Pillar-Mounted Slewing Jib Crane BETA 500 - Foundation Mounted

Are you looking for a highly ergonomic and responsive lifting solution, but your existing floor lacks the required load-bearing capacity? The BETA 500 pillar-mounted slewing jib crane (foundation-mounted) from CranePlex provides the ultimate stability for fast-paced, repetitive manual handling tasks. By anchoring the crane into a dedicated concrete foundation block, this lightweight workstation crane guarantees maximum safety and efficiency, regardless of your facility's existing floor conditions.

With a flexible Working Load Limit (WLL) ranging from 63 kg to 1000 kg and an outreach of up to 6 metres, the BETA 500 provides exceptional load control across a generous 270° slewing range.

Uncompromising Safety & Build Quality

BETA 500 guarantees exceptional durability. The support column, constructed from heavy-duty steel pipe, can be specifically adapted in both height and diameter to suit your facility's requirements.

For maximum longevity in demanding environments, the entire structure undergoes rigorous machine shot-blasting before being finished with a premium two-layer anti-corrosion spray painting system.

 Ideal Applications (Where to use it)

Thanks to its lightweight jib profile, smooth manual slewing motion, and robust foundation mounting, the BETA 500 is perfectly suited for diverse industrial and commercial environments, both indoors and outdoors:

• Production halls and manufacturing facilities: Ergonomically feeding small to medium parts into CNC machines, lathes, and presses where standard floor mounting is not viable.
• Assembly lines and workstations: Assisting operators with repetitive lifting of components, significantly reducing operator fatigue and the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
• Warehouses and packing stations: Streamlining the lifting of parcels, small crates, and individual goods during the packing and dispatch process.
• Outdoor loading bays and yards: Safely moving materials outside, securely anchored into a dedicated ground foundation.
• Workshops and maintenance depots: Assisting mechanics in lifting lighter engine components or tooling during repairs.

The Method of Fixing the Pole Crane

Proper installation of the Pillar-mounted slewing jib crane BETA 500 attachment to the foundation is crucial for operational safety.

• Customer Responsibility: The foundation is a separate building structure that is not part of the crane's commercial offer. Preparation of a suitable reinforced foundation with anchors is the responsibility of the customer.
• Design Compliance: The foundation requires a construction project that takes into account load guidelines, geological, and technical-utility conditions. It is required to follow the procedures prescribed by the building regulations.
• Anchor Positioning: A sheet metal template is supplied with the crane to allow precise positioning of anchors in the foundation when pouring the concrete.
• Cable Management: It is possible to run power or signal cables through a cable duct sunk in the foundation in the axis of the crane support column.
