Movable Jib Cranes Perth & WA
Portable Lifting Solutions for Container Unpacking, Bags, Cartons & Vacuum Lifters
A movable jib crane provides a flexible lifting solution for businesses that need safe lifting in multiple work areas without the cost and limitations of a permanently installed crane.
Designed to be relocated by forklift and easily moved on heavy-duty wheels, our movable jib cranes allow a single lifting system to service multiple workstations, packing areas, production cells and container unloading zones throughout your facility.
With lifting capacities up to 35kg, these compact cranes are ideal for lifting bags, sacks, cartons, boxes, tubs and buckets while significantly reducing manual handling risks and operator fatigue.
Their unique articulated arm design and extremely low headroom make them particularly effective for container unpacking, warehouse operations and vacuum lifting applications where traditional jib cranes, forklifts and lifting equipment simply won’t fit.
Why Choose a Movable Jib Crane?
Many businesses require lifting assistance in several locations throughout their facility.
Installing multiple fixed jib cranes is often expensive, impractical and unnecessary.
A movable jib crane provides the flexibility to bring the lifting equipment directly to the task.
Benefits include:
✔ One crane servicing multiple work areas
✔ No expensive concrete footings required
✔ Can be relocated by forklift
✔ Easily moved between workstations
✔ Ideal for leased premises
✔ Reduces manual handling injuries
✔ Improves productivity and workflow efficiency
✔ Supports vacuum lifting systems
For many businesses, a movable jib crane provides the benefits of several fixed cranes at a fraction of the cost when compared to installing multiple Jib Cranes Perth & WA throughout a facility.
Designed for Container Unpacking
Container unpacking remains one of the most labour-intensive and injury-prone tasks in many warehouses and distribution facilities.
Workers are often required to manually handle cartons, bags, buckets and containers within confined spaces where forklifts cannot operate safely.
Our movable jib crane is specifically designed to overcome these challenges.
The compact footprint and articulated arm allow operators to safely lift and position products inside shipping containers while reducing manual handling risks and supporting broader Workplace Safety Equipment initiatives.
Common container unloading applications include:
- Cartons and boxes
- Bags and sacks
- Plastic tubs
- Buckets and pails
- Food ingredients
- Chemical products
- Packaged materials
- General freight
For businesses regularly unloading containers, a movable jib crane can significantly improve both safety and productivity.
Articulated Jib Arm for Tight Spaces
Unlike traditional straight-arm jib cranes, this crane features an articulated jib arm that provides exceptional manoeuvrability in confined areas.
Benefits include:
- Reaching around obstacles
- Improved load positioning
- Greater flexibility inside containers
- Better access to workstations
- Easier operation in restricted spaces
This makes the crane particularly effective in:
- Shipping containers
- Production cells
- Packing stations
- Warehouses
- Manufacturing facilities
- Restricted-access work areas
Extremely Low Headroom Design
One of the key advantages of this movable jib crane is its extremely low overall height.
The crane is specifically designed to operate where conventional cranes cannot.
Ideal applications include:
- Sea containers
- Low-ceiling warehouses
- Mezzanine levels
- Plant rooms
- Restricted-height production areas
The articulated arm height can also be adjusted to suit available clearance and assist with moving beneath low doorways, equipment and structural obstacles.
One Crane for Multiple Workstations
Unlike a fixed jib crane that remains permanently installed in one location, a movable jib crane can be relocated as operational requirements change.
The crane can be used across:
- Container unloading areas
- Packing stations
- Production lines
- Dispatch zones
- Manufacturing cells
- Maintenance workshops
This flexibility allows a single crane to provide lifting assistance wherever it is needed most throughout the day.
For facilities with changing workflows or seasonal production requirements, this can provide substantial cost savings compared to installing multiple fixed cranes.
Ideal for Vacuum Lifters
Many customers utilise this crane as a support structure for vacuum lifting equipment.
Combined with a vacuum lifter, the crane provides an ergonomic solution for handling:
- Bags and sacks
- Cartons and boxes
- Buckets and containers
- Plastic products
- Food ingredients
- Manufacturing components
The mobility of the crane allows the vacuum lifting system to be relocated throughout the facility as required.
This creates a highly flexible lifting solution without the need for permanent infrastructure.
