FullSharp · since 1991

FullSharp built a rail-mounted jib crane carrying both a pneumatic vacuum plate lifter and a 100 kg electric hoist, for a plant that handles flat sheets and loose parts side by side. Sheets are lifted by pressing the pad on and creating vacuum, while parts go on the hoist hook, so one system replaces two and no slings are threaded.

Most plants handle two kinds of loads: flat sheets that are hard to sling, and separate parts that must be hooked and lifted. Buying two separate lifting systems costs both space and investment. But with only a hook crane, lifting a sheet means threading slings every time, which takes a long time.

FullSharp builds a jib crane on a rail and fits both a pneumatic vacuum plate lifter and a 100 kg electric hoist onto the same system. For flat loads, the operator presses the vacuum pad against the sheet and lifts; for loose parts, the hoist hook does the job, with no need to swap equipment.

Rail-Mounted Jib Crane with Vacuum Plate Lifter and 100 kg Electric Hoist

Rail-mounted jib crane with a pneumatic vacuum plate lifter and electric hoist inside the plant.

Equipment Installed

  • Pneumatic vacuum plate lifter: the pad presses onto the flat sheet, creates vacuum with compressed air, and lifts it without threading slings.
  • 100 kg electric hoist: lifts and lowers with an electric motor, used for loose parts that must be sling-rigged.
  • Rail-mounted jib crane: the arm rotates around a column that travels along the rail, so the work area spans a wide range.
  • Air supply unit and vacuum retention valve: keeps vacuum level stable and holds the load with an alarm if pressure drops.

Key Specifications

  • Electric hoist load capacity100 kg

Benefits for the Plant

One system, two jobs

Sheet loads and sling-rigged loads share the same crane, cutting the need to invest in two separate machines.

Faster sheet lifting

Pressing the vacuum pad picks up the load right away, eliminating the step of threading and removing slings.

Wide coverage

The rotating arm combined with the rail line reaches multiple machines along the same route.

Frequently asked questions

Can one crane handle both sheets and hooked parts?

Yes. In this project a vacuum plate lifter and an electric hoist are fitted to the same rail jib crane. The operator uses the pad for flat sheets and the hook for loose parts without swapping equipment.

How does a pneumatic vacuum plate lifter work?

The pad is pressed onto the flat sheet and compressed air creates vacuum to hold it, so the sheet lifts without slings. Releasing the vacuum sets it down. FullSharp sizes the pad to the real sheet size and weight.

Which materials suit a vacuum plate lifter?

Common loads are sheet metal, metal plates and glass panels with a flat, fairly smooth surface. Porous or very uneven surfaces need a different pad design, which FullSharp checks on the real material.
