Steel pipes are round, smooth, and heavy, so sling tying takes a lot of time — and even then, a loose sling can let the pipe spin loose while lifting. In fabrication shops handling dozens of pipes per shift, tying and untying slings eats up most of the working time.
FullSharp installs a pneumatic jib crane with a clamping system dedicated to steel pipes. The clamp jaws wrap around the pipe diameter, gripping and releasing with compressed air, eliminating sling tying entirely, while the rotating arm moves the pipe from the storage rack to the machine or welding table.

The pneumatic clamp holds the pipe the moment it grips, saving most of the handling time.
The clamp jaws wrap tightly around the diameter, keeping the pipe steady throughout the move.
Clamping, lifting, rotating, and lowering are all controlled from a single handle.
FullSharp measures the diameter range, length, and weight of the pipes you handle to design a matching clamp. Our engineers select the arm's radius to match your rack and machine layout, then install and test it with real pipes at your workshop.
