A packaging warehouse must move carton boxes from pallets onto the conveyor and back onto other pallets, with the work spot shifting with each batch. A fixed crane cannot keep up, while carrying boxes by hand is tiring and dents them.

FullSharp uses a mobile-base jib crane so the whole crane assembly can be rolled wherever it's needed, fitted with a vacuum lifter that grips the top of the carton. Once the box is gripped, the operator swings the arm to move it to the new spot.

Mobile-Base Jib Crane with Vacuum Tube Lifter for Carton Boxes

Mobile-base jib crane with a vacuum tube lifter raising a carton box in the warehouse.

Equipment Installed

  • Mobile base: a wheeled base that rolls the whole crane assembly to the work spot without drilling into the floor.
  • Rotating jib arm: swings around the column to cover a fan-shaped work area around the base.
  • Vacuum tube lifter: grips and lifts the carton box using vacuum pressure, operated with one hand.
  • Carton box suction pad: a wide-contact suction pad on the box lid, gripping firmly without tearing the cardboard.
  • Vacuum pump: maintains steady vacuum for the entire shift.

Benefits for Your Facility

Goes Where It's Needed

The mobile base lets one crane assembly serve multiple areas of the warehouse.

Keeps Boxes Intact

Gripping the flat lid means the carton's corners are not squeezed out of shape.

One-Person Operation

Gripping, swinging, and releasing are all done with one hand, no extra person needed to carry.
