Bicycle frames are bulky, and carrying them by hand risks scuffing the paint layer, with each station transfer usually needing two people. Since the line runs on a fixed rhythm, even a few seconds' delay at one station backs up everything behind it.
FullSharp erects a pneumatic jib crane on a fixed column right between the stations. A pneumatic hoist keeps the frame suspended, and the operator rotates the arm to swing it to the next station. The system runs on compressed air, so it sparks no flame and can be used right next to the paint area.

Moves the frame between stations quickly and evenly, without waiting for enough workers.
The frame hangs suspended, never resting on a table or bumping into structures while moving.
The system runs on compressed air, so there's no electrical spark at the working end.
FullSharp weighs the frame, measures the distance between stations and the fixture height to select the right reach and hoist stroke. Our technicians check the column's foundation and the compressed air supply before installation. Contact FullSharp to schedule a line survey.
