ABSTRACT

A jib crane is a type of crane having cantilevered beam with hoist and trolley and it is either attached to a building column or cantilever vertically from an independent floor mounted column. This project will mainly concentrates floor mounted jib cranes here the trolley hoist moves along the length of the boom and the boom spin allowing the lifted load to be skillfully about in a relatively circular area. While designing a jib crane several factors have to be considered in these most important factors are own weight of the crane, the weight of the goods. The aim of this thesis to carry out detailed design &analysis of jib crane. This project investigates the stress regions in the jib crane with different materials and the work is carried out by designing reinforcement to overcome those stresses in the component. With the analytical design dimensions models are prepared in modeling software and the analysis is performed on the models by finite element solver with suitable conditions and results are compared.
