Description

The column-mounted slewing jib crane ASSISTENT can be used as a versatile workplace crane featuring a capacity of up to 2,000 kg.

Due to its compact design, the crane features a maximum lifting height and is perfectly suitable for small and narrow operating rooms. With its optional electrical slewing gear (only partially available), it provides increased ease of use when operated in the higher capacity / outreach range. The column-mounted crane ASSISTENT perfectly meets your requirements for indoor and outdoor use since column height and jib arm length can be adjusted individually.

Regarding fastening options, you can make your individual choice from comfortable doweling on concrete floor using the patented VETTER DowelPlate system VAS2, fastening on foundation using anchors, TopAnchor, or CompactAnchor, and base flange for fastening on a steel structure.

Moreover, we offer suitable power supply, chain hoists ELECTROLIFT® with electric trolley, radio remote control as well as various other accessories.

This type of slewing crane is also available as wall-mounted slewing jib crane.

Power supply

Round cable

Power lead by cable loop, consisting of round cable and cable supporting tube to be mounted on the jib arm. Pendant control fixed to the hoist. Suitable for an outreach up to 3-5m (Depends on the jib clearance of the jib arm)

Round cable trailing system

Favourable power supply, consisting of round cable, cable trolleys, tensioning rope and suspension arms to fix the supply to the jib arm. Pendant control fixed to the hoist. Recommended for outreachs from 3-10 m (Depends on the jib clearance of the jib arm).

Flat cable trailing system

Robust power supply, consisting of flat cable, cable trolleys, C-rail and suspension arms to fix the supply to the jib arm. Pendant control fixed to the hoist. Standard for an outreach from 10 m or in combination with electrical slewing gear.

Ideal control

The pendant control is independently from the hoist movable on a separate C-rail. Consisting of flat cable, cable trolleys, two C-rails and suspension arms. Especially suitable for situations requiring a distance between operator and load, e.g. when load has to be carried over an obstacle or pit.
