Rail-Mounted Jib Crane with Electric Hoist

Many plants need to lift loads at several spots spread along one route rather than concentrated in a single place. A standalone jib crane only reaches within its arm's radius. Installing a separate unit at every spot is costly and takes up space.

FullSharp combines a jib crane with a rail track: the rotating column travels along the rail, so its coverage extends along the whole route. An electric hoist hangs from the arm, lifting at the push of a button while the operator stands next to the load and controls it directly.

Equipment Installed

Jib crane: the arm rotates around the column, covering a circular work area around the standing position.
Rail track: runs the length of the plant, letting the column and arm travel to each spot that needs lifting.
Electric hoist: an electric motor lifts and lowers at the push of a button, at a steady speed with a brake that holds the load when stopped.
Handheld pendant control: clearly marked up/down buttons, with the cable at a comfortable height for the operator.

Benefits for the Plant

Covers a long route

The column travels on the rail, so multiple spots share a single piece of equipment.

Push-button lifting

The electric hoist does the heavy work, so the operator never has to pull a hand chain.

Compact installation

Minimal construction work, mainly erecting the column and hanging the rail, so the plant barely has to stop.

FullSharp measures the load weight, the required lifting height, and the location of each work spot to lay out the rail route. We check the floor or the support structure, then select the right column and hoist size. Contact FullSharp to schedule a site survey.
