Carton Hanging Tool on an Aluminum Electric Jib

FullSharp installed an aluminum rail jib crane with an electric hoist and a carton hanging tool that grips each box by its sides, for a packaging shop moving hundreds of cartons a day. The arm reaches both conveyor and pallet from one spot, and the push-button hoist stops right at packing table height.

A packaging shop moves hundreds of carton boxes a day from the machine to the packing table. The boxes are bulky, light but easy to dent, and carrying them by hand all shift tires the shoulders and often tears the corners. The floor space is also too tight for a double-girder crane.

FullSharp installs an aluminum rail jib crane carrying an electric hoist with a carton hanging tool. The lightweight aluminum rail lets the trolley run smoothly, and the arm swings around the column in an arc, so the operator can reach both the conveyor and the pallet from one spot.

Equipment Installed

Aluminum rail: the swing arm is made of aluminum rail, light enough that a single push moves the trolley smoothly along with the load.
Electric hoist: push-button lifting at a steady speed, stopping right at the packing table height.
Carton hanging tool: a fixture that grips the carton by its sides, holding firmly without denting the walls.
Column and swivel base: a steel column bolted to the floor, with a swivel base letting the arm rotate around its axis within the calculated work zone.

Benefits for Your Facility

Less manual effort

Workers only guide the direction; the hoist handles the lifting, ending the carrying all shift.

Boxes stay intact

The tool grips evenly on both sides, so cartons keep their corners and look clean going into storage.

Compact footprint

The jib crane occupies only one column base, leaving aisles and machine areas clear.

Frequently asked questions

Can cartons be lifted by clamping the sides?

Yes, with a fixture that grips evenly on both sides. It holds firmly without denting the walls, so cartons keep their corners.

Why use a jib crane instead of a bridge crane here?

The floor space was too tight for a double-girder crane. A jib crane occupies one column base and leaves aisles and machine areas clear.

Is an electric hoist needed for light cartons?

The hoist lifts at a steady speed and stops right at table height, so workers only guide direction. FullSharp matches the hoist to box weight and pace.

FullSharp conducts an on-site survey to measure the reach, ceiling height, and actual box weight. From there we finalize the arm length, hoist capacity, and matching tool, then install and provide on-site operator training.
