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.

The rail-mounted trolley allows picking up and placing loads at various distances from the post.
Only one post is required, leaving the rest of the plant clear for forklifts and aisles.
A compact pendant control lets the worker swing and lift at the same time, with no second person needed to steady the load.
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.
