What We Build

Three crane categories.
Infinite configurations.

Every system engineered to the application — not picked off a shelf.

Bridge / Overhead Crane

Bridge / Overhead

The workhorse of serious manufacturing. Bridge cranes ride overhead runways to cover your entire bay — freeing the floor for production and handling capacities off-the-shelf can't touch.

  • Top-running and under-running configurations
  • Capacities from a few tons to 100+ tons
  • Single-girder and double-girder designs
  • Indoor, outdoor, hazardous, high-heat builds

Jib Crane

Jib Crane

Ideal for workstations, machining cells, and assembly lines that need fast, repeatable lifts in a defined area. Built to fit around existing equipment, not the other way around.

  • Free-standing, wall-mounted, mast-style
  • Up to 360° rotation
  • Capacities from 250 lbs to 10+ tons
  • Articulating and Telescoping options for tight radius applications

Workstation Crane

Workstation Cranes

Enclosed-track systems designed for ergonomic, repeatable lifts at individual workstations. One operator can move loads that used to take three — safer, faster, with less fatigue.

  • Ceiling-mounted and free-standing options
  • Capacities up to 4,000 lbs
  • Modular — expand the track as your floor grows
  • Ideal for automotive, aerospace, assembly

RTG Crane

RTG Crane

Ideal for industrial and marine applications that require powerful, flexible lifting without fixed runway structures. Available in diesel or fully electric configurations, including zero-emission options.

  • Rubber-tired gantry design
  • Capacities from 5 to 500+ tons
  • Diesel or full-electric power
  • 4-wheel steering and drive options

The JBS Process

You call. We solve.
You run the system.

Turnkey Installers — no relay races, no finger-pointing.

60+ Years In Business Since 1966
Step 01

Diagnose

We don't ask what you want to buy. We ask what you're trying to lift, where, how often, and in what conditions. Hazardous atmosphere gases, high heat, corrosives — those answers drive everything.

Step 02

Engineer

With 35+ manufacturers behind us, we spec the exact system for your application. CMAA & ASME BTH-1 compliant when you need it. Custom when catalog won't cut it.

Step 03

Turnkey Install

Our crews install the system, run the load tests, and handle compliance paperwork. One team, start to finish.

Step 04

Handoff

We leave with the system running and can offer operator training if desired.

Engineered for the Conditions

Hazardous atmosphere?High heat? Corrosive chemicals?

Most crane dealers sell you what's on the shelf. We engineer what your environment demands. If your facility can't use a standard crane, we're the call.
