250 kg Jib Crane, ENDO Hoist, Sheet Lifter

Machining shops handle many kinds of flat sheets, from metal to wood and plastic, but all are hard to grip because of thin edges and slick surfaces. Lifting by hand easily bends the sheet, while tying a rope takes time and often leaves marks.

FullSharp installed a 250 kg jib crane with an ENDO hoist and a pneumatic vacuum lifting pad. The operator presses the pad onto the sheet, waits for full vacuum, then lifts; the sheet stays flat and moves straight to the machine table in one motion.

Installed Equipment

250 kg jib crane: the column and swing arm cover the area between the sheet stack and the machine table.
ENDO hoist: smooth lifting and lowering, stopping precisely at the sheet placement height.
Pneumatic vacuum lifting pad: suction cups arranged to match the sheet size, drawing vacuum from the plant's existing compressed air.
Vacuum gauge and alarm: allows lifting only once vacuum is sufficient, and alerts if pressure drops.

Benefits for the Plant

One-motion pickup

Suction, lift, and swing to the machine table flow together with no intermediate support needed.

No surface scratches

The soft rubber pad contacts gently, so painted or wood-finished sheets keep their surface intact.

Single-operator use

The pad keeps the sheet flat, so no second person is needed to support the edges.
