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.

Aluminum Rail Jib Crane with Vacuum Lifter for Carton Boxes

An aluminum rail jib crane fitted with a vacuum pad for carton boxes in a packing area.

Installed Equipment

  • Extruded aluminum rail: lighter than a steel rail of the same span, with the trolley running smoothly and needing less maintenance.
  • Jib crane: mounted on the aluminum rail, with a wide swing that reaches both the pickup point and the stacking point.
  • Vacuum tube lifter: raised and lowered by hand force, with a compact handle for continuous, fatigue-free operation.
  • Pad for carton boxes: grips the paper surface closely, holding firmly without denting or tearing the packaging.
  • Vacuum pump: stable suction, with an alert when the vacuum level drops below a safe threshold.

Benefits for Your Factory

Light to push

The lightweight, low-friction aluminum rail keeps the initial push force small and makes changing direction easy.

Packaging stays neat

The pad spreads force across the box surface, so cartons keep their shape and labels intact.

Flexible mounting

Being lightweight, the aluminum rail can even be hung from ceiling structures with limited load capacity.

Suitable Applications

  • Packaging and carton box manufacturing plants
  • End of packing lines, stacking boxes onto pallets
  • Finished-goods warehouses handling carton boxes
  • Order-picking areas
