Carton Lifting with a Column-Mounted Pneumatic Jib

FullSharp mounted a pneumatic jib crane directly on an existing factory column with a vacuum tool for carton boxes, making use of a corner where no free-standing post or overhead beam would fit. The arm swings fully around the column and the vacuum tool lifts boxes smoothly, so operators stop carrying them by hand and corners are not dented.

Small factories and tight warehouses often don't have room for a standalone column, and no overhead beam or rail either. Corners and areas around columns are the hardest places to fit lifting equipment, yet goods still need lifting all day long. Carrying carton boxes by hand repeatedly is tiring and often dents the corners.

FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane mounted directly on an existing factory column, with no overhead beam or mobile rail required. The arm swings fully around the column, covering the whole work area around it, and the vacuum tool lifts carton boxes smoothly without denting them.

Equipment Installed

Column mounting collar: a bracket that clamps around the factory column, transferring the load into the column so no separate base is needed.
Pneumatic rotating arm: swings fully around the column, covering a circular work area in every direction.
Vacuum tool for carton boxes: the pad presses onto the box lid, holding it securely without denting.
Control handle: suction and release buttons on the handle, letting the operator work one-handed while steadying the load.

Key Specifications

Arm rotation angle360 degrees

Benefits for the Factory

Makes use of an existing column

No need to build a new column or overhead beam, so installation is quick and simple.

No floor space used

The equipment mounts onto the column, keeping the floor area around the work zone intact.

Covers all around the column

The arm swings fully, reaching all four sides, ideal for corners and tight spaces.

Frequently asked questions

Can a jib crane be mounted on a building column?

Yes, if the column can take the load. Mounting on an existing column avoids a new post or beam, so installation is quick and the floor around it stays free.

How far around can a column-mounted jib arm swing?

In this project the arm rotates 360 degrees and reaches all four sides of the column. Where walls or racks are close, the useful angle depends on the site.

Will a vacuum tool damage carton boxes?

The suction head lifts the box from its surface instead of squeezing the sides, so corners are not dented. FullSharp matches the head to box size and weight.
