FullSharp installed an aluminum rail jib crane with an Anver vacuum lifter to move hundreds of heavy rubber bale bags per shift from pallets into the machine. The suction head grips the slick, sticky bag surface securely, a single lever controls lifting and lowering, and the light aluminum rail lets the trolley move with a light push.
Rubber bale bags are heavy, with a slick, sticky surface that makes them hard for workers to grip securely. Each shift requires moving hundreds of bags from pallets into the machine, so the back and shoulders take constant strain. If a bag slips from someone's arms, it drops straight onto their feet, and the risk of injury is always present.
FullSharp installed an aluminum rail jib crane carrying an Anver vacuum lifter. The lightweight aluminum rail lets the trolley roll smoothly, so a light push moves the whole assembly. The suction head grips the bag surface and lifts it, and the operator only guides the direction instead of carrying the load.

Equipment Installed
- Aluminum rail: lighter than a steel beam of the same span, so the trolley needs very little push force and the operation is far less tiring.
- Rotating arm: sweeps the working area between the pallet and the feed point, bringing the bag exactly where it needs to go.
- Anver vacuum lifter: a vacuum tube lifter that generates strong, stable suction, with lifting and lowering controlled by a single lever on the handle.
- Suction head for soft bags: the pad is designed for woven bag surfaces, gripping firmly even when the bag is not perfectly flat.
- Structural mounting kit: fixed to the ceiling or a freestanding frame, spreading the load evenly and keeping the rail at the correct height.
Benefits for Your Facility
No More Carrying Bags by Hand
The load rests on the vacuum lifter, so workers no longer have to hug bags against their bodies while moving them.
Light Push with Aluminum Rail
The aluminum rail gives low rolling resistance, letting one person push the full span without exerting much effort.
Fewer Drops
Bags are held by vacuum instead of by hand, so they no longer slip loose along the way.

- Feeding bale bags into calendering or mixing machines
- Material warehouses loading and unloading bags onto pallets
- Workshops handling heavy woven bags

Frequently asked questions
How do you lift slippery rubber bale bags?
A vacuum tube lifter grips the bag surface with strong, stable suction, so workers do not have to hug a slippery bag that can drop onto their feet.
Why use an aluminum rail instead of a steel beam?
For the same span an aluminum rail is lighter, so the trolley needs very little push force and the operator tires far less over a shift.
How is the Anver vacuum lifter controlled?
Lifting and lowering are controlled with a single lever on the handle, so the operator grips, lifts, swings and releases the bag in one continuous motion.

Installation Consultation for Your Facility
FullSharp weighs a real bag and checks its surface to choose the right tube diameter and the suction head that grips best. Our engineers measure the rotation radius between the pallet and the machine and inspect the overhead mounting structure. Contact FullSharp to schedule a site survey at your plant.
