Full Rotation Jib Cranes

How to choose
What it is for
- 360° slewing jib crane for high capacities and full coverage of the working circle.
- Heavy workstations, foundry, steel fabrication.
Check before you choose
- Capacity and outreach
- Foundation design
- Electric slewing/travel options
Not suitable for
- Light duty where a standard pillar jib is sufficient
What we will ask you before recommending a model
Full-rotation (360°) pillar jib crane Project product — the final configuration is confirmed by our technical team before the order.
- Load weight including hoist, trolley and attachments; heaviest lift? Crane capacity must cover hoist + trolley + load. Do not size by WLL alone.
- Span, height, 360° working zone; slewing method and speed; braking? At larger spans and capacities the base moments and the foundation dominate.
- Foundation data at the pillar position?
- Required hook height and hall height / obstacles (lights, pipes, doors, sprinklers)? Hook height = clearance − crane − trolley − hoist headroom − hook.
- Cycles per hour, hours per day; manual or motorised slewing / travel? Heavy or frequent loads are hard to slew by hand; duty defines hoist class.
Typical mistakes to avoid
- Base moments and foundation dominate at large spans; outdoor → wind in service and out of service.

Full-rotation jib cranes
When 270° is not enough, the RSD full-rotation pillar jib crane covers the complete circle: an underbraced I-beam boom on its own floor-anchored pillar, rotating 360° with capacities from 150 to 10 000 kg and spans from 2 to 12 m, indoors or out. The full rotation makes one crane serve machines and stations all the way around the pillar.
Standard pillar jib cranes (typically 270°) and wall-mounted jibs cover most workstations at lower cost; pair any jib with an electric chain hoist sized to the duty. Contact us with load, span and duty cycle for a proposal including the foundation loads.
Frequently asked questions
When do I need full 360° rotation?
When the crane stands amid workstations rather than against a wall or in a corner — a central pillar serving machines on all sides, or outdoor loading points arranged around the crane. If the work area is a sector, a standard 270° jib costs less.
What foundation does the crane need?
A reinforced-concrete foundation designed for the moment loads of the chosen capacity and span — we supply the foundation loads and anchor plan with the crane documentation for your structural engineer.
How quickly can a full-rotation jib crane be delivered?
Each crane is built to order for the specified capacity, span and height. Request a quote and we will confirm the current lead time and delivery for your location.
