Drill-Free Carton Loading with a Mobile 5T Jib Crane

FullSharp built a 5T rail jib crane on a mobile base with load-rated wheels and outriggers, fitted with a vacuum lifter and carton pad, for a warehouse that loads boxes at different spots with each batch. To change area, the unit is pushed over and the outriggers lowered, so no floor is drilled and corners no longer get dented by hand carrying.

Many warehouses need to load and unload carton boxes at different locations depending on the batch. Installing a fixed crane only serves one spot, while carrying boxes by hand quickly tires workers and dents the corners.

FullSharp built a 5T rail jib crane on a mobile base with load-rated wheels, fitted with a vacuum lifter and a pad for carton boxes. To change area, simply push the whole unit over and lower the outriggers to keep working.

Installed Equipment

Mobile base: a load-rated frame with wheels and outriggers, pushed into place and locked before use.
5T rail jib crane: wide-swing arm and long reach, covering both the pickup area and the pallet stacking area.
Vacuum lifter: tube and handle in one unit, raised and lowered by the operator's hand movement.
Pad for carton boxes: a wide suction surface grips evenly on the box lid without tearing the paper layer.
Vacuum pump: runs steadily, maintaining a firm grip throughout box handling.

Benefits for Your Factory

No floor drilling

The mobile base stands on its own, so there is no need to anchor bolts or attach to ceiling structures.

Usable in multiple locations

Push the unit to follow each batch — one unit serves several areas of the warehouse.

Boxes stay undamaged

Even suction across the box surface keeps cartons intact, shape and labels included.

Frequently asked questions

Can a jib crane be moved between loading areas?

Yes, when it stands on a mobile base. The base in this project has load-rated wheels and outriggers, so it is pushed to the new area and the outriggers are lowered before lifting.

Why not install a fixed crane?

A fixed crane only serves one spot. When the loading location changes with every batch, a mobile crane keeps up without drilling the floor.

Where is a mobile carton lifter used?

Packaging and finished goods warehouses, packing lines that relocate by batch and pallet stacking areas. FullSharp matches the pad to the real cartons.
