A jib crane consists of a horizontal beam called a ‘jib’ or ‘jib arm’ (or even sometimes a ‘boom’) to which a hoist is attached. The jib arm is typically either supported by a post or attached to a building wall or column. Normally the jib crane’s arm slews to a given angle and hoist is able to travel up and down the arm – however the degree and method of movement will vary depending on the design of each jib crane.
