FullSharp installs a 5T ceiling rail rated at 200 kg along the roll-feeding area with a 200 kg air balancer and a clamp built for fabric rolls. One worker clamps, lifts and brings each roll to the spreading machine without carrying it, so the fabric stays clean and unwrinkled in a warehouse with barely room for one person.

Fabric rolls are bulky, and even two workers carrying one struggle to keep it from rolling or dragging on the floor. The fabric wrinkles easily, the edges get dirty, and feeding a roll into the spreading machine takes a long time. Fabric warehouses are also packed tight, leaving barely enough room for one person to pass.

FullSharp installs a 5T rail (200 kg rated) mounted on the ceiling, running the length of the roll-feeding area. On the rail sits a 200 kg air balancer with a clamp tool built specifically for fabric rolls, keeping the roll balanced at any height. One worker clamps, lifts, and brings the roll to the machine without carrying it at all.

Installed Equipment

  • 5T steel rail: ceiling-mounted along the fabric warehouse route, rated for a 200 kg load.
  • 200 kg air balancer: balances the roll's weight pneumatically, keeping it steady in place when the operator lets go.
  • Fabric roll clamp tool: soft-padded jaws hug the roll body, holding it securely without marking the fabric.
  • Rail trolley: pushes easily by hand, moving the roll from the fabric rack to the cutting or spreading machine.
  • Control handle: combines the lifting and clamping controls, letting one person operate the entire cycle.

Benefits for Your Plant

Rolls feel weightless

The air balancer offsets the roll's weight, so one person moves it comfortably.

Protects fabric quality

Soft-padded jaws leave the roll free of marks, wrinkles, or edge stains.

Faster roll feeding

The roll travels straight along the rail from rack to machine, with no need to carry it around.

Frequently asked questions

How do you lift fabric rolls without wrinkling them?

A clamp built for fabric rolls holds the roll and the air balancer keeps it balanced at any height, so it is not dragged or rolled on the floor.

How many people are needed to feed a roll?

One. The air balancer carries the roll's weight and holds it in place when released, so a single operator clamps, lifts and guides the roll to the spreading machine.

Why mount the rail on the ceiling?

Fabric warehouses are packed tight, so a ceiling rail keeps the narrow aisle free. FullSharp checks the roof and roll weights first.

Consulting for Your Plant

FullSharp measures the actual diameter, length, and weight of your fabric rolls before building the clamp tool. Our engineers survey the ceiling structure and travel path, then install the rail, tune the air balancer, and test it with real rolls.
