains committed to providing reliable crane equipment, professional technical support, and customized lifting solutions for global industrial users.

Applications of Pillar Mounted Jib Crane
The pillar mounted jib crane is widely used in industrial workplaces that require fixed-point lifting, localized material handling, flexible rotation, and independent support.
Workstation Lifting
A pillar mounted jib crane is commonly installed beside a workstation to lift tools, parts, molds, components, and semi-finished products. It helps operators complete repeated lifting tasks more safely and efficiently.
Assembly Lines
In assembly lines, the crane can assist with part positioning, equipment assembly, component transfer, and production process handling. It is especially suitable for lifting tasks within a fixed working radius.
Machining Workshops
The crane can be installed near CNC machines, lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, grinding machines, and machining centers for loading and unloading workpieces.
Warehouse Material Handling
In warehouses and storage areas, pillar mounted jib cranes can be used for lifting spare parts, equipment, cartons, metal products, mechanical components, and other materials within a local working area.
Maintenance and Repair Areas
The crane is suitable for equipment maintenance, motor repair, pump repair, reducer replacement, gearbox handling, and spare parts lifting. It can improve maintenance efficiency and reduce manual labor.
Mold and Die Handling
For mold manufacturing, injection molding, stamping, die casting, and tooling workshops, the pillar mounted jib crane can help lift, replace, and position molds and dies safely.
Loading and Unloading Areas
Pillar mounted jib cranes can be installed near doors, platforms, production entrances, or loading areas for handling materials between workstations, carts, containers, trucks, or production equipment.
Independent Workstations
Because the crane has its own column and does not rely on walls or building columns, it is suitable for independent workstations where a dedicated lifting point is required.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pillar Mounted Jib Crane
1. What is a pillar mounted jib crane?
A pillar mounted jib crane is a self-supporting jib crane installed on the floor through a steel column and foundation. It is used for lifting and moving materials within a fixed working radius around the column.
2. What is the difference between a pillar mounted jib crane and a wall mounted jib crane?
A pillar mounted jib crane is supported by its own steel column and is installed on the floor with a foundation. A wall mounted jib crane is fixed to a building wall, existing steel column, or workshop structure. The pillar mounted type is more flexible in installation position, while the wall mounted type saves floor space.
3. Does a pillar mounted jib crane need a foundation?
Yes. A pillar mounted jib crane usually requires a concrete foundation and anchor bolts. The foundation size depends on lifting capacity, jib length, rotation angle, working duty, and site ground conditions. ZOKECRANE can provide foundation drawings according to the crane design.
4. Can the pillar mounted jib crane rotate 360 degrees?
Yes. Many pillar mounted jib cranes can be designed with 360° rotation. Other rotation angles such as 180°, 270°, or 300° can also be designed according to site conditions and customer requirements.
5. What lifting capacity can ZOKECRANE provide?
