Mounting Jib Cranes

You can select the right option for your application from a variety of mounting options for our jib cranes. Pillar slewing jib cranes can be individually set up as free-standing cranes. Wall jib cranes can be mounted to a concrete wall or building support. For wall jib cranes there are mounting options on steel supports, reinforced concrete supports, steel plates and reinforced concrete walls.

Overview

Mounts for pillar slewing jib cranes
An ABUS pillar slewing crane can be installed to a foundation built by the customer or onto an existing concrete floor or concrete ceiling using an intermediate plate or dowel plate.
We will show you the various options for floor mounting here:

What will it be mounted to?	What crane types are possible?	Which load capacities and jib lengths are possible?	Which requirements does the customer have to meet?	Mounting
New building or floor of building, not yet constructed	All	All load capacities and jib lengths	Laying the foundations	With anchor rods and template
Existing floor of building or concrete ceiling, normal concrete or steel fibre concrete	CJZ-B, CJZ-A, CJZ-AL	All load capacities and jib lengths	Check the suitability of the building floor	With intermediate plate
	CJZ-D	Up to 1000 kg for all jib lengths; from 1250 to 10000 kg depending on the jib length	Check the suitability of the building floor	With intermediate plate

Foundation block with anchor bolts

The currently most regularly requested type of mounting for column mounted jib cranes uses anchor rods. These are positioned within a concrete foundation block. Clescrane delivers the anchors and a steel template for positioning and aligning the anchor box as well as the required information for pouring a foundation with reinforcement in accordance with DIN 1045-1.

Intermediate plate on a concrete floor

Using a square intermediate plate, the crane can be mounted on a suitable existing concrete floor. After the floor plate has been drilled and chiselled out, anchors are inserted and cast. Clescrane delivers the intermediate plate and, on request, the appropriate floor anchors.

Intermediate plate on a concrete suspended ceiling

Alternatively, the intermediate plate can be mounted to a suitable concrete ceiling with through-wall anchors. Clescrane delivers the intermediate plate and, on request, the appropriate through-wall anchors.

Mounts for wall jib cranes
For wall jib cranes there are mounting options on steel supports, reinforced concrete supports, steel plates and reinforced concrete walls.
We'll show you the various options for wall mounting here:

What should it be mounted on?	What crane types are possible?	Which load capacities and jib lengths are possible?	Which requirements does the customer have to meet?	Mounting
Steel support	All	All load capacities and jib lengths	Check the suitability of the building support	With screw connector
Steel support / reinforced concrete support	All	Up to 500 kg for all jib lengths; from 500 to 50 00 kg depending on the jib length	Check the suitability of the building support	With embracing bracket
Steel plates on a steel support, concrete support or concrete wall	All	All load capacities and jib lengths	Check the suitability of the substructure	With weld-on plates
Reinforced concrete wall	All	All load capacities and jib lengths	Check the suitability of the substructure	With threaded rods and counter plates

On steel supports using wall bracket/mounting

The simplest type of mounting of wall jib cranes is the bolting onto existing steel supports. For this, the supports must be of structurally sufficient size (they may need to be reinforced) and exhibit a sufficiently wide connection surface. All Clescrane wall mounted jib cranes include this mounting option in the scope of delivery of standard equipment. For types CJX-B, CJX-A and CJX-AL this is provided through the wall bracket and for type CJX-D through direct bolting on of both wall mountings

On reinforced concrete supports using brackets

On structurally suitable, square or rectangular reinforced concrete supports which can be freely enveloped, wall mounted jib cranes can be mounted with brackets. The required tension forces can be applied through threaded rods to hold the crane securely to the support at the desired height. The support must have the required minimum width for this. Clescrane delivers brackets designed for the support dimensions, together with the required mounting material

On reinforced concrete walls or supports using weld-on plates

Concrete walls or supports can be prepared for the mounting of wall mouned jib cranes on weld-on plates through suitable mounting plates with grouted anchoring as a substructure. When performing this construction work, care should be taken that the mounting plates lie exactly flush and exhibit plumb-vertical connection surfaces. The weld-on plates are welded to the substructure. The wall bracket or the wall mountings of the crane are bolted onto the weld-on plates. Clescrane delivers the weld-on plates with the required mounting screws.
On steel supports using weld-on plates
Weld-on plates can be welded directly onto steel supports or load-bearing steel structures providing holes will not or cannot be drilled through them. (not pictured)

On reinforced walls using wall brackets and through-wall anchors

For mounting on reinforced concrete walls of adequate load-bearing capacity, wall brackets are used. For the types CJX-B, CJX-A and CJX-AL, the wall bracket is included in the scope of delivery. For the type CJX-D, it is available as optional equipment. The wall brackets are mounted on the wall with ties and counterplates. Included in the Clescrane scope of delivery are the anchor rods, counterplates and the required mounting materials, all adapted for the respective wall thicknessmaterial
