FullSharp · since 1991

FullSharp built a freestanding steel frame carrying a 500 kg rated rail and hoist for plants that cannot hang rails from the ceiling, such as light metal roofs or leased buildings. The full load goes down through the frame legs, installation is quick, and when production is reorganized the whole unit can be moved to a new location.

Not every plant can hang a rail from its ceiling. A lightweight metal roof, a leased building, or a structure with unclear load capacity all make drilling overhead risky, not to mention that the building owner may simply not allow it.

For such cases, FullSharp built a freestanding steel frame carrying a 500kg-rated rail to mount a hoist. The entire load transfers down through the frame's legs rather than up into the ceiling. Installation is quick, and when production needs to be reorganized, the whole unit can be moved to a new location.

500kg Freestanding Rail Frame with Hoist

Freestanding steel frame carrying a 500kg rail with a hoist, installed at a workstation.

Equipment Installed

  • Freestanding steel frame: posts and beams carry the entire load, with no need to drill into the plant's ceiling or wall.
  • 500kg-rated rail: a rail beam that lets the trolley run smoothly along its full length, positioning the load along the work line.
  • Trolley and hoist: the hoist hangs from the trolley, lifting and lowering precisely for small and medium-load stations.
  • Powder-coated finish: protects the frame and rail from rust, maintaining durability in a humid plant environment.

Key Specifications

  • Rail load capacity500 kg
  • Mounting typeFreestanding frame, no ceiling drilling

Benefits for the Plant

No impact on the ceiling

The entire load goes down through the frame's legs, so this solution works even with a metal roof or a weak ceiling.

Quick to install and relocate

A modular structure that can be assembled in a short time and dismantled when the layout is reorganized.

Right-sized for medium stations

A 500kg capacity covers most parts and assemblies at a medium-sized workstation.

Suitable Applications

  • Assembly and machining stations for small and medium loads
  • Mechanical workshops and plants making parts and components
  • Fixed loading and material transfer areas
  • Leased premises where drilling into the ceiling isn't allowed

Frequently asked questions

What if the building owner does not allow ceiling drilling?

Use a freestanding frame. The rail sits on steel legs standing on the floor, so nothing is fixed into the ceiling. This suits light metal roofs and leased buildings alike.

Can a freestanding hoist frame be moved?

Yes. When the line is rearranged, the whole unit can be taken to a new location. This is one of its main advantages over a ceiling rail.

What load does this frame carry?

The rail in this project is rated at 500 kg. FullSharp sizes the frame to the real load and work area. A hoist rated for the same load is mounted on the rail.

Consultation for Your Plant

FullSharp measures the available floor area, clear ceiling height, and the load to be lifted to size the frame. Our engineers check the floor to decide whether anchor bolts are needed or a simple footing will do. We then fabricate, erect, test-run, and provide on-site warranty.
