FullSharp · since 1991

FullSharp installed a 5T ceiling-mounted rail with a pneumatic lifting cylinder and a mechanical gripper rated for 200 kg working loads, moving parts overhead between machines in a crowded plant. Parts are clamped, lifted and pushed along the rail to where they are needed, so carts no longer squeeze through narrow aisles and the floor layout stays as it is.

Many plants need to move goods regularly between machines, but the floor is already packed with equipment. Carts have to squeeze through narrow aisles — slow and prone to collisions — while carrying parts weighing several hundred kilograms by hand simply isn't feasible.

FullSharp installs a 5T ceiling-mounted rail system, using a pneumatic lifting cylinder combined with a mechanical gripper rated for 200 kg working loads. Goods are clamped, lifted, and run along the overhead rail line straight to where they're needed, with nothing in the way on the floor below.

5T Ceiling-Mounted Steel Rail with Lifting Cylinder and Mechanical Gripper

A 5T ceiling-mounted rail system with a lifting cylinder and mechanical gripper in a production area.

Equipment Installed

  • 5T ceiling-mounted rail system: a load-bearing rail suspended from the roof structure, with its line tracking the exact path goods travel.
  • Lifting cylinder: a fixed lifting stroke driven by compressed air, giving even speed and easy stop-point control.
  • Mechanical gripper: clamps using a mechanical mechanism — the heavier the load, the tighter the grip — with no dependence on electrical power.
  • Rail trolley: a hand push moves the whole unit along the line, stopping exactly where each machine needs to be fed.

  • Working load200 kg

Benefits for Your Facility

No floor space used

Goods travel overhead, so walkways and machine layouts stay exactly as they are — no need to reorganize the plant.

Secure grip, fewer failures

The mechanical gripper has few electronic parts, so it runs reliably and is simple to maintain.

Consistent cycles

The cylinder's fixed stroke makes every lift identical, so operators get faster with practice.

Frequently asked questions

Why use a pneumatic cylinder instead of a hoist?

A lifting cylinder has a fixed stroke, so every lift goes to the same height and the cycle stays consistent. Combined with a mechanical gripper it has few electronic parts, which keeps maintenance simple.

Can a ceiling rail system work in a plant with no free floor space?

Yes. The rail hangs from the roof structure, so goods travel above machines and walkways. FullSharp checks the ceiling structure and the route before deciding rail length and supports.

What load can this overhead gripper system carry?

This installation runs a 200 kg working load on a 5T rail. The gripper is shaped to the customer's part, and FullSharp designs a new gripper when the part shape or weight is different.
