FullSharp installed a 5T overhead rail rated 200 kg from the line to the staging area of a packaging plant, with a KITO hoist and a vacuum lifting pad for carton boxes. The pad grips the flat top of the carton, the hoist lifts it and the operator pushes it along the rail, so corners stay intact and no forklift is needed in the narrow aisles.
Cartons in a packaging plant aren't huge, but they need loading and unloading continuously through the shift. Carrying them by hand dents the corners easily, and workers' backs tire fast. Narrow aisles between racks also leave no room for a forklift to turn.
FullSharp installed a 5T overhead rail, rated at 200 kg, running from the line to the staging area. A KITO hoist rides the rail, with a vacuum lifting pad mounted below it, pressing onto the flat top of the carton. The carton is held by suction, lifted, and pushed along the rail — no manual carrying required.

The pad grips the flat surface evenly, so corners aren't squeezed and walls don't tear.
Suction, lift, and push are three seamless steps, letting one person keep the whole line moving.
The whole system hangs overhead, leaving the aisle between racks wide enough for carts to pass.
An overhead rail carries the lifter above the aisle, so cartons are lifted and pushed along the route without any vehicle on the floor.
The pad grips the flat surface evenly, so corners are not squeezed and walls do not tear the way they can when boxes are carried by hand.
The 5T steel rail in this project is rated at 200 kg. FullSharp sizes rail and hoist to the heaviest carton and the route length.
FullSharp visits the plant to measure the rail run, mounting height, and roof structure to finalize the anchor points. Our technicians weigh actual cartons and check the suction surface and seal quality of the carton material to select the right pad size. We then finalize the rail, hoist, and vacuum pump plan along with the installation timeline.
