The customer runs an R&D office with long rows of test benches and a repair area. Engineers often have to put heavy units on a bench for testing and disassembly, then move them to another bench. Carrying by hand is tiring and risks damaging the equipment, while the aisles between benches are too narrow for a forklift.
FullSharp installed a ceiling-mounted 5T steel rail system rated 200 kg along the room. Each line has two runway rails and a moving bridge beam carrying a KITO electric chain hoist with remote control. The rails cover the working area of the benches: the engineer hooks the load, presses the button to lift it, then gives a light push to move it lengthwise or crosswise to the exact spot.

Ceiling-mounted 5T rail system rated 200 kg with KITO electric hoists over the test benches of an R&D office.
Installed equipment
- 5T steel rail rated 200 kg: red-painted 5T steel rail profile: fixed runway rails on the ceiling and a bridge beam traveling on them, with smooth-rolling trolleys inside the rail.
- Ceiling suspension: rails hung from the ceiling on steel pipes and hanger brackets laid out to the ceiling grid, with no floor columns taking bench space.
- KITO electric hoist: electric chain hoist on the bridge trolley, smooth lifting and lowering, operated by remote control.
- Festoon cable: power and control cables hung on sliding hooks along the beam, following the hoist without getting in the way of people below.

Benefits for the factory
No manual carrying
The hoist lifts the heavy unit and the engineer only pushes lightly to move it, reducing back strain and drops.
Covers every bench
Runway rails and bridge beam let the hoist reach any point on the benches, placing units exactly where they are tested.
Clean floor space
The whole rail system hangs from the ceiling, keeping aisles and office floor clear.
