With the work area right against a wall, FullSharp mounted an aluminum rail jib crane on the wall and fitted a FullSharp vacuum tube lifter for sacks of tens of kilograms going from pallet to machine hopper. The operator presses the pad onto the sack and guides it with a light push, while pallet trucks move freely underneath.

Material sacks weigh tens of kilograms each, and operators have to carry them from the pallet to the machine hopper many times a shift. The area sits right against a wall, leaving no room to erect a floor-standing jib crane column.

FullSharp mounted an aluminum rail jib crane onto the wall, carrying a FullSharp vacuum tube lifter built for sacks. The arm sweeps the exact area between the pallet and the machine hopper; the operator presses the pad onto the sack and gives it a light push, while the floor below stays completely clear.

Installed Equipment

  • Wall-mounted structure: base plates and anchor bolts fixed into a load-bearing wall, replacing a floor-standing column.
  • Aluminum rail and swing arm: lightweight aluminum rail that swings easily, covering the work area in front of the wall.
  • FullSharp vacuum tube lifter: lifting and lowering directly on the tube, with the handle controlling suction and lowering speed.
  • Sack suction pad: grips woven or paper sack surfaces, keeping the sack stable while it moves.
  • Vacuum pump and filter: filters material dust and holds suction steady through the shift.

Benefits for the Plant

Floor stays clear

The whole structure is wall-mounted, so pallet trucks move freely underneath.

Fast sack pickup

Press the pad and it grips instantly, no need to hug the sack or reach under it.

Less back strain

Operators stand upright and guide the handle instead of carrying sacks on their shoulders.

Frequently asked questions

How do you load heavy sacks into a hopper without carrying them?

A vacuum tube lifter grips the sack by suction and carries its weight, and the operator guides it from the pallet to the hopper while standing upright.

Does sack dust affect the vacuum lifter?

A filter in front of the pump removes material dust and keeps suction steady through the shift. The pad grips woven or paper sack surfaces and keeps the sack stable while it moves.

Can a jib crane be fixed to a wall?

Yes, to a load-bearing wall with base plates and anchor bolts. FullSharp checks the wall before installation. The arm then sweeps the exact area between pallet and hopper.

Consultation for Your Plant's Installation

FullSharp inspects the wall structure, measures the required swing area, and weighs your heaviest sack. We then finalize the aluminum rail arm reach, tube size, and pad type to match your sack material.
