FullSharp supplied a pneumatic jib crane on a mobile base with a height-adjustable column and a clamp tool made to the exact profile of parts that cannot be hooked or lifted by suction. The jaws clamp firmly without marking the finished surface, and the base is pushed to wherever each order is being worked.

Some parts can't be hooked or suctioned because of their unusual shape; they must be clamped at the exact point to lift safely. Generic tools let the part spin loose or mark the finished surface. The work position also changes with each order, making fixed equipment impractical.

FullSharp supplies a pneumatic jib crane on a mobile base with a height-adjustable column, its arm fitted with a custom clamp tool. The tool is made to match the part's exact profile, so it clamps firmly without leaving marks. Push the base to any station and adjust the column to that station's height.

Pneumatic Jib Crane with Mobile Base, Adjustable Column and Custom Clamp Tool

Equipment Installed

  • Pneumatic jib crane: compressed air carries the load, and the rotating arm moves the part around the work area with a light hand force.
  • Height-adjustable column: changes the machine body's height for each station, so one unit serves multiple process steps.
  • Mobile base: wheels with locking casters — push it into position, lock the casters, and it's ready to work.
  • Custom clamp tool: the jaws are shaped to match the part's profile, holding it firmly without marking the finished surface.
  • Control valve assembly: clamp, release, raise, and lower buttons are all on the handle so one person can complete the whole operation.

Benefits for Your Facility

Precise part clamping

Jaws shaped to the part's actual profile mean nothing slips and surfaces stay unmarked.

Quick station changes

Push the base and adjust the column to switch to another process step, with no reinstallation needed.

No ceiling mounting needed

The load transfers down through the base, so plants with light roofing or rented premises can use it too.

Frequently asked questions

How do you lift a part that cannot be hooked or suctioned?

A clamp tool shaped to the part's actual profile grips it at the right points, so nothing slips or spins loose during the lift.

Will a custom clamp mark the finished surface?

Jaws shaped to the part spread the contact, which keeps finished surfaces unmarked. FullSharp designs the jaws from a part sample or drawing.

Why a mobile base and adjustable column?

The work position changes with each order, so the base moves to the station and the column is adjusted to the working height.

Installation Consultation for Your Facility

FullSharp records the part's profile and weight, checks the allowable clamp points and each station's height to design the tool and column travel. We manufacture the tool and test it on the actual part before handover. Contact FullSharp to schedule a site survey.
