Loading carton boxes through an entire shift means repeating the same motion many times. If the rail system is heavy and stiff, workers have to push hard each time they change direction, and by the end of the shift speed clearly drops and boxes get bumped more easily.
FullSharp chose an extruded aluminum rail for this jib crane because it is lightweight and the trolley runs with low friction. Combined with a vacuum lifter fitted with a pad for carton boxes, workers only need to press the pad on and give a light push to move the box toward the pallet.
An aluminum rail jib crane fitted with a vacuum pad for carton boxes in a packing area.
The lightweight, low-friction aluminum rail keeps the initial push force small and makes changing direction easy.
The pad spreads force across the box surface, so cartons keep their shape and labels intact.
Being lightweight, the aluminum rail can even be hung from ceiling structures with limited load capacity.
FullSharp measures your span, ceiling height, and box dimensions before finalizing the aluminum rail's cross-section. We also select the pad based on your paper type and box surface texture so the suction grip stays reliable.
