FullSharp supplied a pneumatic jib crane on a mobile base that lifts up to 200 kg, paired with an electric tow tractor so one operator can move it between work zones. One unit serves several areas that only need lifting a few hours a day, with no ceiling drilling or foundation pouring, which also suits leased plants.

Some plants only need lifting in each area for a few hours a day, making a fixed jib crane for every zone too costly. But pushing a heavy crane unit by hand across dozens of meters wears workers out fast. A slight slope in the floor makes manual pushing even harder.

FullSharp supplies a pneumatic jib crane on a mobile base paired with an electric tow tractor. The crane lifts up to 200 kg at the work site, and when it needs to move to another area, it hooks onto the tow tractor: one operator drives the whole unit along without calling in extra hands.

Equipment Installed

  • 200 kg pneumatic jib crane: the pneumatic-jointed arm follows the operator's hand with a light push.
  • Mobile base: a steel base with wheels and support legs; lowering the legs holds it steady, raising them lets it be towed.
  • Electric tow tractor: an electric motor tows the whole crane unit, controlled by one operator, and handles a slight floor slope.
  • Air supply unit: filters and regulates compressed air, keeping lifting force stable throughout the shift.

Benefits for the Plant

Shared across zones

One unit serves multiple locations instead of installing a fixed crane at each one.

No structural work

No ceiling drilling or foundation pouring, so leased plants can still deploy it.

Moved by one person

The electric tow tractor handles the heavy work, removing the need for extra workers to push it as before.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a jib crane that can be moved around the plant?

Yes. A jib crane on a mobile base is not anchored to the floor. In this project an electric tow tractor pulls it, so one person relocates it even across slightly sloped floors.

How much does a mobile pneumatic jib crane lift?

This unit lifts up to 200 kg. FullSharp sizes the base, counterweight and arm to the actual load and reach before supplying.

Can I use a jib crane in a rented building?

A mobile-base unit needs no anchors or structural work, so it can be used where the landlord does not allow drilling the floor or ceiling.
