2 Ton Spanco 300 Series Wall-Mounted Jib Crane- Cantilever
| Manufacture Part Number | 300-200 |
|---|---|
| Brand | Spanco |
| Estimated Ship Time | 2-3 Weeks |
Spanco Wall-Mounted Jib Cranes require no floor space and no special foundations. They quickly fold out of the way of large overhead cranes.
Additional features and benefits include:
-Our most economical crane, the Wall-Mounted Supported Jib Crane has no support structure under the boom, so a trolley hoist can travel nearly the full length of the boom.
- Cantilever design transmits less direct force to building column than tie-rod supported jib
-Engineered with a standard I-beam or wide flange beam.
-200° crane rotation
-Up to 20' standard spans; longer spans available
-Holds up to 5 tons

How much actual hook coverage does the 2 Ton Spanco 300 Series Wall-Mounted Jib Crane Cantilever deliver within a 20ft span configuration?
The 20ft overall span figure does n’t equal usable hook coverage. The w orking span is shorter, the trolley cannot reach either end of the beam fully due to end stop positions and trolley length. Engineers should verify a clear working span against their actual work zone before selecting this configuration.
When should engineers specify a wide flange beam over a standard I-beam on the 2 Ton Spanco 300 Series Wall-Mounted Jib Crane Cantilever?
At longer spans within the 2 ton range, wider flange beams provide greater lateral stiffness and reduced mid-span deflection under load. Standard I-beams suit shorter configurations where deflection stays within acceptable limits. A structural engineer should always confirm the beam selection against actual span and lift frequency.
What role do es the bronze bushing and grease fitting swivel connections play in the 2 Ton Spanco 300 Series Wall-Mounted Jib Crane Cantilever's service life?
Every swivel connection on this crane uses bronze bushings paired with grease fittings, a combination that significantly reduces metal-on-metal friction during rotation. Maintenance teams can regrease these points on a scheduled basis, extending service life and keeping boom movement smooth across high-cycle production shifts.
How should plant managers decide between the 2 Ton Spanco 300 Series Wall-Mounted Jib Crane Cantilever and stepping up to a 3 ton model?
Two tons covers the majority of fabrication, die transfer, and maintenance bay lifting without oversizing bracket loads on the mounting column. Stepping to 3 ton only makes sense when loads regularly exceed 3,500lbs. Running the 2 ton at 70% – 80% of its rated capacity also extends component wear life significantly.
Can powered rotation be added to the 2 Ton Spanco 300 Series Wall-Mounted Jib Crane Cantilever after installation if operational needs change?
Yes. Spanco designed the 300 Series to accept a powered rotation drive as a field retrofit, not just at the time of purchase. Operations teams whose lifting frequency increases post-installation can upgrade to motorized boom swing without replacing the crane, protecting the original capital investment.
