Delivering Smart Lifting Solutions: Lift‑Rite Supplies Custom Jib Arm to North East Blue-Chip Client
At Lift‑Rite, we pride ourselves on solving complex lifting challenges with engineered precision, practical expertise, and a client-first approach. A recent project for a leading blue-chip client in the North East of England highlights our commitment to tailored lifting solutions backed by robust engineering and deep rigging knowledge.
The Challenge: Precision Lifting in a Confined Testing Environment
Our client operates a highly controlled test facility where product samples are frequently moved in and out of a test pit. Space was tight, the operation had to be safe and repeatable, and the lifting solution needed to be compact yet structurally sound.
To meet this, Lift-Rite was tasked with designing and supplying a wall-mounted jib arm that could swing in and out of position to safely handle samples. Unlike standard off-the-shelf systems, this project required a bespoke approach to ensure operational safety, optimal reach, and load stability within a constrained working environment.
The Solution: FEA-Driven, Custom-Designed Wall-Mounted Jib Arm
Using our in-house engineering capability, Lift‑Rite developed a custom jib arm that was securely mounted to a structural wall, with a swinging boom that allowed the operator to precisely position samples over the test pit and retract when not in use.
To validate the design, our engineers conducted a full Finite Element Analysis (FEA)—a critical step in confirming the system’s structural integrity under various load conditions. This analysis ensured that all components could safely handle the working load limit (WLL) while maintaining the necessary safety factors.
Engineering Meets Practical Rigging Know-How
What sets Lift‑Rite apart is our ability to combine engineering accuracy with real-world lifting experience. Our team used extensive rigging knowledge to optimise the lifting geometry, swing radius, and lifting path—ensuring the solution was not only technically sound but also operator-friendly.
The result was a compact, efficient, and safe lifting system designed specifically for the client’s operational needs. Every detail—from the swing angle to the choice of anchor bolts—was carefully considered to provide long-term reliability and safety.
