Level Box Lifting with a Mobile Pneumatic Jib Crane

FullSharp supplied a pneumatic jib crane on a mobile base with a self-leveling box hook, so boxes stay level from the moment they leave the floor and contents do not shift. Compressed air balances the load and the operator only guides it, with no balancing straps to tie, and the whole unit rolls to wherever loading happens that shift.

A box lifted from a single hook tends to tilt, letting the contents shift and knocking the box against shelving. Tying extra straps for balance takes time on every lift. The loading area also changes with each shift, so fixed equipment doesn't fit.

FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane on a mobile base with a self-leveling box hook. The hook set keeps the box level the moment it's lifted, compressed air balances the load, and the operator only needs to guide the direction. When the job is done, the whole unit rolls to another area.

Equipment Installed

Self-leveling box hook: a hook set that distributes suspension points evenly, keeping the box level so contents don't shift.
Pneumatic rotating arm: the arm follows the operator's hand, stopping in place the instant it's released.
Mobile base: a steel base with wheels and outriggers, rolled to the work area without drilling into the floor.
Air supply unit: removes moisture and regulates pressure, keeping lift force steady all shift.

Benefits for the Factory

No more tilting

The leveling hook keeps the box level from the moment it's lifted, so contents don't shift.

No more tying straps

Hook it and lift, no need to tie and untie balancing straps for every load.

Easy to relocate

The mobile base lets you move the equipment to wherever loading is happening during the shift.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a box tilt when lifted from one hook?

A single hook rarely sits over the centre of gravity, so the box leans and contents slide. A self-leveling hook set spreads the suspension points evenly, keeping the box level without extra straps.

Does a mobile jib crane need floor anchoring?

No. This one has a steel base with wheels and outriggers, so it is rolled to the work area and stabilised without drilling. It suits truck loading points and areas that change between shifts.

How is lifting force kept steady through a shift?

An air supply unit removes moisture and regulates pressure, so the pneumatic arm lifts consistently and stops in place the instant it is released. FullSharp checks the plant air supply before installation.
