Plastic trays are stacked high; grabbing a tray from the top layer means reaching up, while the bottom layer means bending down. Each tray isn't heavy, but the repetition through a shift overloads the operator's shoulders and back.

FullSharp installed an articulating jib crane carrying a Lifts All unit with a plastic tray hook tool. The two joints let the lifting head reach right up to the tray stack; the operator hooks the tray's rim, lifts slightly, and pulls it clear.

Articulating Jib Crane with Lifts All and Plastic Tray Hook Tool

Installed Equipment

  • Articulating jib crane: two arm sections joined at a fold point, reaching many angles within the work area.
  • Lifts All lifting unit: lifts and lowers from the handle, holding the tray steady when the operator pauses.
  • Plastic tray hook tool: the hook grips the tray's rim firmly and releases quickly when set down.
  • Control handle: lifting and lowering buttons on the handle, operated with one hand.

Benefits for the Plant

Reaches more angles

The folding arm lets the lifting head get in close to the stack and hard-to-reach spots.

Fast tray pickup

The hook grips the tray's rim in one motion, no need to turn the tray around.

Less shoulder strain

The unit carries the weight; the operator only pushes and pulls horizontally.
