In a solvent mixing area where electrical equipment over the tanks is restricted, FullSharp installed its 5T steel rail rated 200 kg with an ENDO pneumatic hoist. The hoist runs on the plant's existing compressed air, so there is no electric motor overhead, and the load stops and holds the moment the operator releases the cord or lever.
In a mixing area with solvents, plants restrict electrical equipment hanging over the tanks. Yet workers still need to raise and lower cans, trays, and parts many times a shift. Doing it by hand in the tight space between tanks is slow and unsafe.
FullSharp installed a 5T rail rated at 200 kg running along the work area, carrying an ENDO pneumatic hoist. The hoist draws air from the plant's existing compressed-air system, with no electric motor overhead. The operator pulls a cord or presses a lever to lift and lower; the load holds still the moment they let go.
5T rail with ENDO pneumatic hoist installed above the work area in the plant.
The air-driven hoist can be used in areas with solvents and flammable vapors.
The pneumatic mechanism is simple; maintenance is mainly filter changes and periodic lubrication.
Releasing the control stops the hoist instantly, freeing the worker's hands to adjust the placement.
An air-driven hoist has no electric motor and produces no electrical sparks. In this project an ENDO pneumatic hoist takes air from the plant's compressed-air system. Specific hazardous-area ratings should be confirmed for each site.
5T is FullSharp's code for a steel rail profile, not a 5 tonne capacity. Here the rail is rated 200 kg and forms the track that carries the hoist trolley to each tank or workbench.
The mechanism is simple, so maintenance is mainly changing air filters and periodic lubrication. Clean, dry air from the plant supply helps it run reliably.
FullSharp checks the plant's available air pressure and flow rate before selecting the hoist. Our technicians measure the rail run, mounting height, and distance to the air supply point to plan the piping. After the survey, we provide an installation plan with a materials list.
