Swivel Joint with Duckbill Clamp for Hoists

Many bar- and pipe-shaped parts must be turned to the right orientation before they can go into a machine. Doing this by hand is both heavy and prone to slipping, especially in tight spaces where the operator cannot stand upright.

FullSharp fits a swivel joint to the customer's existing pneumatic hoist. The duckbill clamp opens and closes pneumatically, gripping the part firmly, while the swivel joint lets it be turned on the spot — no need to set it down and pick it back up.

Articulating Swivel Joint with Duckbill Clamp for Pneumatic Hoists

Swivel joint with a duckbill clamp fitted to a pneumatic hoist in a production plant.

Installed Equipment

Swivel joint: load-rated bearing, smooth rotation, turning the part by hand without needing force.
Duckbill clamp arm: alloy steel jaws that hold bar, pipe, and sheet parts, reducing the risk of dropping during lifting.
Pneumatic open/close mechanism: quick clamping and release, with grip force adjustable via the supplied air pressure.
Rubber-lined jaw surfaces: increase friction and protect the part's surface, leaving no marks on the product.
Connection standard: fits onto pneumatic hoists already in use, so there is no need to replace the whole lifting unit.

Benefits for Your Plant

Turn parts on the spot

Rotate the part right on the clamp, with no need to set it down on the floor and pick it up again.

Firm grip, no scratches

Rubber-lined jaws both increase friction and preserve the part's surface finish.

Reuses existing equipment

Fits onto the pneumatic hoist you already have, costing less than investing in a whole new lifting unit.

FullSharp examines the shape and weight of your parts to design jaws that match their profile, and checks the connection standard on your existing pneumatic hoist. Our engineers also measure the plant's air pressure to select the right clamping mechanism. Send us photos of the parts and the hoist you are using so we can propose a solution.
