Heavy lifts.
Tight spaces.
Total control.
JibFlex XL lifts up to 1,200 kg in confined, complex environments with full control and minimal setup.
JibFlex XL is the strong evolution of the JibFlex lifting system, delivering up to 2.5x the lifting capacity of existing configurations while retaining the same compact footprint and articulated flexibility.
Designed for locations where traditional cranes, rigid jib systems, or manual handling fall short, JibFlex XL enables safe, precise and repeatable lifting operations exactly where they’re needed.
What is
JibFlex XL?
Extend your reach.
Control the load.
JibFlex XL is a modular, articulated lifting system designed for controlled handling of heavier components in confined or complex workspaces.
Built on the proven, patented JibFlex design, the XL delivers:
- Capacity: up to 1,200 kg
- Reach: up to 7 m
- Install: temporary or permanent
- Environment: confined & complex spaces
JibFlex XL does not replace cranes or hoists.
It extends their reach, providing precision lifting where rigid systems cannot operate safely or efficiently.
When conventional lifting options are limited
Across wind, oil & gas and maritime operations, lifting challenges often share the same constraints:
- Limited space and restricted access
- Non-linear lifting paths around structures and obstacles
- High reliance on manual handling or complex rigging
- Safety risks during repetitive or awkward lifts
- Time lost mobilising cranes for small but critical operations
JibFlex XL is engineered specifically to solve these problems.
Designed for confined and complex workspaces
The articulated boom geometry of JibFlex XL allows operators to:
- Navigate around structural obstacles
- Lift through hatches and narrow access points
- Execute controlled vertical and horizontal load paths
- Position components precisely at the point of installation
Whether installed temporarily for a specific task or permanently as part of an operational lifting strategy, JibFlex XL integrates seamlessly into existing structures and workflows enabling safer, faster and more predictable lifting operations.
Key benefits that
matter on site
- Lift heavier components without losing flexibility
Handle loads up to 1,200 kg while maintaining the same agility and reach that defines the JibFlex system.
- Reduce manual handling and safety exposure
Minimise awkward lifting, uncontrolled movements and fatigue — supporting improved HSE performance and operator wellbeing.
- Standardise lifting across tasks and sites
The modular system adapts to different environments, anchor points and lifting requirements, reducing equipment variation and simplifying procedures.
- Fast mobilisation, minimal modification
Designed for rapid setup with limited structural changes — ideal for maintenance, shutdowns and retrofit applications.
- Precision where cranes can’t reach
Complement existing cranes and hoists by solving the “last-meter” lifting challenge in congested or enclosed areas.
Industry
applications
Wind Energy
JibFlex XL supports both installation and service operations inside and around wind turbines, enabling safe lifting at service hatches, nacelles and component interfaces.
Typical applications include:
• Yaw gear and yaw puck exchange
• Pitch cylinder and pitch block replacement
• HPU motor and pump handling
• Bolt handling, tightening and tensioning
• Motor replacements and tooling support
With XL capacity, heavier components can now be handled with the same speed and flexibility, supporting retrofit installations and long-term service philosophies.
Oil & Gas - Onshore & Offshore
Oil & gas environments demand absolute control, high safety standards and minimal downtime. JibFlex XL is ideally suited for congested and hazardous areas such as platforms, FPSOs, modules and pump rooms.
Supported operations include:
• Motor, pump and gearbox handling
• Valve and actuator replacement
• Hydraulic power unit support
• Generator and compressor maintenance
• Tooling and pipe component handling
The result: controlled lifting in confined spaces with reduced reliance on manual handling.
Maritime & Offshore Services
In maritime environments, lifting often takes place below deck, in engine rooms or on offshore structures with limited access.
JibFlex XL enables:
• Controlled lifting paths through
narrow access points
• Fast mobilisation during port calls
and time-critical repairs
• Reduced manual handling of heavy
machinery and tools
• Flexible integration with bulkheads,
beams and deck structures
(Floating vessels must be docked
for JibFlex operation.)
