Steel sheets are flat, heavy and sharp-edged, so even two people carrying one risks bending the sheet or cutting a hand. Loading a sheet onto a machine table requires precise edge alignment, so doing it manually is both slow and often needs re-adjusting.

FullSharp installed a Lifts All 200 kg rail jib crane, with the lifting unit running on a rail straight to the pick-up point. The vacuum lifting pad grips the sheet surface, lifting it flat and lowering it precisely onto the machine table edge.

Lifts All 200kg Rail Jib Crane with Vacuum Lifting Pad for Steel Sheets

Equipment Installed

  • Lifts All jib crane: a genuine Lifts All product, with a sturdy swing arm and bearing pivot joint for light handling.
  • 200 kg rail: the trolley runs along the rail, carrying the whole lifting unit to the sheet stacking area without manual carrying.
  • Vacuum lifting pad for sheets: multiple suction cups spread evenly across the frame, gripping the steel sheet surface and keeping it flat while lifting.
  • Vacuum pump and gauge: monitors vacuum level, alerting when grip falls below a safe threshold.

Benefits for the Plant

Sheets stay flat

Multiple suction cups spread the load evenly across the sheet, so it keeps its flatness during lifting and lowering.

Safer for hands

No need to grip the sharp sheet edge directly, greatly reducing the risk of hand cuts.

Accurate placement

The lifting unit runs on the rail and swivels, so aligning the sheet edge to the machine table is fast, with fewer re-adjustments.

  • Quality inspection areas for finished sheets

Installation Consultation for Your Plant

FullSharp measures the size and weight of the largest sheet, and checks whether the sheet surface is oily or rusty, since this determines the number of suction cups needed. Our engineers also measure the rail route along the sheet's path from storage to the machine. Send us the sheet specifications, and we'll calculate the right suction pad configuration.
