Push-Button Lifting Anywhere with a Mobile Hoist Jib

FullSharp supplied a mobile-base jib crane with a push handle and an electric hoist on the arm for repair and assembly shops that lift at many different spots. One person pushes it into place, locks the wheels, lifts with the button and swings the arm to set the load down, then parks the unit in a corner when the job is done.

Repair and assembly shops rarely lift loads at one fixed spot. Each lift needs extra people to carry or waiting for a free forklift. Investing in a full fixed rail system is costly and only serves a single line.

FullSharp supplies a mobile-base jib crane with a push handle, with an electric hoist suspended on the arm. One person pushes the unit into position, locks the wheels, presses the button to lift, then swings the arm to set the load down. When the job is done, push the unit into a corner and free up the floor.

Equipment installed

Heavy-duty wheeled mobile base: rolls on a flat plant floor, with wheel locks applied before lifting.
Push handle: pushed and steered by hand, no extra towing vehicle or drive motor needed.
Rotating column: swings the arm through multiple angles to pick up and set down loads around the unit.
Electric hoist on the arm: button-operated lifting, stopping at the desired height, with a brake to hold the load.
Powder-coated steel frame: strong load-bearing capacity and rust resistance in the plant environment.

Benefits for the plant

Serves many locations

One unit serves multiple areas instead of building a fixed rail system for each line.

Fast installation

No drilling into the ceiling, no foundation work; put it straight into production upon delivery.

Fewer people carrying loads

The electric hoist lifts instead of manual effort, letting one person do what used to take two or three.

Frequently asked questions

Is a mobile jib crane a good alternative to a fixed rail system?

When lifting happens at changing spots, one mobile unit can replace a fixed system that only serves a single line, at lower investment.

How do you keep a mobile crane steady while lifting?

The base has heavy-duty wheels with locks that are applied before every lift. It is meant for a flat plant floor, and the powder-coated steel frame gives it the stiffness needed for lifting.

Does it need a tow vehicle?

No. It is pushed and steered by hand with the push handle, with no towing vehicle or drive motor needed. When the work is finished it can be parked in a corner to free the floor.

FullSharp asks about the heaviest load, lifting height, and how level the plant floor is, since the mobile base needs a floor that can bear the load. We then determine the arm's reach and the hoist type. Contact FullSharp to schedule a plant survey.
