PIVOT PRO™ Articulating Jib Crane

The PIVOT PRO™ is a specialized articulating jib crane designed for loads under 150 lbs. It features a lightweight, ergonomic design that reduces physical stress and injury risk while increasing productivity through easier load positioning.

Key Features

  • 360° non-continuous rotation on free standing models; 200° boom rotation and 300° secondary arm rotation on wall mounted models
  • Reduced effort to start and stop boom rotation, enhancing safety and reducing worker fatigue
  • Compatible with all major OEM vacuum tube lifters
  • No foundation required; bolts to any 6" floor or optional portable base with fork pockets for mobility
  • Sealed tubes eliminate festooning issues and improve vacuum hose reliability
  • Multiple rotation stops allow customization of coverage area

Applications and Benefits

Ideal for palletizing and material handling tasks where loads weigh between 50 and 150 lbs. The PIVOT PRO™ improves operator comfort and efficiency by enabling easier movement of loads close to the jib mast, reducing boom resistance compared to traditional jib cranes. It also lowers maintenance needs by minimizing vacuum hose wear.

Model Specifications and Options

Models vary by capacity (50, 75, 100, 150 lbs), span (8, 10, 12 feet), and mounting style (wall mounted or free standing). Optional accessories include portable bases, filter brackets, vacuum pump platforms, and smart hooks for tool management.

PIVOT PRO? Articulating Jib Crane-4

PIVOT PRO™ In Action BUSINESS Pump Manufacturer APPLICATION Finished goods are moved through packaging lines, where they are prepared for shipping. The loaded boxes weigh between 85 and 100 pounds and come into the work cell on a conveyor so that the operators can palletize them. WHY PIVOT PRO™? The PIVOT PRO™ makes the palletizing less strenuous for workers. They are able to move the boxes with less effort because they are not moving the entire length of a jib crane boom. The PIVOT PRO™ also reduced the need for maintenance versus the previous vacuum lifter, which often saw cuts and tears along...
