While there are numerous types of floor-mounted jib cranes, the most popular is a free-standing floor-mounted jib crane as it is constructed to stand on its own in the middle (or on the side) of your factory floor without reinforcements. A floor-mounted jib crane typically fas a reach of 25 feet.

While called wall-mounted jib cranes, most of these jib cranes are actually mounted to a steel column. A wall-mounted jib crane is often a tie-rod jib crane, where the tie-rod is mounted to the wall above the boom and tied at the far end of the boom to support the weight.  The wall-mounted jib-crane can also be a wall-cantilever jib crane, whereas a beam is used without a lead supporting tie-rod.
