How is the 1/4 Ton Advantage FL-WS Series Foundationless Floor Mounted Work Station Jib Crane installed without a poured foundation?
It bolts directly i nto existing concrete, eliminating costly pre-poured footings. The slab should measure at least 6in thick, rated 3,000 PSI , with a crack-free 6ft by 6ft area surrounding the base plate.
How soon can a foundationless workstation jib crane ship after purchase?
Typical production and dispatch take 2-3 weeks from order confirmation. Selected span, hub, rotation stops, and festooning choices may influence timing, so verify availability early when coordinating installation crews and project milestones.
Does the 1/4 Ton Advantage FL-WS Series Foundationless Floor Mounted Work Station Jib Crane include a track and trolley?
Yes. Pricing covers an enclosed track and trolley, so the workstation arrives ready for hoist mounting. This design keeps the load moving smoothly along the boom for repetitive, ergonomic 500lbs handling tasks.
What site requirements should be verified before installing a foundationless jib crane?
A local engineer should confirm that the existing slab and soil meet load specifications: roughly 3,000 PSI concrete and 2,500 PSI soil bearing. Verifying these conditions protects safety, supports warranty validity, and prevents costly post-installation structural corrections in the future.
Where does the 1/4 Ton Advantage FL-WS Series Foundationless Floor Mounted Work Station Jib Crane work best?
It excels in open production floors where one unit can serve several adjacent workstations. The bolt-down, foundationless build suits assembly cells, machine tending, and packaging lines that may later be reconfigured or relocated.
