Large metal sheets are thin and easily bent, and even with two people carrying one, it can still bump into machinery or scrape the floor. Since the sheet surface is already finished, a single scratch means redoing the work.
FullSharp installs a pneumatic jib crane and hangs a vacuum lifting pad right at the pickup point. The vacuum pump holds the sheet with rubber suction cups, a pneumatic cylinder lifts it, and the swing arm moves it to the machine table. Because the sheet is lifted straight up, it never scrapes against anything.

The rubber suction cups make soft contact and touch only the sheet's surface. No hooks or cables rub against the edges.
The swing arm holds the sheet at the correct table height. The operator only needs to fine-tune the last few centimeters.
No more two workers carrying a sharp-edged sheet across the workshop. Hands stay on the handle at all times.
During the site survey, FullSharp measures the sheet's dimensions, thickness, and weight, and checks whether the sheet surface is airtight enough for vacuum lifting. We also measure the distance from the pickup point to the machine to select the right reach for the swing arm. Contact FullSharp for an on-site survey.
