DESIGNING AND MODELING OF A FLOOR-MOUNTED JIB CRANE

A jib crane is a type of crane with a cantilever beam, hoist, and trolley that is either attached to a building column or cantilevers vertically from an independent floor-mounted column.This study will primarily focus on floor-mounted jib cranes, in which the trolley hoist moves down the length of the boom and the boom spins, allowing the hoisted load to be skillfully moved in a generally circular area.When building a jib crane, numerous aspects must be considered.The most essential are the crane's own weight and the weight of the items.The purpose of this thesis is to carry out detailed design and analysis of a jib crane.This study studies the stress regions in the jib crane using various materials, and the job is completed by designing reinforcement to overcome such stresses in the component.Models are created in modeling software using the analytical design dimensions, and the models are analyzed using a finite element solver under appropriate conditions, with the results compared.
