Aluminum Rail Jib Crane, Becker Vacuum

The customer's packing area changes location with each batch, so a single fixed lifting point does not work. Carton boxes have to be carried by hand from pallet to packing table, and doing this all shift tires workers out and lets corners get crushed. The warehouse floor also does not allow pouring a foundation for a fixed post.

FullSharp installed a jib crane using an aluminum rail on a mobile base, which can be pushed to wherever work is happening. The lightweight aluminum rail lets the trolley roll very smoothly, so pushing takes little effort. A Becker vacuum motor provides steady suction, holding the carton firmly throughout the lift.

A mobile-base jib crane with an aluminum rail and a Becker vacuum motor, used to lift carton boxes in the warehouse.

Equipment Installed

Aluminum rail: a lightweight aluminum profile with low rolling resistance, so the trolley and load move with just a light push.
Mobile base: a wheeled frame that lets the whole system move to another area without pouring a foundation or drilling the floor.
Becker vacuum motor: runs continuously with steady suction so the carton never slips mid-lift.
Vacuum pad for cartons: a soft suction surface that grips the carton lid firmly without denting the board.
Control handle on the pad: a lift/lower lever within easy reach, letting one person run the whole cycle.

Benefits for the Factory

Keeps up with a changing layout

The mobile base moves the unit to wherever packing is happening instead of staying fixed in one spot.

Light push thanks to aluminum rail

The aluminum rail lowers rolling resistance so hands stay fresh through a full shift.

Cartons keep their shape

Vacuum suction on a flat surface means the carton is never squeezed or torn at the corners.
