About this asset

This yellow steel overbraced jib crane with an integrated hoist is a Revit family featuring a robust industrial design. Constructed from heavy-duty yellow painted steel, this overbraced jib crane is engineered for industrial material handling. The assembly includes a vertical column with a reinforced base plate, a horizontal jib arm supported by an upper diagonal brace, and a suspended electric hoist unit with a steel chain and hook. The geometry captures the structural I-beam profile of the jib and the mechanical housing of the hoist. It is designed to represent a fixed-position lifting solution, providing clear visual and spatial information for site planning and industrial facility modelling workflows.

The download is a 3.2 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family is typically placed on a floor level or slab foundation. Users should check the host requirements to ensure proper alignment with the structural model. The asset can be used for spatial coordination, ensuring sufficient clearance for the rotating arm and hoist movement. It is recommended to manage the model's complexity by using subcategories to control the visibility of the chain and hook components in plan, section, and 3D views during documentation and project coordination phases.

This asset is suitable for industrial facility design, warehouse layouts, and manufacturing plant projects. It is frequently employed by engineers and architects to designate lifting zones, calculate service radii, and coordinate MEP overhead clearances. Professionals searching for industrial lifting equipment, workshop machinery, or factory floor assets will find this model useful for detailed spatial planning. It integrates effectively into BIM models where material handling logistics, maintenance access, and heavy machinery placement are critical project requirements for operational efficiency and safety compliance.
