FullSharp installed a lightweight 200 kg aluminum rail over a warehouse loading area with a pneumatic vacuum pad for picking up carton boxes. The operator presses the pad on the box, suction holds it and the box is pushed along the rail to the stacking spot, removing the constant bending and lifting that loads the back.

Picking up carton boxes in the warehouse repeats constantly, and every bending, lifting motion loads the back. When boxes are stacked high or set deep, the work slows down even more.

FullSharp installs a lightweight aluminum rail system over the loading area, carrying a pneumatic vacuum pad. The operator presses the pad against the box, the suction holds it, and then pushes it along the rail to the stacking spot. The aluminum rail is light, so the hanging system stays compact and the route length adjusts to the floor plan.

Aluminum Rail with Pneumatic Vacuum Pad for Carton Box Lifting

An aluminum rail with a pneumatic vacuum pad used to lift carton boxes in the warehouse.

Equipment Installed

  • Aluminum rail: lightweight, strong, cut and joined to fit the floor plan's length.
  • Trolley: low friction, moves light-handed even while carrying a box.
  • Vacuum pad: a suction pad built for carton boxes, gripping evenly without tearing the box.
  • Pneumatic unit: a stable suction source with a safety valve to hold the load if air pressure drops.

Key Specifications

  • Aluminum rail load capacity200 kg

Benefits for Your Facility

No more bending and lifting

The vacuum pad carries the weight, so the operator just presses it to the box and pushes it along.

Rail route fits the floor plan

Being lightweight, the aluminum rail extends or bends fairly easily to match the warehouse layout.

Fewer damaged goods

Suction is spread evenly across the box surface, reducing torn walls and dented corners.

Frequently asked questions

How does a pneumatic vacuum pad lift carton boxes?

The pad is pressed onto the box and suction from the compressed air supply holds it. The weight is carried by the pad and rail, so the operator only pushes the box to its place.

Can the rail route follow our floor plan?

Yes. The aluminum rail is light, so the hanging system stays compact and its length and route are adjusted to the loading area and pallet positions.

Is it useful for boxes stacked high or deep?

Those are the picks that slow manual work the most. The vacuum pad reaches the box and lifts it without the worker leaning in or stretching.

Consultation for Your Facility

FullSharp surveys the warehouse floor plan, ceiling height, and the dimensions of the boxes typically handled. Our engineers finalize the rail route and select the pad type to match the box surface. FullSharp then installs, hands over, and provides on-site warranty.
