Low Headroom Jib Cranes
Smart Lifting Solutions for Confined Spaces
If your workspace has height restrictions or limited ceiling clearance, our low headroom jib cranes are the perfect solution. Designed to maximise lifting capacity in the tightest of spaces, these compact crane systems provide reliable and efficient lifting without compromising on safety or performance.
At Vacuum Lifting Australia, we supply and customise low-profile jib cranes that are fully compatible with our extensive range of vacuum lifting systems, helping you handle loads with ease – even in the most constrained environments.
What is a Low Headroom Jib Crane?
A low headroom jib crane is a slewing crane specifically engineered for areas with limited vertical clearance. By utilising reduced boom height, compact hoist dimensions, and cleverly integrated trolleys, these cranes allow you to lift, rotate, and position loads close to the ceiling or overhead obstacles.
Ideal for:
- Low-ceiling warehouses and workshops
- Underground facilities or mezzanine areas
- Locations with building structure height limitations
- Areas where standard jib cranes can’t be installed
