FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane with a lever-operated magnetic tool for steel plates and metal parts of 80 to 200 kg in a metalworking shop. Operators press the magnet on, flip the lever to grip and flip it back to release, so there are no slings to rig, and one person loads plates onto the machine table instead of two.
Steel plates and metal parts are both heavy and sharp-edged, so rigging a sling takes time and can slip. It usually takes two workers to flip and load a plate onto the machine table. Every pick-up means threading and then removing the sling, over and over, all day.
FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane with a lever-operated magnetic tool: press the magnet face onto the plate, flip the lever to grip, flip it back to release. A force-sensing handle carries the weight, so one person alone can load the plate into the machine.

Equipment Installed
- Lever-operated magnetic tool: grips and releases with a mechanical lever, needing no power supply, so it holds the load even during a power outage.
- Pneumatic swing arm: a pneumatic joint balances the load, following the operator's hand and holding still when released.
- Force-sensing handle: a sensor reads the operator's push and lifts or lowers accordingly, with no button pressing needed.
- Air filter and safety valve assembly: filters moisture from the compressed air and holds the load if pressure drops.
Key Specifications
- Load weight80 to 200 kg
Benefits for the Factory
Fast pick-up
No threading slings or hooking cables — press it on, flip the lever, and it lifts right away.
Safe around sharp edges
Hands never need to wrap around the steel plate, avoiding cuts and pinch injuries.
One-person operation
Work that used to need two people flipping a plate is now handled by one person within the arm's reach.

Frequently asked questions
Does a lever-operated lifting magnet need electricity?
No. It grips and releases with a mechanical lever and needs no power supply, so it keeps holding the load during a power outage. That makes it a simple choice for repeated plate loading.
What weight can this magnetic jib setup handle?
This installation handles loads of 80 to 200 kg. FullSharp checks plate thickness, size and surface on site before choosing the magnet and arm, since grip depends on those factors as well as weight.
What happens if compressed air pressure drops?
An air filter and safety valve assembly removes moisture from the air and holds the load if pressure falls. The pneumatic arm balances the plate and stays still when the operator releases the handle.

Installation Consulting for Your Factory
FullSharp measures the weight, thickness, and surface flatness of the plates to select the right magnet size. We also review the machine positions and required reach to finalize the jib arm length. Call FullSharp to schedule a survey at your workshop.
