The customer's machining station sits against a wall, and the floor is already packed with machines and carts, leaving no room for a jib crane column. The workpiece is also heavy enough to require two people to lift onto the machine table. Every setup meant the whole team had to stop working.

FullSharp installed a wall-mounted jib crane with an electric hoist, using the wall and column structure itself as the load-bearing point. The arm sweeps exactly across the station's work area, and the hoist lifts with a brake and overload protection. The floor stays clear, and carts continue to move as usual.

Wall-Mounted Jib Crane with Electric Hoist for Work Stations

A wall-mounted jib crane with an electric hoist, providing lifting at one work station in the factory.

Equipment Installed

  • Wall mounting base: a steel bracket bolted to the wall or concrete column, spreading the load evenly across the existing structure.
  • Slewing arm: a steel beam rotating around the base pivot, covering a fan-shaped work area around the station with a simple push to turn.
  • Electric hoist: stable lifting speed with a load-holding brake and overload protection, controlled by a pendant.
  • Trolley running along the arm: moves the hook point in and out to match reach, placing the load exactly on the machine table.
  • End stops: limit trolley travel to prevent collision with the pivot and arm tip.

Benefits for Your Facility

Floor Space Untouched

The entire load transfers to the wall or column, so no floor area is lost to a base or foundation.

Sized to the Real Work Area

Arm length is calculated from the station's actual working radius, neither too long nor too short.

Controlled Lifting

The electric hoist's brake and overload protection allow slow, precise lowering to the exact height needed.

Suitable Applications

  • Machining stations that load workpieces onto machine tables
  • Assembly lines with a fixed work position
  • Maintenance areas replacing heavy machine components
  • Locations against a wall or column where a freestanding post won't fit

Consultation for Your Facility

FullSharp visits the site to check whether the wall or column structure can handle the arm's bending moment. Our engineers measure the lifting load, reach, and ceiling height to select the hoist and beam length. Contact FullSharp to schedule a site survey and receive an installation plan.
