Printing and packaging shops move carton boxes all day. The boxes are light but bulky and easy to dent at the corners. Carrying them by hand blocks the view, and stacking them unevenly means extra work to restack.

FullSharp installs an aluminum overhead rail running along the work area, carrying an ENDO hoist fitted with a carton suction tool. The tool grips the top of the box, and the operator lifts and pushes it along the rail straight to its spot.

Aluminum Overhead Rail with ENDO Hoist and Carton Suction Tool

Aluminum overhead rail with ENDO hoist and vacuum suction tool holding a carton box.

Equipment Installed

  • Aluminum rail: an overhead extruded aluminum rail with a smooth-rolling trolley, so pushing boxes takes little effort.
  • ENDO hoist: a Japanese-made hoist that lifts and lowers by hand force and holds the load when released, very light to operate.
  • Carton suction tool: a vacuum pad that grips the sealed lid of the box without leaving marks on the cardboard.
  • Pump and air lines: supply steady vacuum to the tool throughout the shift.

Key Specifications

  • Rail line load200 kg
  • HoistENDO

Benefits for Your Facility

No dented boxes

Suction on the flat lid means no pressure on the carton's sides.

Clear view of placement

The operator stands beside the box instead of carrying it, so stacks line up straighter.

Covers the full rail line

The aluminum rail runs along the work area, so boxes can be picked up and set down at multiple points.

FullSharp weighs the heaviest box, measures the lid size, and checks the required rail length before finalizing the aluminum rail configuration. We build the suction pad to match your carton type, then install and test-run it in your shop.
