Carton Palletizing with a Vacuum Lifter and KITO

FullSharp installed a 5T overhead rail rated 200 kg along a packing area with a FullSharp vacuum lifter and a KITO hand chain hoist for carton boxes. The suction pad grips the top of the box, lifts it straight up and glides along the rail to the pallet, so operators stop bending to hug boxes and crushing their corners.

Carton boxes are light one at a time, but packing a full shift leaves operators sore from bending and reaching non-stop. With no handles on the boxes, every lift means hugging them close, which easily crushes the corners.

FullSharp installed a 5T overhead rail rated at 200 kg running the length of the packing area, carrying a FullSharp vacuum lifter and a KITO hand chain hoist. The suction pad grips the top of the box, lifts it straight up, and glides along the rail to the pallet, so operators no longer bend to hug each box.

Installed Equipment

5T rail rated at 200 kg: overhead mounted, with a trolley running from the box pickup point to the palletizing position.
FullSharp vacuum lifter: suction tube and pad grip the carton surface, lifting and lowering directly from the handle.
KITO hand chain hoist: chain-operated lifting with a load-holding brake, used for the heavier lifts.
Air filter and exhaust valve: filters paper dust before it reaches the vacuum pump, with quick release to drop boxes on rhythm.

Benefits for the Plant

No more bending to hug boxes

The suction pad grips the top of the box while the operator stands upright and guides it with the handle.

Boxes stay uncrushed

Suction is spread across the flat surface, so the sides aren't squeezed during lifting.

Two devices, one line

The vacuum lifter handles light boxes while the KITO hoist backs it up for heavier loads.

Frequently asked questions

How do you lift carton boxes that have no handles?

A suction pad grips the top of the box, so no handle is needed. The operator stands upright and guides the box along the rail.

Does a vacuum lifter protect box corners?

Yes. The box is held by the pad from the top instead of being hugged against the body, so corners are not crushed during lifting, and boxes are set down gently on the pallet.

What is the rail capacity?

The 5T steel rail in this project is rated at 200 kg. FullSharp sets rail length to the distance between packing line and pallets.
