A paint workshop has to move cans continuously from the mixing area to the filling area. Carrying cans by hand means many trips per shift, and tilting a can even slightly spills paint onto the floor. The cans are slippery, and paint-covered hands raise the risk of dropping them.

FullSharp installed a pneumatic crane running on a ceiling-mounted rail, fitted with a hook tool for 4 paint cans at once. A force-sensing handle reads the operator's push, so the group of cans follows the hand, stays balanced, and lowers exactly into place.

Equipment Installed

  • Ceiling-mounted rail: a route connecting the mixing area to the filling area, with the trolley running the whole distance without switching equipment.
  • 4-paint-can hook tool: a hook frame that holds four can handles, gripping firmly and keeping the cans upright while moving.
  • Force-sensing handle: a sensor reads the operator's push and lifts or lowers accordingly, with no button pressing needed.
  • Pneumatic balancing unit: keeps lifting force steady whether carrying one can or all four.

Benefits for the Factory

Fewer trips

Lifting all four cans at once sharply cuts the distance workers walk per shift.

No paint spills

The cans stay upright and move smoothly, limiting spills and keeping the floor cleaner.

Less strain on shoulders and back

No repeated heavy carrying, reducing shoulder and neck pain by the end of the shift.
