Supplier Overview
Henan Yuntian Crane Co., Ltd. is not a startup. The company’s product line stretches from overhead and gantry cranes to marine lifting systems — a portfolio that suggests the 500 kg cantilever jib benefits from broader heavy-lift manufacturing practice. Based in Henan, China, Yuntian ships with video outgoing-inspection documentation and a machinery test report by default. The jib carries CE, GOST, and ISO 14001 / OHSAS 18001 certificates, which helps buyers clear customs and meet internal safety compliance without extra surcharges.
For procurement teams shortlisting a light-duty slewing crane, supplier credibility often hinges on after-sales warranty and replaceable parts availability. The one-year warranty is typical, and buyers should clarify which components are included at the PO stage.
Where a 500 kg Slewing Jib Fits
The listed applications — warehouse, workshop, and stock yard — are self-explanatory, but the nuance matters. A 4 m lift height makes this unit suitable for positioning machine parts onto workbenches, loading light pallets into racking, or moving tooling between a CNC and an inspection table. The 100 kg net weight of the crane itself means it can be anchored to an existing concrete floor without a reinforced foundation in most cases, cutting installation time.
In cold storage or outdoor stock yards, the -25° to +40°C working temperature range allows year-round use in many climates, provided electrical enclosures are spec'd accordingly. Buyers who need explosion-proof or food-grade environments should confirm material options directly, as the default Q235B manganese steel and Schneider/Siemens electrics are suitable for general industrial conditions.
Specs That Matter to Buyers
What distinguishes a procurement-friendly listing from a datasheet is whether the specs translate into an operational advantage. Yuntian’s SKU makes a few choices visible:
- Feature:0–360° slewing angle (adjustable)
Buyer Advantage:Floor-area coverage can be dialled back or extended per workstation layout, avoiding wasted movement. - Feature:Q235B manganese steel main structure
Buyer Advantage:Pre-certified strength and weldability, common in structural steel, which simplifies third-party inspection. - Feature:Weight overload and current overload protection included
Buyer Advantage:Two safety layers without extra cost; reduces the chance of motor burn-out or structural overstrain. - Feature:Schneider or Siemens electrical components
Buyer Advantage:Globally available spare parts network, cutting downtime compared with proprietary electronics.
Rated lifting capacity runs from 0.25 t to 5 t across the Yuntian jib range, so the 500 kg version slots into the light end. Span and lifting moment are configurable per order — buyers should submit a floor plan with their RFQ to get an accurate moment rating.
OEM and Customisation Levers
Limited OEM information does not mean no flexibility. The supplier lists span, lifting moment, and slewing angle as “according to your demand,” which opens the door for tailored jib arm lengths or restricted rotation arcs. The electrical brand choice (Schneider or Siemens) appears fixed, but contacting the engineering department about alternative brands, IP ratings, or control voltage is a standard step before issuing a PO.
Since Yuntian also manufactures gantry and overhead cranes, buyers needing a combined order — say, a 500 kg jib plus a 2 t overhead hoist — may secure better freight and after-sales coordination. Ask about packaging: the listing shows single-unit wooden case or similar, but multiple items can be consolidated.
Buyer FAQs
- Q: Is a test report available before shipment?A: Yes. Yuntian provides both a machinery test report and a video outgoing-inspection record for each unit.
- Q: What certifications does this jib crane hold?A: CE, GOST, ISO 14001:2004 (environmental management), and OHSAS 18001 (occupational health and safety) appear on the certificate list.
- Q: Is there a minimum order quantity?A: The seller lists “Single item” as the selling unit, implying no formal MOQ. Bulk pricing can be discussed with the export team.
Sourcing Next Steps
At a listed price of US$1,500.00 per unit, the 500 kg cantilever jib sits in an accessible bracket for small-to-mid-size procurement budgets. Before committing, take these steps:
- Request the full technical file: detail sheet with dimensional drawings, electrical schematics, and SWL plate photo.
- Confirm certification copies: ask for current CE and GOST certificates — especially if European or EAC market access is required.
- Clarify lead time and freight terms: factor in Henan port logistics and whether the supplier handles FOB or EXW.
- Arrange a live video inspection: the outgoing-inspection video is useful, but a live walkaround can verify serial numbers and weld quality.
- Discuss OEM options: if a non-standard slewing range, custom boom length, or special paint is needed, include those specs in the initial RFQ to avoid mid-order redesign fees.
Procurement Note
This brief is based solely on the supplier’s published specifications and does not include independent performance validation. Trade terms, warranty enforceability, and local regulation compliance remain the buyer’s responsibility. Always verify the seller’s export licence and review a sample contract before transferring a deposit.
