At a carton packing station hemmed in by a wall and a column, FullSharp installed an articulating jib crane whose two folding arms swing around the column, with an ANVER vacuum tube lifter at the end. The operator presses the pad onto the carton lid and pulls the handle, and the air-powered unit lifts it without an electric motor or control cabinet.
A carton packing area sits against a wall with a column in the way, so a straight arm cannot reach every pick point. Cartons still need to be lifted and set down continuously, and doing it by hand all shift wears out the operator.
FullSharp installs an articulating jib crane with two folding arm segments that swing around the column and reach in against the wall. The working end is an ANVER vacuum tube lifter: press the suction pad onto the carton lid and pull the handle, with no electric motor needed.

Equipment Installed
- Articulating jib crane: two independently swiveling arm segments cover blind corners behind columns.
- ANVER vacuum tube lifter: the bellows tube both creates vacuum and lifts, with a release valve on the handle for setting cartons down gently.
- Carton suction head: a soft pad grips the carton lid without tearing the paper surface.
- Vacuum generator: air-powered, with a check valve that holds the carton if the air supply is lost.
Benefits for the Plant
Reaches tight corners
The articulating joints fold the arm to pick up against walls and around columns.
Simple operation
Every action sits on a single handle, with no control cabinet or button panel.
Keeps cartons intact
Suction force spreads across the soft pad, so lids do not tear or dent.

- End-of-line carton packing stations
- Consumer goods warehouses
- Carton palletizing areas

Frequently asked questions
How can a jib crane reach behind a column or against a wall?
A straight arm leaves blind spots. An articulating jib crane has two independently swiveling arm segments, so it folds around the column and reaches pick points right against the wall.
Does an ANVER vacuum tube lifter need electricity?
In this project the vacuum generator is air-powered, so no electric motor is needed at the lifter. A check valve holds the carton if the air supply is lost, and a release valve on the handle sets it down gently.
Will the suction tear the carton lid?
The soft pad spreads suction across the lid, so the paper surface is not torn or dented. FullSharp matches the pad size to the customer's cartons before installation.

Consulting for Your Plant
FullSharp measures the carton dimensions and weight, and maps the layout of columns and walls to size the two articulating arm segments. We then select the tube diameter and pad type to match the carton surface. Call FullSharp to schedule a survey.
