Pneumatic Jib Crane, Lever Magnetic Tool

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.

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.
