500 kg Overhead Rail, ENDO Air Balancer

When a load has to travel through several positions across a wide area, a hand cart or manual carrying both cost labor and slow things down. Plant floors are often packed with machinery, leaving no room for a standing lifting device, and any floor-based solution ends up blocking a walkway.

FullSharp installs a 500 kg overhead rail system on the ceiling, suspending an ENDO air balancer that runs on a trolley. The entire work area is covered by an overhead rail network, and the operator gives it a light push to send the load in the right direction, keeping the floor clear.

Equipment Installed

500 kg overhead rail system: main and cross rails hung from the ceiling by rods, covering the work area in a two-way grid.
ENDO air balancer: balances the load on compressed air, holding it suspended at any height when the operator lets go.
Rail-running trolley: wheels roll smoothly inside the rail, so a light push moves the whole assembly.
Control handle: a lifting lever built into the balancer head, operated with one hand.
Air filter and regulator: stabilizes the incoming air pressure, keeping the equipment running smoothly and lasting longer.

Benefits for the Plant

Clear floor space

The whole system hangs from the ceiling, leaving walkways and machine placement untouched.

Reaches many directions

The main and cross rail grid lets loads travel to almost any point in the area.

Lifts almost effortlessly

The air balancer carries the weight, so the operator only needs to guide the load.

Consulting for Your Plant

FullSharp inspects the ceiling structure and its load-bearing capacity before planning the rail route. Our engineers draw a rail layout that covers your actual work area, select an air balancer to match the load and travel distance, then install, test, and warranty the equipment on site.
