FullSharp installed a ceiling-mounted aluminum rail with an 80 kg vacuum tube lifter for a warehouse that lifts carton boxes hundreds of times per shift. The pad grips the box lid on contact and releases when asked, so corners stay undented, and the light aluminum rail lets the operator push boxes along the line with no equipment on the floor.

In warehouse operations, carton boxes get lifted hundreds of times each shift. Carrying them by hand tires the shoulders and often dents the box corners, hurting the look of goods on delivery. Warehouses are also tight on space, so there's no room for equipment standing on the floor.

FullSharp installed a ceiling-mounted aluminum rail with an 80 kg vacuum tube lifter suspended from it. The pad presses onto the box lid, gripping on contact and releasing on demand, so the box keeps its shape. The lightweight aluminum rail lets the operator push the box along the work line with ease.

Ceiling-Mounted Aluminum Rail and Vacuum Tube Lifter for Carton Boxes

A vacuum tube lifter hangs from a ceiling-mounted aluminum rail, lifting a carton box at the packing area.

Equipment Installed

  • Ceiling-mounted aluminum rail: a lightweight aluminum rail hung from the roof structure, with the trolley running smoothly and quietly.
  • 80 kg vacuum tube lifter: raises and lowers by hand pressure on the control handle, keeping the load stable at any height.
  • Vacuum pad for carton boxes: a wide-surface pad that spreads the grip evenly so the box lid doesn't dent.
  • Vacuum pump and hold valve: maintains vacuum and keeps the box held if the air supply or power is cut.

Key Specifications

  • Load capacity80 kg

Benefits for the Factory

Frequently asked questions

How does a vacuum tube lifter pick up a box?

The pad presses on the box lid and vacuum holds it. The tube shortens to lift and lengthens to lower, controlled from the handle, and releasing the vacuum sets the box down. Lifting by the top keeps the corners from denting.

Will a vacuum lifter work on all cartons?

It works best on cartons with a flat, fairly sealed top. Very porous board or open flaps may need a different pad. FullSharp tests with the customer's real boxes before choosing the pad.

Where is a box vacuum lifter usually installed?

Typical spots are distribution warehouses, end of packing lines where boxes are stacked on pallets, and packing areas where space is tight and the floor must stay clear.
