FullSharp installed a jib crane with an American-made ANVER vacuum lifter for soft, slippery material bags weighing tens of kilograms, with hundreds handled per shift. The suction head grips the bag surface and a swing of the arm moves it onto a pallet or into a hopper opening, without the operator ever hugging the bag.

Material bags are soft, slippery, and weigh tens of kilograms each, with hundreds handled per shift. Carrying them on the shoulder strains the back and shoulders, and bags easily slip from grip when stacked high.

FullSharp installs a jib crane fitted with an American-made ANVER vacuum lifter. The suction head grips the bag's surface, lifts it, and a swing of the arm moves it onto a pallet or into a hopper opening, without the operator ever having to hug the bag.

Jib Crane with ANVER Vacuum Lifter for Bags

Equipment Installed

  • ANVER vacuum lifter: American-made vacuum tube, lifted and lowered by hand force, holding the load when released.
  • Bag suction head: a suction pad designed specifically for soft bags, gripping firmly even on slightly wrinkled surfaces.
  • Rotating jib arm: swings around the column to move the bag from the pallet to the target spot.
  • Vacuum pump: maintains enough vacuum to hold the bag throughout the move.

Benefits for Your Facility

Spares the Back

No more shouldering bags; the operator simply guides the suction head.

No Torn Bags

Suction force spreads across the bag surface, so it doesn't get hooked, torn, or spill.

Steady Handling Pace

Each bag takes about the same time, making shift productivity easy to calculate.

Frequently asked questions

How do you lift bags into a hopper without carrying them?

The vacuum head grips the bag, lifts it and the jib arm swings it over the hopper opening, where the operator releases it.

Is vacuum lifting reliable on slippery bags?

The suction head grips the bag surface rather than relying on hand grip, so bags do not slip when stacked high or swung.

Where are bag vacuum lifters commonly used?

Cement, fertilizer and animal feed warehouses, food plants packing into bags, hopper and mixer feeding stations and logistics centers.

Installation Consulting for Your Facility

FullSharp weighs the heaviest bag, checks the bag material and stacking height before selecting the ANVER configuration. We build the suction head to match your bag type, then install and test it right at your loading area.
