200 kg Steel Rail for Electric Hoist

The shop needs to lift loads at several locations, but the floor is already packed with machines, leaving no room for a post or a forklift to get in. Every time a heavy part needs moving, it takes several people carrying it through a narrow aisle.

FullSharp installed a 200 kg steel rail hung from the ceiling structure, letting an electric hoist run the full length of the track. Loads are lifted and pulled along the rail to the exact spot needed, while the entire floor stays clear for production.

200 kg Steel Rail Ceiling-Mounted for an Electric Hoist

A run of 200 kg steel rail hung from the ceiling with an electric hoist running underneath in the factory.

Equipment Installed

200 kg steel rail: a formed steel beam with the trolley running inside the rail profile, so dust collects far less on the rolling surface.
Threaded rod hangers: anchored to the roof purlins or beams, with hanger spacing calculated from the actual load and span.
Electric hoist: pendant-controlled lifting at a steady speed, with a brake to hold the load when power is cut.
Power feed along the rail: a flat cable running with the trolley, kept clear of head height and out of the trolley's path.

Benefits for the Factory

No floor space lost

The whole system sits overhead, leaving walkways and machine layouts unchanged.

Covers the full work area

One rail run serves multiple stations instead of buying several separate cranes.

Fast to install, minimal cutting

The rail hangs from the existing structure, with no need to pour a foundation or erect posts.

Installation Consultation for Your Factory

FullSharp checks the roof structure, clear height, and the actual load before finalizing the rail cross-section and the number of hanger points. We draw the rail route to match your floor plan, then install and test-run it on site.
