FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane on a mobile steel base for an aerospace component area, where parts are finely machined and the layout changes with each order. The whole load rests on the base, so nothing is drilled into the ceiling or floor, and compressed air balances the part while the operator simply guides it into place.

Aerospace components are usually moderately heavy but finely machined, so a hard knock ruins them. Lifting by hand or with a rigged sling is both slow and prone to impact. Production areas also change layout frequently by order, so drilling the ceiling or anchoring bolts into the floor is not an option.

FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane on a mobile base, with the entire load resting on the steel base so nothing touches the building structure. Compressed air balances the load, and the operator only guides the part's direction — releasing the handle leaves the arm holding its position.

Mobile-Base Pneumatic Jib Crane for an Aerospace Component Workshop

Pneumatic jib crane on a mobile base, installed at the aerospace component machining area.

Equipment Installed

  • Pneumatic swing arm: an air-driven rotating joint that follows the operator's hand and stops as soon as it's released.
  • Mobile base: a steel base with wheels and outriggers, rolling the crane to another work cell without drilling the floor.
  • Control handle: lift/lower buttons on the handle itself, operated with one hand while keeping eyes on the part.
  • Air filter and safety valve assembly: filters moisture from the compressed air and holds the load if pressure is lost, so the part cannot drop.

Benefits for the Factory

No ceiling drilling

All the load goes down through the base, so leased buildings or weak ceilings can still use it.

Light, precise lifting

Compressed air balances the weight, so the operator only guides direction instead of straining.

Moves with the work

Changing the production layout just means rolling the whole unit, with no need to disassemble and reinstall.

  • Moving parts between machines and inspection tables
  • Areas where ceiling or floor drilling is not permitted
  • Workshops that reconfigure production lines by order

Frequently asked questions

How do you lift precision parts without knocking them?

Use a balanced lifting arm instead of slings or carrying by hand. Compressed air carries the weight, the operator guides the part slowly, and when the handle is released the arm holds its position so the part does not swing into the machine.

Can a jib crane work without anchoring to the floor?

Yes, if it sits on a mobile base sized for the load. In this project the steel base has wheels and outriggers, so it can be rolled to a new station when the layout changes. FullSharp checks the load and reach to size the base.

Which industries use a mobile pneumatic jib crane?

It suits aerospace component machining and assembly, precision engineering shops and any area that moves parts between machines while the floor plan keeps changing.

Installation Consulting for Your Factory

FullSharp visits the workshop to measure the part weight, the required reach, and the floor flatness where the base will move. From there we select the arm size, column height, and air supply. Contact FullSharp to schedule a site survey.
