FullSharp fitted a horizontal pneumatic hoist to an articulating jib crane for a workshop where a low ceiling would leave a vertical hoist with little lifting height. The flat hoist saves headroom so the carton gets more travel, the vacuum head grips the box surface, and the air valve gives smooth lifting and precise stops all day.
Some workshops have low ceilings, where a vertical hoist would cut into the lifting height. Carton boxes come out continuously and need to be lifted and swung to the next spot all day. Repetitive manual handling tires workers' shoulders and risks dropped loads.
FullSharp uses a horizontal pneumatic hoist mounted on an articulating jib crane. The hoist lies flat, taking up little height and leaving more travel for the load. The vacuum suction head grips the box surface, and the air valve gives smooth lifting and precise stops.

The horizontal hoist reduces the height it occupies while keeping the needed lifting stroke.
Suction, lifting, swinging, and placing all run from a single control, no helper needed.
The air valve allows slow, staged lowering so boxes land squarely on the stack without bumping corners.
Use a hoist that lies flat on the arm instead of hanging vertically. A horizontal air hoist takes little height, so more of the space under the arm is left for the lifting stroke.
It meters compressed air to the hoist, so the operator can lift slowly and stop exactly at the right height. This makes placing boxes smooth and repeatable.
Paper and carton packaging plants, warehouses and packing workshops, light industrial lines and distribution centers, especially where headroom is limited.
FullSharp measures the ceiling height, required lifting height, and box dimensions before choosing the hoist type. Our engineers also check whether the workshop's air supply has enough pressure and flow. Contact FullSharp to schedule a survey.
