FullSharp installed a 5T steel rail rated at 200 kg along a production area with an electric hoist, so loads can be lifted and moved between a row of workstations. Workers hook the load, press to lift and push the trolley to the next station, without carrying by hand or bringing a forklift into the aisle.

In this production area, loads have to be lifted and then moved along a row of work stations. Carrying them by hand is tiring and slow, and a forklift takes up the aisle.

FullSharp installed a 5T rail rated at 200 kg running the length of the work area, carrying an electric hoist. Workers hook the load, press to lift, then push the trolley along the rail to where it needs to go, without leaving the work area.

Equipment Installed

  • 5T steel rail: FullSharp's rail profile, rated at 200 kg, hung from threaded rods with evenly spaced anchor points.
  • Electric hoist: motor-driven lifting and lowering, button control, brake holds the load when stopped.
  • Trolley running on the rail: rolls smoothly inside the rail, one push moves it the full length of the line.
  • End stops at both ends: keep the trolley within the working section, preventing it from running off the rail.

Benefits for Your Facility

No manual carrying

The hoist lifts and lowers by motor; the worker only hooks the load and presses a button.

Easy along the whole line

The trolley rolls smoothly inside the rail, so one push brings the load to where it is needed.

Keeps the aisle clear

The rail sits overhead, leaving enough room below for carts and pallets.

Frequently asked questions

What load does this overhead rail handle?

This 5T rail profile is rated at 200 kg and carries an electric hoist. FullSharp sizes the rail and hanger spacing to the real working load at each site.

How is the rail fixed to the building?

It hangs from threaded rods with evenly spaced anchor points. End stops at both ends keep the trolley within the working section.

Is it hard to push a hoist along the rail?

No. The trolley rolls smoothly inside the rail and one push moves it along the line. The hoist brake holds the load whenever it stops.

Installation Consultation for Your Facility

FullSharp surveys the required rail run and ceiling height to finalize the mounting method and number of anchor points. Our technicians review the actual goods, their weight and how often the equipment is used to choose a suitable hoist. We then hand over a layout drawing along with the installation plan.
