What Holds a Jib Crane to the Floor?

A jib crane is anchored to the foundation or wall with anchors that can be ordered with the jib crane or purchased by the customer at a local bolt or supply house. It is important that the jib crane be anchored to a proper concrete footing or properly engineered wall or building column. Bolts alone cannot anchor most jib cranes into industry standard 6” reinforced concrete floor. The floor will buckle, the crane will collapse, loads and/or people will be hurt. If you have any questions, please call our office first or reference your owners’ manual supplied with every jib crane. A jib crane is easy to install provided the directions are followed carefully. Most customers prefer to install their own jib cranes but installation is available through Jib Crane Outlet installation field crews.
