For a workshop handling both plastic drums and carton boxes, FullSharp built a mobile pneumatic jib crane with a quick-change tool coupling. The operator swaps the drum hook for the carton vacuum tool by hand in a few seconds, so one machine with a 360 degree arm covers both jobs instead of buying two separate units.
This workshop needs to move plastic drums and stack carton boxes, and the two loads call for two different tools. Buying two separate units takes up space and costs more, while sharing a single tool means neither load gets a secure grip.
FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane on a mobile base and built a quick-change tool coupling. The operator removes the drum hook and fits the carton vacuum tool in just a few seconds, with no tools required. The arm rotates 360 degrees, and the mobile base can be pushed to whichever process needs it.

Swapping tools switches between plastic drums and carton boxes. No need to buy two separate units.
A quick-latch coupling with no wrenches or hose disconnection needed. Switching processes takes no waiting.
The mobile base is pushed wherever it's needed. The equipment is never stuck in one place.
Yes, with interchangeable tools. This crane uses a latch pin and air connector in one coupling, so the drum hook and carton vacuum tool are swapped by hand without wrenches or disconnecting hoses.
The drum hook grips the drum handle and holds it firmly during lifting and tilting for pouring, while the pneumatic balancer carries the weight. FullSharp shapes the hook to the customer's drum type.
No. It sits on casters with outriggers and can be pushed to whichever process needs it, without reinstallation or drilling, so the equipment follows the work instead of staying stuck in one place.
FullSharp surveys each type of load you need to lift, weighs sample drums and boxes, and checks how often tools need to change during a shift. We design the quick-change coupling and both tool sets so the operation stays smooth and safe for both load types. Contact FullSharp to schedule a survey.
