FullSharp installed an 80 kg pneumatic jib crane with a hook tool made for plastic trays, for stacks above head height where workers had to reach up and risked tipping the contents. Lifting runs entirely on compressed air, quiet and with no electrical equipment at the work point: hook the tray, flip the lever and swing it into place.

Plastic trays are not especially heavy, but they still have to be lifted and set down continuously throughout the shift. Stacked trays sit above head height, forcing workers to reach up, which tires the arms and risks tipping the contents. The area also restricts electrical equipment at the point of operation.

FullSharp installed an 80 kg pneumatic jib crane fitted with a hook tool built specifically for plastic trays. Lifting runs entirely on compressed air, so it is quiet and has no electrical equipment at the point of operation. Hook the tray, flip the lever to lift it, then swing the arm to bring it to the stacking position.

80 kg Pneumatic Jib Crane for Lifting Plastic Trays

An 80 kg pneumatic jib crane with a plastic tray hook tool, installed in a loading area of the factory.

Equipment Installed

  • Column and swing arm: sweeps the work zone between the tray pickup point and the stacking point, swinging freely by hand.
  • Pneumatic lifting mechanism: runs on the plant's compressed air, lifting smoothly and holding at any height.
  • Plastic tray hook tool: shaped to match the tray's rim and handle, engaging quickly and holding firm during lifting.
  • Control lever: mounted right on the tool, letting one hand control lifting, lowering, and stopping.
  • Load-holding valve: keeps the tray in place if air pressure drops, preventing it from falling.

Key Specifications

  • Lifting capacity80 kg
  • Drive typePneumatic

Benefits for the Factory

No reaching overhead

The unit brings each tray to the exact stacking height so workers keep a safe posture.

No electrical equipment on site

Only compressed air is used at the operating point, suited to areas that restrict electrical equipment.

Faster loading and unloading

Hook on and flip the lever to complete one cycle, keeping a steady pace throughout the shift.

Suitable Applications

  • Production lines using plastic trays for semi-finished goods
  • Loading areas stacking trays onto racks or pallets
  • Food and electronics plants using standard trays
  • Areas that restrict electrical equipment at the operating point

Frequently asked questions

How do you lift trays stacked above head height?

Use a jib crane with a tray hook. The operator hooks the tray rim, lifts with a lever and swings the arm, so nobody reaches up with a full tray.

Can a jib crane work without electricity at the work point?

Yes. A pneumatic jib crane runs on compressed air, so no electrical equipment is needed where the operator works. It is also quiet.

What capacity does this jib crane have?

The crane in this project lifts 80 kg, which covers full plastic trays with room to spare. FullSharp shapes the hook to the real tray rim and stack height.

Installation Consultation for Your Factory

FullSharp measures the full tray weight, tray dimensions, and stacking height to design a hook tool that engages snugly. Our engineers check the required swing radius and available air pressure. Contact FullSharp to schedule a site survey.
