Heavy Load Lifting with a COMEUP 1-Ton Jib Hoist

For a machining station handling loads up to one ton, FullSharp installed a post-mounted jib crane with a rail-type arm and a COMEUP 1-ton hoist instead of a bridge crane over the whole plant. The arm swings around the post, the trolley adjusts reach, and one person lifts, swings and lowers with a pendant.

A machining station handling loads up to a full ton cannot rely on manual lifting. Bringing in a full double-girder bridge crane just to serve one location, on the other hand, uses up structure and overhead space across the whole plant.

FullSharp's solution is a post-mounted jib crane with a rail-type arm, carrying a COMEUP 1-ton hoist. The post is fixed to the floor, a rotating joint lets the arm swing through an arc, and a trolley slides along the rail to adjust reach. One person can handle the full cycle of lifting, swinging, and lowering.

Equipment Installed

Steel post: bolted to the floor or wall-mounted, sized to withstand the bending moment when the arm carries a load at full reach.
Rail-type arm: lets the trolley travel along its length, so loads can be picked up either near the post or at the far end of the arm.
Rotating joint: swings the arm through an arc, covering the work area around the post without moving the machine.
COMEUP 1-ton hoist: fast, precise lifting and lowering, with pendant control for a single operator.
Travel end stops: keep the trolley within the rail's range, preventing overrun during quick operation.

Benefits for the Plant

Flexible reach

The rail-mounted trolley allows picking up and placing loads at various distances from the post.

Minimal footprint

Only one post is required, leaving the rest of the plant clear for forklifts and aisles.

One-person operation

A compact pendant control lets the worker swing and lift at the same time, with no second person needed to steady the load.

Locations requiring loads up to 1 ton within the work radius

Frequently asked questions

Is a jib crane enough for one-ton loads at one station?

Yes. A post-mounted jib crane serves one location without using structure and overhead space across the plant, unlike a double-girder bridge crane.

Why use a rail-type arm?

The trolley travels along the arm, so loads can be picked up near the post or at the far end, giving flexible reach. The rotating joint covers the area around the post.

How is the post sized?

The post is sized for the bending moment when the arm carries a load at full reach, and bolted to the floor or wall-mounted.

Consultation for Your Plant

FullSharp surveys the actual load, reach, and overhead clearance to select the arm length. Our engineers check the floor and calculate the foundation for the post before construction. After installation, we run a load test and provide on-site warranty.
