For plants whose roof cannot carry a rail line, FullSharp builds a freestanding steel frame bolted to the floor that holds a 500 kg rail, with a Japanese-made ENDO hoist running underneath. No load goes to the existing roof, and the rail runs the full length of the frame so several stations share one system.

Not every plant has a roof strong enough to carry a rail line, especially rented buildings or those with wide-span metal roofing. Yet the production line still needs lifting equipment running the full length of the work area.

FullSharp builds a freestanding support frame to carry a 500 kg rail line without transferring any load to the existing roof. An ENDO hoist hangs beneath the rail, lifting and lowering with a light touch and traveling along the frame as production requires.

500 kg Rail Frame with ENDO Hoist

Support frame carrying a 500 kg rail with an ENDO hoist installed in the production plant.

Equipment Installed

  • Support frame: freestanding steel columns and beams, base plates bolted to the floor, no need to hang from the roof.
  • 500 kg rail: a rail line rated for 500 kg, running the full length of the frame.
  • ENDO hoist: Japanese-made, lifted and lowered by hand force, holding the load suspended when released.
  • Rail trolley: carries the hoist along the line, moving with a simple push.
  • End-of-arm tooling: hooks, grippers, or vacuum pads fitted to match the part being lifted.

Benefits for Your Facility

No Load on the Roof

The freestanding frame transfers no load to the plant's roof structure.

Installs Almost Anywhere

Any sufficiently solid floor will do, making it suitable even for rented facilities.

Covers the Whole Line

The rail runs the full length of the frame, so multiple stations can share one system.

Suitable Applications

  • Production and assembly lines
  • Precision machining workshops
  • Product inspection and packaging areas
  • Rented facilities that cannot modify the roof structure

Frequently asked questions

Can I install a 500 kg rail without loading the roof?

Yes. A freestanding frame with steel columns, beams and base plates bolted to the floor carries the whole load, so it suits rented buildings and wide-span metal roofs.

What floor does a freestanding frame need?

Any sufficiently solid floor will do. FullSharp checks the floor condition and anchoring before installation. Base plates are bolted down to keep the frame stable.

What tools can hang from the hoist?

Hooks, grippers or vacuum pads fitted to match the part being lifted. The hoist holds the load suspended when released. The trolley carries it along the rail with a simple push.

Installation Consulting for Your Facility

FullSharp measures the floor plan, clearance height, and the load to be lifted before designing the support frame. We size the base plates to the actual floor, select the ENDO hoist to match the stroke needed, then erect the frame and run trial tests.
