500kg Rail with ABUS Electric Hoist

When a half-ton load has to travel a fixed path between two points, a forklift is both slow and wastes aisle space. Forklifts also have to wait their turn, and the factory floor loses part of its area just to serve as a driving lane.

FullSharp installs a 500 kg rated overhead rail system running along the exact path the load travels, with a trolley carrying an ABUS electric hoist sliding on the rail. The load is lifted and carried straight to its endpoint while the floor beneath the rail stays completely clear.

500 kg Ceiling Rail with ABUS Electric Hoist, Overhead Sliding Rail

500 kg overhead rail system with an ABUS electric hoist running on a trolley in a factory.

Equipment Installed

500 kg rated rail: an overhead sliding rail hung from rods, sized to the customer's 500 kg load and line length.
ABUS electric hoist: push-button lifting with a load-holding brake, running reliably through frequent use each shift.
Rail-running trolley: rolls along the rail to bring the hoist to any point on the line.
Support rods and brackets: mounted to the roof beams, distributing the load evenly so the building structure isn't stressed at one point.
End stops: limit the trolley's travel at both ends of the line, keeping it from running past the allowed position.

Benefits for Your Facility

Floor stays clear

The entire rail sits overhead, so the floor below is still free for machines and walkways.

Stays on a fixed path

Loads always travel the fixed rail line, keeping repeated operations consistent and easy to control.

Stable half-ton lifting

The ABUS electric hoist's load-holding brake lifts and lowers 500 kg loads safely through a full shift.

Suitable Applications

Mechanical factories moving heavy workpieces and assemblies
Assembly shops working along a fixed machinery line
Maintenance areas replacing heavy equipment
Material warehouses lifting goods on and off shelving

Consulting for Your Facility's Installation

FullSharp checks that the ceiling and beam structure can bear a 500 kg suspended load, and measures the line length and required lift height. We then finalize the rod spacing, ABUS hoist configuration, and wiring plan. Call FullSharp to schedule a site survey.
