Carton Loading Without Dents on a 5T Rail Jib Crane

FullSharp installed a jib crane on a 5T rail with a vacuum tube lifter and a carton pad for packaging warehouses and paper mills that stack boxes from the line onto pallets all day. A light press makes the pad grip, the operator swings the arm to the pallet, and boxes stop slipping or getting dented corners.

Packaging warehouses and paper mills must stack carton boxes continuously from the line onto pallets. The boxes are bulky, handling them by hand causes slipping and denting at the corners, and after long hours workers' shoulders tire and speed drops.

FullSharp installed a jib crane on a 5T rail fitted with a vacuum tube lifter and a pad designed for carton boxes. The operator presses the pad against the box surface, a light press makes it grip firmly, and then swings the arm to place the box on the pallet.

Installed Equipment

5T rail jib crane: column with a wide-swing arm, opening up a large working radius around the post.
Vacuum tube lifter: lifts and lowers using vacuum inside the tube, with the handle and pad forming a single unit.
Pad for carton boxes: the suction surface hugs the carton closely, holding it firmly without leaving marks on the box.
Vacuum pump: runs continuously, maintaining stable vacuum throughout the shift.
Steel frame and mounting: powder-coated for rust resistance, fixed to match the layout of the packing area.

Frequently asked questions

How does a vacuum tube lifter grip a carton?

The suction surface hugs the carton and a light press makes it grip firmly. The tube then lifts and lowers using vacuum, with handle and pad as one unit.

Will the pad leave marks on boxes?

No. The carton pad hugs the box closely and holds it firmly without leaving marks on the surface. FullSharp sizes the pad to the real box dimensions and weight.

How large a radius does the jib cover?

The arm swings wide around the column, opening a large working radius that covers the line exit and the pallets, so one operator handles the full stacking cycle.
