In this project FullSharp set up a Lifts All articulating jib crane on a mobile base with a carton vacuum lifting tool, so packing staff can move finished boxes from the conveyor onto pallets. The base rolls to a new line when orders change and needs no floor anchoring, while the operator only guides the box instead of carrying it.
Finished cartons at many plants are still carried by hand from the conveyor down onto pallets. The boxes are bulky and hard to hold, forcing workers to bend and twist repeatedly, which quickly tires them out and can dent the goods. Since the stacking location changes with each order, installing a fixed lifting system isn't practical.
FullSharp brings in a Lifts All articulating jib crane on a mobile base, with a vacuum lifting tool designed for cartons as the end tool. The operator presses the suction head onto the box, lifts it, and swings the arm over to the stacking spot. When the line changes, the whole base is simply pushed to the new location.
Lifts All articulating jib crane on a mobile base, its vacuum suction head lifting a carton in the packing area.
The machine bears the box's weight while the worker only guides direction, so shoulders and backs stay fresh through the whole shift.
The mobile base lets the system move to a different line within minutes, with no changes to the plant structure.
The suction head contacts the surface evenly, so boxes don't get crushed or torn at the corners when lifted.
Here FullSharp used a Lifts All articulating jib crane with a vacuum tool shaped for cartons. The operator presses the head onto the box, lifts it, and swings the arm to the stacking spot, with the suction and release buttons on the handle.
Yes. This unit sits on a heavy wheeled base that is pushed into position and then locked with outriggers. When the stacking point moves, the whole crane is rolled to the new line in minutes, with no changes to the building.
The suction head is shaped to the carton surface and contacts it evenly, so boxes are not crushed or torn at the corners. FullSharp checks the actual box size, weight and board quality before choosing the pad layout.
FullSharp surveys box size and weight, stacking height, and aisle width before finalizing the solution. We then choose the articulating arm's reach, design the suction head to fit the carton surface, and hand it over along with on-site operating instructions.
