On a production line, workers must continually lift goods from pallets onto tables and then down onto a conveyor. This repetition strains shoulders and slows the line's pace toward the end of the shift.

FullSharp installed a 200 kg aluminum rail running the length of the line, fitted with an ENDO air balancer and a pneumatic vacuum suction tool. The operator presses the tool onto the item, lets it grip, then pushes it gently along the rail, with no lifting effort required throughout.

Aluminum rail with ENDO air balancer and pneumatic vacuum suction tool on the production line.

Equipment Installed

  • 200 kg aluminum rail: lightweight aluminum profile with a smooth-rolling trolley, letting a light push move it the whole run.
  • ENDO air balancer: balances the load pneumatically, so goods hold steady at whatever height the operator releases them.
  • Pneumatic vacuum suction tool: suction cup grips the item's surface, generating vacuum from the existing compressed air source.
  • Air filter unit and safety valve: filters water and dust from incoming air, holding the load if the air supply is suddenly lost.

Benefits for the Plant

Steady line pace

Lifting feels as light as pushing, so output at the end of the shift matches the start.

Fast attachment

The suction tool grips as soon as it's pressed on, with no time spent threading straps or hooks.

Low maintenance

Running on compressed air, the system stays reliable with just periodic filter replacement.

Installation Consulting for Your Plant

FullSharp visits your plant to measure the rail run, check the overhead support structure, and inspect the surface of the goods to be lifted. We then select the ENDO air balancer capacity, number of suction cups, and tool type to grip your specific product securely.
