Jib Cranes Market Trends

Automating processes to increase productivity and efficiency is one of the emerging trends in jib crane design. This involves automating repetitive processes such as load positioning, rotation, and stacking by utilizing sensors, actuators, and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Jib cranes that are automated can increase productivity, lower labor expenses, and simplify material handling procedures in warehouse, logistics, and industrial settings. For instance, in October 2023, Grenada launched swing jib cranes to enhance workspace efficiency for users. The new product launch was in line with the company’s initiative to integrate the lifting offerings.
 

Jib crane manufacturers are integrating intelligent and networked functionalities into their machines to provide real-time diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and remote monitoring. The utilization of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, telematics, and cloud-based platforms enables crane operators to monitor the health of their equipment, track crane performance, and receive notifications regarding maintenance or repair needs. Smart jib cranes enhance reliability, uptime, and safety by providing actionable insights about equipment usage and condition.
