FullSharp combined a 500 kg ceiling rail as the travel line with a 200 kg pneumatic jib crane hung beneath it, for a long work area where lifting happens at many separate stopping points. The jib travels along the rail and also rotates at each stop, covering the full stretch without a single column on the crowded floor.
The customer's work area stretches out, but lifting tasks are concentrated at each individual stopping point. A single fixed jib crane only covers the circle around its own column, while a plain rail cannot rotate on the spot. The floor was already packed with equipment, so there was no room to add support columns.
FullSharp combined two systems: a 500 kg KBK rail mounted on the ceiling as the travel line, carrying a 200 kg pneumatic jib crane underneath. The rotating unit lifts on the spot and also travels along the rail, so it covers both the long stretch and the area around each stopping point. Everything sits overhead, so the shop floor loses no space.

Traveling along the rail then rotating on the spot lets one system serve many working points.
Both systems are ceiling-mounted, leaving the floor below free for machines and walkways as before.
The pneumatic mechanism lifts smoothly with no electrical spark at the point of operation.
Hang the jib crane from a ceiling rail so it travels along the line. It then lifts and rotates at each stop instead of covering only one circle.
A plain rail moves the load along a line but cannot swing it around each work point. The jib arm adds that rotation. FullSharp sets the stops to the real work points.
The ceiling rail is rated for 500 kg and the pneumatic jib crane lifts 200 kg. FullSharp checks the ceiling structure and stopping points before design.
FullSharp inspects the roof structure to calculate the mounting intervals for the KBK rail system, and measures the remaining clear height once the rotating unit is hung. Our engineers check the plant's available air pressure and flow rate. Contact FullSharp to schedule a survey and receive a layout drawing.
