The customer's parts must travel along a fixed route between process stages, with two people carrying or a forklift needed for every move. The narrow aisle makes it hard for a forklift to enter and exit, causing delays. A double-girder crane would be far larger than the actual load requires.

FullSharp installed a 200 kg ceiling-mounted steel rail system running exactly along that route. An electric hoist hangs from a trolley, lifting the load and then rolling the whole length of the route with a light push. The whole system sits overhead, so not a single square meter of floor is lost.

200 kg Ceiling-Mounted Steel Rail for Hanging Electric Hoists

A 200 kg ceiling-mounted steel rail system with a trolley carrying an electric hoist along the rail.

Equipment Installed

  • 200 kg steel rail: a steel profile rated for a 200 kg load, machined to a precise track so the trolley rolls smoothly with low friction.
  • Ceiling hanging kit: threaded rods and hanging brackets bolt to the roof structure, spreading the load across multiple hanging points.
  • Trolley: wheels run inside the rail, pushed lightly by hand, carrying the hoist along the entire route length.
  • Electric hoist: raised and lowered by pendant button, with a load-holding brake and overload protection.
  • Rail joints and end stops: connect rail sections flush, stopping the trolley at each end so it doesn't run past its travel limit.

Key Specifications

  • Rail Load Capacity200 kg
  • Mounting TypeCeiling-mounted

Benefits for Your Facility

No Floor Space Used

The rail sits overhead, so the area below still holds machines and aisles as before.

Push and Go

The trolley rolls smoothly in the rail, letting one person hold the load and push it the entire route.

Matched to Actual Load

The 200 kg system is more compact and affordable than a large girder crane, while still covering daily needs.
