In a work area full of columns and machines, FullSharp used an articulating jib crane on a mobile base so the arm folds around obstacles, combined with a FullSharp air balancer and a carton vacuum lifter. The balancer holds each box still at any height, and the operator moves it with a light push instead of carrying it the long way round.
The work area has many obstacles, so a straight jib crane cannot reach every pickup and drop-off point. Workers have to carry boxes around the obstacles, which is slow and tiring on the arms throughout the shift.

Articulating jib crane on a mobile base with a FullSharp air balancer and a vacuum carton lifter tool.
Installed Equipment
- Articulating jib arm: two folding sections reach hidden spots that a straight arm cannot.
- FullSharp air balancer: balances the box's weight with compressed air; the box stays still when released.
- Carton vacuum lifter tool: the suction pad presses onto the box lid and releases with a lever on the handle.
- Mobile base: push by hand to change areas; lower the outriggers and it's ready to work.
- Pressure gauges: monitor vacuum and air pressure before every lift.

Benefits for Your Plant
Reaches hidden spots
The joint lets the arm fold around columns and machinery. No more carrying boxes the long way around.
Effortless lifting
The air balancer keeps the box balanced at any height. The operator applies almost no force.
Flexible installation
The mobile base replaces a foundation and anchor bolts. Still usable after the layout changes.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose an articulating jib crane over a straight arm?
A straight arm cannot reach pickup and drop points hidden behind columns or machines. The two folding sections of an articulating arm bend around obstacles to reach those spots.
What does an air balancer do?
It balances the weight of the load with compressed air, so the box stays where it is when released and the operator applies almost no force. Pressure gauges show vacuum and air pressure before every lift.
Can the crane be moved if the layout changes?
Yes. The mobile base replaces a foundation and anchor bolts. It is pushed by hand to a new area, the outriggers are lowered, and it is ready to work.

FullSharp surveys the site to identify the hidden spots the arm must reach, and measures box weight and working height. We select the length of each articulating arm section, the air balancer size, and the right suction head. Contact FullSharp to schedule a site visit.
