FullSharp · since 1991

FullSharp installed an articulating jib crane with two folding arm sections, a horizontal air balancer and a tray hook tool to pull component trays of up to 50 kg out of a narrow gap between two machines. The folding arm reaches around the obstruction where a straight jib could not, so the operator brings the tray out with a light pull.

Plastic trays loaded with components stack up to several dozen kilograms and have to be pulled out of a narrow gap between two machines. A straight-arm jib crane cannot reach in, and lifting by hand forces workers to bend and twist repeatedly.

Equipment Installed

  • Two-section articulating arm: each joint rotates freely, letting the tool head take a curved path to reach behind a column or machine.
  • Horizontal air balancer: a pneumatic balancing unit mounted flat on the arm, holding the tray weightless at any height when released.
  • Plastic tray hook tool: hooks onto the tray's rim, keeping it level and releasing quickly when set down on the conveyor.
  • Support column and floor base: bolted to the concrete floor, carrying the full load so nothing needs to hang from the ceiling.

Key Specifications

  • Load capacity50 kg
  • Operation typePneumatic
  • Arm typeFolding articulating arm

Benefits for the Factory

Reaches tight spaces

The folding arm reaches around machinery without needing to clear the layout to install it.

Feels like zero weight

The air balancer offsets the tray's exact weight, leaving the operator's hand to just guide direction.

Places trays precisely

The tool keeps the tray level, so components inside stay in place.

Frequently asked questions

How do you reach a load between two machines?

A folding articulating arm bends around machinery and reaches into the gap without rearranging the layout to install it.

What does the air balancer add?

It carries the tray weight with compressed air, so the operator does not bend and twist to lift trays of several dozen kilograms.

Can the tray hook be made for our trays?

FullSharp designs the hook to fit the customer's tray rim. A sample or drawing of the tray is needed before the tool is made.
