Portable Bases for Jib Cranes
Our portable jib crane bases are the ideal solution for applications where installing a footing or epoxy bolts in a concrete floor simply isn't an option. Portable jib cranes are perfect for work areas that require the crane to move between multiple locations — adding versatility and eliminating the need for permanent installations at every station. All of our portable base jib cranes are convertible and can be detached from the base and mounted permanently to the floor when your needs change.
Portable base jib cranes also make a great complement to larger overhead cranes, handling lifts in areas the bridge crane can't efficiently reach. Most portable bases include fork pockets, leveling feet, and mast mounting hardware for easy relocation by forklift or pallet jack.
Below are the jib crane models that offer portable base configurations:
Buy Portable Light Duty Jibs
The Gorbel TSJ150 Tool Solution Jib with portable base is designed for light-duty lifting and tool suspension in tight workspaces. With capacities up to 150 lbs. and spans up to 12 feet, the TSJ150's slim profile and small footprint make it ideal for installation between machines or in areas where floor space is limited. The optional portable base features a square steel plate with mast mounting hardware, leveling feet, and fork pockets — allowing the crane to be relocated anywhere in your facility with a forklift or pallet jack, no concrete anchoring required.
Buy Portable Work Station Jibs
The Gorbel WSJ360 Work Station Jib with portable base offers up to 1,000 lbs. of capacity with 360° rotation and the flexibility to move the crane to wherever it's needed. The portable base is designed to be lifted and transported by forklift, giving you full coverage across multiple work areas without the cost of multiple permanent installations. No special foundation or floor anchoring is required, making the WSJ360 portable base an excellent solution for facilities where floor conditions or layout changes make permanent mounting impractical.
Buy Portable Articulating Jibs
The Gorbel AJ360-F Free Standing Articulating Jib Crane brings the reach and flexibility of an articulating arm to applications where no wall or column mount is available. With capacities up to 2,000 lbs. and spans up to 16 feet, it's well suited for positioning loads around obstructions, through open doorways, or into machines — in areas that a traditional jib simply can't serve.
Custom Engineered Portable Bases
Not every application fits a standard portable base configuration. For jib crane models that don't offer a catalog portable base option — or for facilities with unique capacity requirements, floor conditions, or space constraints — TSOC's in-house engineering team can design a custom solution. With decades of experience solving real-world material handling challenges, we've helped facilities across the country optimize their workspaces with purpose-built portable base designs tailored to their exact application.
