Pillar-Mounted Slewing Jib Crane BETA 500 - Floor Mounted

Are you looking for a compact, highly responsive, and ergonomic lifting solution for lighter loads? The BETA 500 pillar-mounted slewing jib crane (floor-mounted) from CranePlex guarantees maximum efficiency and safety for rapid, repetitive manual handling tasks. Manufactured in the European Union and Fully UKCA marked  from high-grade steel, this lightweight workstation crane is the perfect tool to reduce operator fatigue and boost daily productivity.

Boasting a Working Load Limit (WLL) ranging from 63 kg to 1000 kg and a versatile outreach of 1 to 6 metres, the BETA 500 combines smooth 270° manual slewing with the heavy-lifting power of an electric chain hoist. The standard pillar height (Hp) is 2500 mm, though bespoke dimensions can easily be accommodated upon request.

Ideal Applications (Where to use it)

Thanks to its lightweight jib profile and exceptionally smooth slewing motion, the BETA 500 is perfectly suited for fast-paced industrial and commercial environments:

• Assembly lines and workstations: Assisting operators with repetitive lifting of components, significantly reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
• Production halls and manufacturing facilities: Ergonomically feeding small to medium parts into CNC machines, lathes, presses, and processing equipment.
• Warehouses and packing stations: Streamlining the lifting of parcels, small crates, and individual goods during the packing and dispatch process.
• Workshops and maintenance depots: Assisting mechanics in lifting lighter engine components, tools, or equipment during repairs.
• Quality control zones: Moving products onto inspection tables seamlessly and safely.

Key Features & Build Quality:

• Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-strength steel. The support column features a heavy-duty steel pipe design, engineered for maximum stability.
• Corrosion Resistance: Built for longevity in tough environments, featuring professional machine shot-blasting and a highly durable two-layer spray painting process.
• Flexible Operation: The electric hoist and manual trolley are controlled via an attached pendant cassette (or optionally as a separate control unit) for safe, ergonomic handling.
• Fully Certified & Compliant: Engineered to meet rigorous UK and European safety standards:

        - BS EN 13001

        - BS EN 60204-32

        - Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008

        - UKCA Approved & Made in the EU

Recommended Optional Hoist Equipment:

To ensure your BETA 500 crane performs perfectly, Craneplex offers telectric chain hoist and manual trolley combinations. Both options require a standard 400V three-phase power supply.

Bespoke Customisation & Add-Ons:

We can tailor the BETA 500 to seamlessly integrate into your workflow:

• Custom Heights: Need a pillar height other than the standard 2500 mm? We can adapt the height and diameter to your specific requirements.
• Working Area Limitation: A permanent SO arm rotation limiter is fitted as standard. For highly restrictive workspaces, an adjustable SO arm rotation limiter is available as an option.
• Additional Electrical Socket: We can install an extra electrical socket at the hoist to power suspended attachments, such as vacuum grippers featuring an electric pump.
• Outdoor adaptation (Weatherproofing): Planning to install the crane outside? We offer tailored adaptations for harsh outdoor conditions, including specialised marine-grade anti-corrosion paint systems (e.g., C3/C4), and weatherproof covers to protect electrical components and hoists from the elements.

Installation & Concrete Floor Fastening:

The BETA 500 is designed for robust and secure fastening directly to a concrete floor.

• Fixing Method: The crane is secured via a heavy-duty steel intermediate plate mounted on chemical anchors.
• Project-Based Installation: Installation of the intermediate plate is carried out strictly on a project basis.
• Structural Requirements: Customers must provide documentation confirming the structural strength of the concrete floor to ensure it meets the necessary load guidelines.

Please Note: The listed price does not include installation costs or the required chemical anchors.
