A small selection of jib cranes can be mounted straight to a 6” reinforced concrete floor, the industrial building standard. The rest of the floor-mounted jib crane range must have a square of factory floor torn up and a specially-designed concrete footing installed.

How do I determine if my jib crane needs a foundation? Plan on needing a foundation unless your crane engineer tells you specifically otherwise. How do I know how big to make that foundation? Dearborn will supply you with a drawing showing the length, depth, and width of the foundation required, as well as any reinforcement required and the anchor bolt placement. Dearborn also offers a kit consisting of anchor bolts, anchor bolt template, and early kit shipment so the customer can set the foundation including anchor bolts before the actual jib crane arrives.
