Material Roll Lifting Tool for Workshops

Material rolls are heavy, round, and prone to rolling away. Hooking cables or straps around a roll takes time and can distort its edges. Every roll change on a machine also means re-aligning it several times over.

FullSharp builds a roll lifting tool matched to each workshop's roll diameter and weight, fitting it directly onto an existing jib crane or hoist. The clamping mechanism grips the roll's core or body, resisting slippage throughout the lift. The operator only needs to guide the position, without supporting any load.

Equipment installed

Shaft and tool frame: load-bearing steel structure built to match the customer's roll core diameter.
Roll clamping mechanism: grips the roll body firmly, resisting both slipping and rotation while lifting.
Suspension head: connects to the existing jib crane or hoist hook without replacing the lifting system.
Control unit: simple open and close operation for the clamp, with a safety lock while carrying a load.

Benefits for the workshop

No dented roll edges

Clamping force is distributed evenly, so the roll keeps its shape and fewer outer layers need to be discarded.

Faster roll changes

The roll lands on the correct shaft on the first try, cutting down production line downtime.

Reuses existing lifting equipment

The tool attaches to the workshop's current jib crane or hoist, keeping investment cost low.

Consultation for your workshop

FullSharp measures the roll's diameter, width, and weight, and reviews the workshop's existing jib crane system. Our engineers design the tool to match the roll's exact specifications and manufacture it accordingly. The tool is fitted to the lifting system and load-tested before handover.
