FullSharp · since 1991

FullSharp mounted a horizontal pneumatic hoist and a carton vacuum head on an articulating jib crane for a packing line with a low ceiling and aisles too narrow for carts. The flat hoist saves overhead clearance, and the folding joints thread each box through the gaps between machines to the exact spot it is needed.

In many packing lines, low ceilings mean a vertical hoist uses up all the lifting height, leaving almost no clearance to raise a carton box. Meanwhile, the aisles between machines are too narrow for a cart, so workers end up carrying boxes by hand.

FullSharp uses a horizontal pneumatic hoist mounted on an articulating jib crane, saving valuable overhead clearance. The vacuum head grips the carton surface, and the arm's folding joints thread the box through gaps between machines to the exact spot needed.

Articulating Jib Crane with Horizontal Pneumatic Hoist for Carton Box Lifting

Horizontal pneumatic hoist and carton box vacuum head mounted on an articulating jib crane in a packing workshop.

Equipment Installed

Horizontal pneumatic hoist: mounted horizontally to use minimal height, suited to low-ceiling workshops, with smooth lifting that follows the operator's hand.
Multi-directional rotating joints: the arm folds to route loads around machines instead of being confined to one fixed swing.
Vacuum head for carton boxes: a pad designed specifically for cardboard, gripping firmly without tearing the surface layer.
Pneumatic valve assembly: controls suction, release, and lift speed by hand, stopping precisely where the load needs to be placed.
Powder-coated steel frame: strong load capacity and a durable surface for dusty packaging environments.

Benefits for Your Facility

Fits Low Ceilings

The horizontal hoist reduces installed height while keeping enough lifting travel for low-ceiling workshops.

Threads Around Machines

Folding joints move the box along a curved path, working in tight gaps between production lines.

No Box Damage

The vacuum head spreads force evenly, so carton boxes don't dent or tear when lifted.

Frequently asked questions

What is the advantage of a horizontal pneumatic hoist?

It lies flat on the arm, so it uses much less height than a vertical hoist. Under a low ceiling this leaves enough clearance to lift cartons properly.

How can boxes be moved between machines in a narrow aisle?

An articulating arm folds and bends around obstacles, so the box can be carried through gaps that a cart or straight arm cannot pass.

How does the carton vacuum head work?

The head presses on the box surface and vacuum holds it, so the operator lifts without gripping the sides. FullSharp matches the head to the real carton sizes.

FullSharp surveys the ceiling height and overhead clearance, and measures a sample box to select the horizontal hoist travel and vacuum head size. We also check the compressed air supply already available at the plant. Call FullSharp to schedule an on-site measurement.
