FullSharp installed a 1 ton floor-standing gantry crane with an electric hoist and a battery-powered vacuum lifter for large, brittle cemboard panels in a staging area with no load-bearing ceiling. The hoist travels the full beam to cover the whole stack, and the vacuum pad grips the panel surface evenly, so no cables are threaded underneath.
Cemboard panels are large, heavy, and brittle, so even two people carrying one can easily crack a corner or snap the sheet. The material staging area has no load-bearing ceiling structure, so lifting equipment cannot be hung overhead.
FullSharp installed a 1-ton gantry crane standing on the floor, with a crossbeam carrying an electric hoist that travels the full length to cover the entire stacking area. A battery-powered vacuum lifter grips the panel surface evenly, lifting the whole sheet without threading cables underneath.

Suction force spreads evenly across the surface, so brittle panels stay intact with no pressure on the corners.
The gantry crane stands on the floor, so open-roof warehouses or active construction sites can still use it.
One operator replaces a team of panel carriers, keeping loading and unloading speed consistent.
Grip the board surface with a vacuum lifter that spreads the hold evenly, instead of carrying it by hand or threading slings underneath. The panel is lifted level and does not flex at the corners.
A gantry crane stands on its own legs on the floor, so the load never goes into the roof. In this project a 1 ton gantry covers the whole stacking area.
It runs without a power cable to the pad, so the hoist can travel freely along the beam. FullSharp sizes the pad and battery unit to the real panel size and weight.
FullSharp measures the panel size, thickness, and weight to determine the number of suction cups and the gantry crane's beam span. Our engineers check the floor where the gantry crane will stand and the clear height to finalize the lifting height. Send us the panel specifications and your warehouse layout, and we will propose an installation plan.
