Long cartons are not heavy but they are bulky, and a worker carrying one loses sight ahead and easily dents the corners. This area sits right next to a column, leaving no room to install a standalone crane post.
FullSharp uses the existing column, mounting a column-mounted aluminum rail jib crane and hanging an ANVER vacuum tube lifter at the end of the rail. The operator presses the pad against the carton, lifts it with the handle, and swings the arm through 180 to 270 degrees to move the load onto a pallet or conveyor.
Column-mounted aluminum rail jib crane fitted with an ANVER vacuum tube lifter, lifting a long carton at the customer's warehouse.
The crane mounts on an existing column, so no space is needed for a post. Walkways and storage areas stay unchanged.
The pad distributes suction evenly along the long carton. The carton is not squeezed at the edges as it would be when carried by hand.
The vacuum lifter carries the full weight of the carton. The worker only guides and releases the load.
When surveying this type of equipment, FullSharp measures the column's cross-section, checks its load-bearing capacity, and measures the size of the cartons to be lifted. From there we select the rail length, rotation angle, and pad layout to match your cartons exactly. Call FullSharp to schedule a site visit.
