Installing a 4 Ton Pillar Jib Crane | Workshop Floor Mounted Project
Video Introduction
Hey everyone, and welcome back to the channel! Today, we're tackling a really exciting project—installing a brand new 4-ton pillar mounted jib crane right here in our workshop.
If you've ever struggled with moving heavy equipment or materials around the shop, you know how exhausting—and honestly, how risky—it can be. That's exactly why we decided to bring in this floor-mounted jib crane. It's going to give us safe, reliable lifting power and make our workflow so much smoother.
In this video, I'm taking you along for the whole ride. We'll start from the very beginning—digging the foundation and pouring concrete—all the way through to the final assembly and testing. You'll see how we anchor the pillar, attach the boom, and make sure everything is perfectly aligned.
So whether you're planning a similar installation for your own shop or you're just curious about how these heavy-duty cranes go together, stick around. There's a lot to cover, and I think you're going to find this one really helpful. Let's get started!
Here's a quick preview of what we'll show you in this video:
- Getting the foundation right – We'll walk you through digging the hole, building the rebar cage, and setting the anchor bolts with laser precision. Trust me, getting this step perfect is everything—a solid base means a safe crane.
- Lifting and assembling the crane – Once the concrete cured, the real fun began. Watch as we hoist the heavy steel pillar into place, bolt it down, and check for perfect vertical alignment. Then we attach the cantilever boom on top, piece by piece.
- The final result – After all that hard work, we finally get to see it in action. This 4-ton jib crane rotates a full 360 degrees, making it incredibly easy to move heavy loads exactly where we need them—safely, smoothly, and with way less effort than before.
