500kg Jib Crane with Roll-Upending Tool

Upending a roll of paper, film, or fabric by hand is heavy, risky work. The roll rolls with its own momentum, and even two or three people bracing it can lose grip; a dented edge can ruin the whole roll.

FullSharp installs a 500 kg jib crane with an electric hoist and a core shaft tool that plugs directly into the roll's core. The tool holds the roll firmly, then turns it from horizontal to vertical in one smooth motion, with one person operating from outside the danger zone.

500kg Jib Crane with Electric Hoist and Core Shaft Tool for Upending Rolls

A 500kg jib crane with electric hoist and core shaft tool upending a roll to vertical.

Equipment Installed

Jib crane arm: rotates around a column over a wide radius, moving the roll from pickup to placement.
500 kg electric hoist: smooth lifting, stopping at the exact height needed for the upending motion.
Core shaft tool: a shaft that fits the roll's core, keeping it balanced and preventing slippage during the turn.
Upending mechanism: turns the roll from horizontal to vertical in a controlled motion.
Load-bearing steel structure: the column and arm engineered for a 500 kg load plus the moment generated during upending.

Benefits for Your Workshop

Safe upending

The core shaft holds the roll firmly so it can't roll freely, keeping the operator outside the danger zone.

Preserves roll quality

No bracing or rolling on the floor means edges and surfaces stay largely undamaged.

Faster than manual handling

One person and one machine cycle replace several people turning the roll by hand.

FullSharp needs your roll's core diameter, outer diameter, and weight to build a core shaft that fits snugly. We also survey your pickup and placement points to determine the jib arm's radius.
