Not every station needs continuous lifting. Some spots only need a few dozen lifts a day, so investing in a large crane there is overkill, yet leaving workers to carry loads by hand is still heavy and risks bumping finished parts.

FullSharp installs a jib crane fitted with a pull-cord KITO electric hoist. A compact standing column with a swing arm rotating around it lets the worker pull a cord to lift or lower the load, then push the trolley by hand along the arm to the exact spot needed.

Jib Crane with a Pull-Cord KITO Electric Hoist

Equipment Installed

  • Pull-cord KITO hoist: controlled by a pull cord, with a load-holding brake, simple and rarely needing minor repairs.
  • Swing column: the column base is bolted to the floor, with a swing arm rotating around it to cover the whole work area.
  • Hand-pushed trolley: pushed lightly along the arm to bring the hook to the exact pick-up or drop-off point.
  • Hook with safety latch: keeps the cable or sling from slipping out of the hook throat while lowering the load.
  • Powder-coated steel structure: rated for the design load, with a surface that holds up well in a mechanical shop environment.

Benefits for Your Facility

Right-sized investment

Suited to stations with only a few daily lifts, without the cost of a double-girder crane.

Simple to operate

Pulling the cord lifts and lowers the load, so new workers get the hang of it after a few tries.

Low maintenance

A compact mechanism and a widely used KITO hoist mean parts and service are easy to find.

Consulting for Your Facility's Installation

FullSharp surveys the floor for column placement, measures the required lift height, and the swing radius the station needs to cover. We confirm the actual load, then finalize the KITO hoist configuration and column structure. Call FullSharp to schedule a site survey.
