Arm Crane For Rent

1. What is an Arm Crane?

An Arm Crane, also known as a Jib Crane or Boom Crane, is a lifting device designed to move heavy loads with precision and flexibility within a limited area. It features a horizontal arm (jib or boom) that supports a hoist, which travels along the arm to lift and position materials. Arm cranes are commonly used in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, workshops, docks, and construction sites for tasks that require repetitive, localized lifting. Available in wall-mounted, pillar-mounted, or freestanding configurations, arm cranes are valued for their space-saving design, ease of use, and ability to improve workflow efficiency.
