In a warehouse, pallets and conveyors are not always arranged along a single arc. A straight-arm crane only reaches the outer ring, while spots hidden behind columns or against walls still have to be carried by hand.

FullSharp chose an articulating jib crane on a mobile base, carrying a Lifts All Basic carton box vacuum lifter. The two-section arm folds to work around obstacles, reaching spots a straight arm cannot.

Articulating Jib Crane on Mobile Base, Lifts All Basic for Carton Boxes

Articulating jib crane on a mobile base with a Lifts All Basic carton vacuum lifter in the warehouse.

Equipment Installed

  • Two-section articulating arm: each section pivots on a joint, guiding the suction head along a folded path.
  • Mobile base: a counterweighted frame with wheels and locking feet, relocated without drilling the floor.
  • Lifts All Basic: a vacuum tube lifter raised and lowered by handle, with light and stable operation.
  • Carton box lifting pad: sized to the box, gripping the carton surface without denting the sides.

Benefits for the Factory

Reaches hidden spots

The folding arm works around columns and racks, missing no spot the way a straight arm would.

Fast to relocate

The mobile base lets it be pushed to another area in minutes.

Light-handed box lifting

The vacuum tube carries the weight, the operator only guides the direction.
