FullSharp installed a rail jib crane with its own vacuum tube lifter and interchangeable pads for a plant that receives raw material sacks and ships goods in cartons. The same tube and rail serve both: remove the sack pad, fit the carton pad, and the lifter is ready for the other load, saving the cost and space of a second machine.
Some factories both receive raw material sacks and ship out goods packed in cartons. Buying two separate machines is costly and takes up space, while using one type of pad for both is unreliable, since soft sacks and rigid cartons need different grips.
FullSharp installed a rail jib crane carrying a vacuum lifting device with interchangeable pads. Using the same tube and the same rail, simply removing the sack pad and fitting the carton pad switches to the other type of goods.

Equipment Installed
- Rail jib crane: an arm swings around the column, and an overhead rail lets the tube trolley travel along the work area.
- FullSharp vacuum tube lifter: the tube body extends and contracts with vacuum level, raised and lowered by the handle.
- Sack lifting pad: a pad designed for soft sacks, gripping the sack surface without tearing the outer layer.
- Carton lifting pad: a suction pad for flat carton surfaces, swapped in minutes using a quick-connect coupling.
- Vacuum pump: supplies both pad types, mounted fixed beside the work area.
Benefits for the Factory
One system, two jobs
No need to invest in two separate machines for two types of goods.
Fast pad swap
The quick-connect coupling lets goods be switched within the same shift, with no downtime.
Correct grip for each material
Each pad is purpose-designed, so sacks stay unripped and cartons stay undented.

Suitable Applications
- Factories both importing sacks and exporting cartons
- Raw material and finished goods warehouses sharing one area
- Food and animal feed factories
- Multi-product pallet-stacking areas

Frequently asked questions
Can one vacuum lifter handle both sacks and cartons?
Yes, with interchangeable pads. Soft sacks and rigid cartons need different grips, so a sack pad and a carton pad are swapped on the same tube.
Will the sack pad tear the bag?
The sack pad is designed to grip the surface without tearing the outer layer. FullSharp checks sack material and weight before choosing pads.
How does a rail jib crane cover the work area?
The arm swings around the column and an overhead rail lets the tube trolley travel along the work area, so one lifter covers both the receiving and shipping zones.

Consulting for Your Factory
FullSharp needs actual sack and carton samples to design two pads that share one tube. Our engineers survey the floor plan, fix the reach and vacuum pump position, then install the system and train staff on how to swap pads.
