For a warehouse split into small zones, FullSharp installed an aluminum rail jib crane on a hand-pushed wheeled base with an ANVER vacuum tube lifter for woven and paper bags. One worker pushes the unit between zones, and the suction head lifts each soft, slippery bag onto the pallet, a job that used to take two people.

Bags of goods are soft, slippery and heavy, so carrying them by hand takes two workers and they slip easily. The warehouse is also split into several small zones, each used only a few times, so a fixed column for every spot isn't worth it.

FullSharp installed an aluminum rail jib crane on a hand-pushed wheeled base, so one worker can push the unit between zones. The ANVER vacuum tube lifter suctions directly onto the bag surface, lifts it, and swings it onto a pallet, with no separate power source needed to move it.

Equipment Installed

  • Hand-pushed wheeled base: steel frame with counterweight, load-rated wheels and locking pins, one person can push the whole unit.
  • Aluminum rail swing arm: lightweight aluminum rail, smooth pivot joint, reach covers the full pallet being loaded.
  • ANVER vacuum tube lifter: an ANVER product, a vacuum pump contracts the tube to lift the bag, with a handle for direct up-down control.
  • Bag suction head: suction face designed for woven and paper bags, gripping firmly even on slightly wrinkled surfaces.

Benefits for the Plant

Serves multiple zones

One unit serves several locations in the warehouse, avoiding separate equipment for every zone.

Fewer workers per lift

Previously two workers were needed to carry a bag, now one operator handles the entire lift-and-place cycle.

Fast, compact setup

No floor drilling, no ceiling mounting — just a flat floor and a power source for the vacuum pump.

Suitable Applications

  • Material stores holding bagged goods at food plants
  • Mixing areas loading bags into hoppers
  • Distribution centers palletizing bags
  • Plants with several different pick-up points

Frequently asked questions

Can a vacuum lifter grip woven polypropylene bags?

Yes, with a suction face designed for woven and paper bags. It grips firmly even on slightly wrinkled surfaces. FullSharp tests with the customer's bag type, since porosity varies.

What does a mobile bag lifter need on site?

Just a flat floor and a power source for the vacuum pump. There is no floor drilling or ceiling mounting, and locking pins hold the base steady during work.

How many people does it take to lift a bag?

One. Previously two workers carried each bag; now one operator controls the whole lift-and-place cycle from the handle, with no separate power needed to push the unit.

Installation Consultation for Your Plant

FullSharp weighs the heaviest bag, checks the bag material and surface tightness to select the right suction head, since woven and paper bags need different treatment. Our engineers measure the floor and aisles to size the counterweight for the wheeled base. Tell us the bag type and the number of lifts per shift, and we'll draft a plan.
