FullSharp fitted a vacuum lifting pad to an articulating jib crane with a horizontal pneumatic hoist for carton boxes that hold fragile goods. Even suction grips the lid without squeezing the sides, the hoist slows as it nears the pallet, and one hand turns the arm to the drop point, so contents stay safe and boxes stay unmarked.
Carton boxes often hold fragile goods, and every bump or hard grip can damage what's inside. Lifting by hand is slow, while mechanical clamps often leave dents on the box surface.
FullSharp chose a vacuum lifting pad with evenly distributed suction to grip the box surface without squeezing the sides. The whole assembly hangs on an articulating jib crane with a horizontal pneumatic hoist, lifting smoothly and turning to the drop point with one hand.
Vacuum lifting pad for carton boxes mounted on an articulating jib crane with a horizontal pneumatic hoist.
Smooth lifting without clamping keeps fragile products inside the box safe.
Soft, evenly spread suction cups keep the box surface intact for delivery.
Suction, lifting, and turning are all handled comfortably by one person.
Mechanical clamps squeeze the sides and often leave dents. A vacuum pad spreads suction across the lid, lifting the box smoothly without pressure on the goods inside.
Not in this setup. A vacuum generator runs on the plant's existing compressed air, with a check valve that holds the box if pressure drops. FullSharp confirms air supply on site.
It mounts flat on the arm, keeps the load balanced and slows down as the box nears the pallet, so it lands gently. The articulating arm picks up from many directions in the work area.
FullSharp measures the box size and weight and checks the cardboard surface to select the number of suction cups and pad type. Our engineers calculate the articulating arm's reach based on the actual layout and check the air supply. Contact FullSharp to schedule a survey.
