FullSharp installed an overhead aluminum rail system with an Anver vacuum lifting device for heavy, slippery rubber blocks fed into a calender machine. The pad is matched to the rubber surface so it grips firmly without pressing the block out of shape, and the arm turns 360 degrees while the trolley rolls along the rail to the right machine.
Rubber blocks are heavy and slippery, and their elastic surface makes them easy to distort with mechanical clamps. Manual carrying wastes effort and the load often slips, especially when feeding material into the calendering machine. Dropping it once means losing the whole block.

Overhead aluminum rail jib crane with Anver vacuum lifting device lifting a rubber block in the factory.
Equipment Installed
- Overhead aluminum rail: hung from threaded rods on the structure, light enough for the trolley to roll smoothly with a gentle push.
- Anver vacuum lifting device: stable suction pump, holds the load even when the operator pauses.
- Suction pad for rubber surfaces: the right pad is chosen to grip the elastic material without pressing it out of shape.
- 360-degree rotating joint: rotates the block in place and feeds it into the machine at the exact angle needed.
Key Specifications
- Rotation angle360 degrees
Benefits for Your Facility
Keeps material intact
Grip force spreads across the pad surface, so the rubber block is not squeezed out of shape or marked by clamp points.
Light, easy handling
The operator only pushes and steers, while the rail system and vacuum unit carry the full weight.
Smooth travel along the rail
The lightweight aluminum rail and free-rolling trolley move the material quickly with little vibration.

Suitable Applications
- Tire and rubber parts factories
- Shoe sole manufacturing plants
- Material feeding stations for calendering and pressing machines
- Warehouses storing rubber blocks and sheets

Frequently asked questions
How do you lift rubber blocks without deforming them?
A vacuum pad matched to the rubber surface spreads the hold over a wide area, unlike mechanical clamps that squeeze the material. The block is lifted firmly and keeps its shape.
Will a vacuum lifter hold a slippery rubber surface?
Yes, when the pad is selected for that surface. In this project the pad was chosen to match the rubber. FullSharp tests with the customer's real material before choosing.
Where is a rubber vacuum lifter used?
Tire and rubber parts factories, shoe plants and any line that feeds heavy rubber blocks into calender or mixing machines by hand.

Installation Consultation for Your Facility
FullSharp measures the weight and size of the rubber block, checks the material surface, and selects the right suction pad. Our technicians also inspect the ceiling structure to plan the mounting points and rail length. Contact FullSharp to schedule a site survey.
