Metal parts and steel blanks are heavy, and many pieces have no holes or lifting eyes to attach a sling. Rigging cables every time is slow and risky, and hands still have to touch sharp edges when unloading.
FullSharp installed an aluminum rail jib crane with a KITO hand chain hoist, fitted with a lever-release lifting magnet on the hook. Flip the lever and the magnet grips the blank; flip it back and the load releases. The operator never has to touch the part directly, and the arm rotates 360 degrees to place the load anywhere around the work area.

Press the magnet onto the blank and flip the lever. Each lift is far quicker than before.
Flip the lever to release the load from a safe distance. Fewer cuts from sharp edges.
The permanent magnet and hand chain hoist both work without power. Operations continue even during an outage.
FullSharp surveys the weight, thickness, and surface condition of your parts, since the magnet needs a flat, clean surface for a strong grip. We also check the rail's mounting points and the travel path in your facility to select the right reach and KITO hoist model. Call FullSharp to schedule a survey.
