A Luffer Jib Crane, also known as a Luffing Jib Crane, is a type of tower crane where the jib (the long arm) can move up and down at an angle. This makes it very useful for working in crowded construction sites where there is limited space or where other cranes are operating nearby.

What It Is:
Unlike a regular tower crane with a fixed horizontal arm, a luffer jib crane’s arm can be raised or lowered. This allows it to work in tight spaces and avoid obstacles while lifting heavy loads.

Use of Luffer Jib Crane:

  • Lifting heavy materials like steel and concrete
  • Working in tight spaces between buildings
  • Construction of high-rise buildings
  • Sites where multiple cranes are used, and space is limited

Where It is Used:

  • Urban construction sites
  • High-rise building projects
  • Industrial plants with space restrictions
  • Bridge and tower construction

Key Features:

  • Adjustable jib angle
  • Can lift loads vertically and move them with precision
  • Can rotate and work in small areas
  • Ideal for use near other cranes or structures

Benefits:

  • Works well in congested areas
  • Allows safe operation near obstacles
  • Can lift heavy loads to high points
  • Reduces the risk of collisions with other cranes
