Steel, stainless and copper pipes are typically 6m long, from a few tens to several hundred millimeters in diameter, and weigh tens of kilograms each. Manual handling takes two people, and the pipes easily twist, slip, bend and cause impacts in the workshop.

FullSharp supplies metal pipe lifting equipment using vacuum for pipes with sealed surfaces and grippers for large pipes and bundles. Mounted on an overhead rail or jib crane, it lets one operator lift pipes one by one from the bundle and feed them to cutting, bending and turning machines or stack them on racks.

Metal pipe handling equipment in operation

FullSharp equipment for lifting metal pipes

  • Vacuum tube lifter with curved suction pads: holds round pipes, square tubes and polished stainless pipes, lifts 30 to 200kg and picks pipes one by one from the bundle. See FullSharp vacuum tube lifters.
  • Long pipe gripper: two jaws or multi-point grippers hold long pipes without sagging, suited to large pipes and oily pipes that cannot be vacuum lifted. Mounts on a manipulator or hoist. See manipulators.
  • Pneumatic jib crane and overhead rail: structure carrying the equipment, 3 to 5m reach, covering the cutting machine and pipe rack. See Pneumatic jib crane and overhead rail systems.
  • Balancing servo hoist: lifts heavy pipes following the operator's hand and stops at any height, for pipes of 200 to 500kg. See Balancing servo hoist.

Benefits of metal pipe handling equipment

No bent or scratched pipes

Pipes are supported at two to four points and moved horizontally, never dragged or knocked against other pipes.

Faster machine loading

One person lifts and places a pipe in the machine in seconds, so cutting and bending machines wait less for stock.

No rolling pipe accidents

Pipes are held securely from pick-up to set-down, with no more pipes rolling off racks or crushing hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can oily or rusty pipes be vacuum lifted?

Pipes with a thin oil film can still be lifted, but the suction pads need frequent cleaning. Rusty or pitted pipes should use a mechanical gripper.

How long can the pipes be?

Standard equipment handles pipes up to 6m long. Longer pipes use a spreader beam with two suction points or two grippers, designed by FullSharp to your requirements.

Can pipe bundles be lifted?

Yes, with a bundle gripper or slings combined with a balancing hoist. For bundles over 500kg, a crane with an electric hoist is recommended.

Metal pipe handling consultation

Every plant differs in load, part size, handling frequency and working space. FullSharp carries out a site survey, recommends suitable equipment, load-tests it before handover and trains your operators. The equipment is built at the FullSharp factory in Taiwan, with spare parts and warranty service available in Vietnam.
