HI-TECH manufactures Double Girder and Single Girder EOT cranes, goliath cranes, jib cranes, gantry cranes, goods lifts, and specialized flame-proof hoists and cranes. Where is HI-TECH Cranes located? The manufacturing operations are based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Are the cranes tested before installation? Yes. All cranes are fully assembled and load/overload tested at the factory according to IS:3177 standards. Deflection tests are performed in the presence of third-party inspectors before certification and dispatch. How does the traverse and travel motion work? The travel mechanisms utilize independent driving units with totally enclosed helical gear boxes and floating shaft semi-geared couplings. Both traverse and travel motions feature automatic electromagnetic or hydraulic thruster braking when power is disconnected.

Engineered for precision material handling, the Hi-Tech Jib Crane delivers high-rigidity lifting solutions customized for industrial environments. Designed using advanced modeling software, these cranes minimize structural deflection under maximum load, ensuring safe, stable, and quick material transport. Core Specifications Specification Range / Detail Lifting Capacity 250 kg to 5,000 kg (0.25 to 5 Tons) Jib Radius (Reach) Up to 8 Meters Maximum Lift Height Up to 8 Meters Rotation Angles 180°, 270°, or 360° Engineering & Structural Features Advanced Computational Design: Structural integrity and load calculations are verified using modern design software to ensure maximum safety and operational efficiency. Minimal Deflection: The specially fabricated robust pillar and Jib arm are engineered to maintain a rigid profile, ensuring minimal deflection even at peak loaded conditions. Reinforced Base Rigidity: The pillar features an increased section at the base, drastically improving the overall stability of the structure during heavy lifting and rotation. Optimized Lead Times: Streamlined manufacturing processes ensure quick deliveries for both standard and customized configurations. Available Crane Configurations Depending on your facility's floor space and existing structural supports, the Hi-Tech Jib Crane is available in two distinct configurations: Self-Supported Pillar Mounted: A standalone unit bolted directly to the facility floor. Ideal for open workspaces requiring up to 360-degree rotation and maximum independence from building structures. Wall Mounted: The Jib arm is supported by heavy-duty brackets bolted directly to an existing reinforced wall or structural column. This zero-footprint design is perfect for saving floor space, typically offering 180-degree to 270-degree rotation. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) What is the maximum lifting capacity of a Hi-Tech Jib Crane? These cranes are built to handle a wide range of industrial loads, with capacities starting at 250 kg for lighter assembly tasks, scaling up to 5,000 kg (5 tons) for heavy-duty material handling. Can I install a wall-mounted jib crane on any building column? The wall-mounted design requires robust structural support. The existing wall or building column must be structurally evaluated to ensure it can safely bear both the dead weight of the crane and the dynamic load of the maximum lifting capacity at full extension. How does the increased base section improve the pillar-mounted crane? By widening and reinforcing the structural section at the base of the pillar, the crane better absorbs and distributes the torque and bending moments generated during a lift. This drastically reduces swaying or deflection at the end of the Jib arm.

HI-TECH Goliath Cranes are engineered for high-performance heavy material handling, delivering robust reliability, minimal maintenance, and strict compliance with Indian Standard Specifications (IS-807-1999 & IS-3177-2006). Structural Integrity Bridge Girders: Fabricated from high-quality steel plates into a rectangular box section with stiffening diaphragms. They are built with the required camber for unloaded conditions and are internally sealed via welding to prevent internal corrosion. End Carriages: Constructed from M.S. plates utilizing a tapered design to ensure smooth stress flow under dynamic loads. They connect to the girders using machined bolts and feature forged steel wheels housed in 'L' type bearing support blocks. Trolley Frame: A welded combination of M.S. plates and rolled sections carrying the hoisting and traversing machinery on four forged steel wheels. Assembly: All structural parts are match-marked for seamless on-site erection, and a full-length anti-skid platform is provided on the drive end. Mechanical Operations Motion Type Power Transmission Braking & Safety Features Hoist Motor coupled to a totally enclosed, splash-lubricated helical gear box. Drives a machined M.S. rope drum with right/left spiral grooves. Fail-safe electro-magnetic/hydraulic brake. Spindle limit switch prevents extreme hook over-travel. Traverse Motor powers trolley wheels through a vertically mounted spur/helical gear box using a floating shaft principle with semi-geared couplings. Automatic electro-magnetic/hydraulic thruster brake engages instantly upon power loss. Travel Two independent units at the bridge girder ends. Each motor drives a bridge wheel through a totally enclosed helical gear box. Automatic electromagnetic/hydraulic thruster brake engages on power cut. Electrical & Control Systems Motors: Crane-duty squirrel cage or slipring motors (40% CDF, high torque, Class F insulation) designed for high humidity and tropical climates (IS:325 compliant). Controls: Operated via a floor-controlled pendant push button or cabin-controlled master/cam controllers. Slipring motors utilize unbreakable stainless steel grid resistors (BSS-587-1957) housed in ventilated steel. Wiring & Panels: A sheet metal protective panel houses an isolating switch, overload relays, circuit breaker, fuses, and low-voltage transformer. All connections use PVC flexible copper cables. Quality & Testing Prior to dispatch, cranes are fully assembled and subjected to rigorous load, overload, and deflection tests in accordance with IS-3177. Tests are conducted in the presence of third-party inspectors to ensure certified performance. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) What safety standards do HI-TECH Goliath Cranes meet? They are strictly designed to conform to IS-807-1999 for structural design and IS-3177-2006 for mechanical/electrical operations and testing. What happens if there is a sudden power outage? The cranes utilize a fail-safe mechanism. Electro-magnetic and electro-hydraulic thruster brakes automatically engage on all motions the moment power is lost, securing the load instantly. Are these cranes durable enough for outdoor, humid environments? Yes. The internal girder surfaces are sealed against corrosion, and the motors utilize Class F insulation specifically chosen to withstand tropical climates and high humidity.
