Jib crane build

How to build (step by step) a heavy duty jib crane, which can be mounted on the side of the house or in your workshop.
It was build in 2 days for my uncle's farm for loading and unloading hay and other heavy things on the top floor.

I do not reccomend this type of jib crane design if walls aren't made entirely from thick enough reinforced concrete.

[@maximumwoof8662]

make it a through-bolt design

[@joek3697]

That is what I was wondering about when I saw this. The crane looks very strong the wall it's anchored too and the anchor bolts will be the failure point some day

[@davesadowick7694]

Nice design and construction. What about having a tag line attached to the end of the I beam to be able to pull in the crane arm without reaching out to bring load to the deck?

[@cannon440]

What stops your wall from collapsing? Is the home concrete or stucco? That is leverage houses are not built for.

[@makeityourself5016]

Good observation mate. Walls are actually made from clay blocks. So, those aren't enought to hold 1 ton on the end of 3 meter long beam. Not even close. But there is a vertical concrete pillar behind one part of the mount and one horizontal on top. So, it should hold :D Thanks for watching mate. ;)

[@mordeth8738]

Can I get the plans for this? I would like build one like you started to do. I seen you mounting it on an "I" beam but then you mounted it on a wall instead. The only thing I would change. And that is saying ALOT (I have OCD). Is flipping the Jib over to use a trolley. That same support design should be plenty for a hanging style support. Thanks, Emily Shelton.

Hey, saddly I do not have the plans avaliable. Originaly it was ment to be made like you mentioned, but the guy for whom it was made decided to take this path :)

[@abesaldivar4449]

Solid construction, with it being anchored to a wall like that does that perhaps limit your weight capacity? Or is it bolted through the wall to a beam on the other side? Thanks

[@makeityourself5016]

It definitly limits lifting capacity. But it's still a concrete pillar behind the plate and one on top. So I'm guessing I can lift 1 ton.

[@p5makersplace]

Great welds - super project - question on your weld technique - almost looks like you are using a type of "whip" nozzle movement, when most mig guys use more of a circular nozzle movement. Is that correct? Whatever you are doing, produced a very even seam. Nice job.

[@makeityourself5016]

Hello. Yes, that's one of the techinques. I believe its not recomended for begginers because you can end up with lack of fusion. But if you know how to stay on the leading edge of the puddle it's just perfect. I like that technique the most. I had my welds tested and i did penetration test and they were all good. That circular motion is used with lower currents. Its not used in spray transfer, just in short circuit mig or globular. .

[@cajunnathan4586]

I Like This

[@apacheone3643]

You should allow time for the metal to cool between welds to minimize twist. Also the strength of your wall and those lags are your weak point especially if that concrete is of a low rating and not wire reinforce. When a Foundation is laid for a building the concrete is collected at the beginning and end of the pour , it is allow to cure 30 days and then will have a compression test done on it . Cemete walls are not required in all places to have the same test done . I would check with your building codes to see if there is a code for your walls . If you live in a Hurricane Zone and the building is new you may have a hurricane rated 🧱.

[@Boediprasetya]

Heavy Duty 👍👍👍

[@orientalengineers5860]

Except wall mounting. One more thing to use bearings, and you can use locking system by providing two flange with hole to lock the position. Rest is perfect idea..

[@makeityourself5016]

Thanks mate. I was sceptical if I should use bearings or not, but then after a suggestion from local machinist, i decided to just use bushings. They work perfectly. It rotates with litteraly no force... A lock mechanism would maybe come in handy. But its to late 😅

[@RobertBeck-pp2ru]

You have it all wrong. The rail could bend and collapse at the knee brace. The positions should be reversed; the brace on top, and extended all the way to the end of the trolly beam.Don't know what that wall is made of, but this looks like a casualty waiting to happen.

I install sign on walls and may counter lever off the wall light this and believe me this is not safe I don't care if the house Pillar is behind that wall it is not built for this purpose I warn you not to use that hoist I believe you should remove it and Mount it to something that is capable of holding it there is a reason things like this are engineered unless you have proper steel work behind that wall I do not believe it is safe

[@makeityourself5016]

If it would be for me, I would do it a little different. But it was made for my uncle and he insisted that this is the way to go. Plus he isn't lifting more than 400kg 🙂 That pillars behind will hold, no problem. We could even conect it to another side of the house with cables to reinforce it but it's no need for 400kg :) But thanks for the warning. I appreciate it 🙂

Yea metal expands and contracts when welding. It's called weld sequencing. He had it well thought out!!!

@@jro1560 jep, you are right. Welding causes very high local temperatures. And when getting hot, metal expands and when cooling down, it shrinks. If I wouldn't be checking with an axle, it might had happen that an axle wouldn't even fit through. And if I saw that axle leans to one way, i had to weld opposite side. Like mentioned. It's called weld sequence.
