Egg trays are not heavy, but they cannot tolerate vibration or tilting. Workers carrying stacked trays all shift get tired arms, and a single misplaced drop can crack an entire layer of eggs, wasting stock and creating cleanup.

FullSharp installs a pneumatic manipulator for the egg packing area. The equipment carries the weight and keeps the stacked trays level, while the operator only guides the direction gently and lowers slowly.

Manipulator for Lifting Egg Trays

Pneumatic manipulator lifting a stack of egg trays in the packing area.

Equipment Installed

  • Pneumatic manipulator body: air-pressure balanced, holding the load still when released, with no sudden drops.
  • Tray lifting fixture: a support surface shaped to the tray, keeping the stack level throughout the motion.
  • Control handle: smooth lift and lower control with adjustable speed, so eggs are not jolted.
  • Column or overhead rail: positioned to match the work area between the inspection table, packing machine, and pallet.

Benefits for Your Facility

Fewer broken eggs

Slow, level movement keeps the stack from shifting during lowering.

Less arm fatigue

Workers no longer bear the weight, keeping a steady pace through the whole shift.

Stable packing rhythm

One person can cover multiple positions without waiting for an assistant.
