FullSharp supplied a pneumatic jib crane on a counterweighted mobile base to lift and turn heavy workpieces into CNC machines, with an electric tow tractor that pulls the whole unit between machines. Workers no longer push the heavy base by hand, and the pneumatic hoist lowers each part gradually so it meets the fixture correctly on the first try.
Workpieces are heavy, and loading them onto the CNC machine each time takes two workers to carry and align with the fixture. With multiple machines in the workshop, pushing the lifting unit back and forth by hand all shift is just as tiring as carrying the workpieces themselves.
FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane on a mobile base to lift and turn workpieces into the machine. An electric tow tractor pulls the entire unit between machines, so workers no longer have to push the heavy base by hand.

Equipment installed
- Pneumatic jib crane: an arm rotating around the column, with a pneumatic hoist raising and lowering smoothly and holding the load at any height.
- Mobile base: a counterweighted, wheeled base with a locking pin to hold it in place while loading workpieces onto the machine.
- Electric tow tractor: pulls the whole unit between machines with an electric motor, leaving the operator to simply steer.
- Air supply unit: filters and regulates pressure before it reaches the hoist, keeping pressure stable for precise operation.

Benefits for the workshop
Less physical effort
The electric tow tractor takes over the heavy work of moving between machines, so workers no longer push the whole unit by hand.
Precise workpiece loading
The rotating arm and pneumatic hoist allow the workpiece to be lowered gradually, aligning with the fixture correctly on the first try.
One unit, many machines
The whole workshop shares one unit instead of installing a separate jib crane for every CNC machine.

Suitable applications
- CNC workshops loading workpieces onto multiple machines per shift
- Machining areas with a spread-out floor layout
- Maintenance shops moving heavy components
- Production lines split across multiple machine stations

Frequently asked questions
How can one jib crane serve several CNC machines?
Put it on a mobile base. In this project an electric tow tractor pulls the whole unit from machine to machine and the operator only steers, so the workshop shares one crane instead of fitting one per machine.
How is the workpiece aligned with the CNC fixture?
The rotating arm and pneumatic hoist lower the part gradually and hold it at any height, so it can be lined up with the fixture correctly on the first try.
What keeps the mobile base still during loading?
The base is counterweighted and has a locking pin that holds it in place while the workpiece is loaded. An air supply unit regulates pressure to keep the hoist movement precise.

Consultation for your workshop
FullSharp weighs the workpiece and measures the fixture height and clearance around the machine to select the arm's reach. Our engineers also measure the aisles and floor slope to determine the electric tow tractor's power. Tell us the number of machines and the travel distance per shift, and we will develop a proposal.
