Spark-Free Lifting with an ENDO Air Hoist, 5T Rail

FullSharp installs an overhead 5T steel rail with an ENDO pneumatic hoist for areas with solvents or combustible dust, where an electric motor at the lifting head is a concern. The hoist runs on air with no electrical sparking, lifts and lowers smoothly to the centimeter, and the trolley moves heavy goods along the plant floor.

In areas with solvents or combustible dust, using an electric motor right at the lifting head is something worth thinking twice about. Yet the goods still weigh a great deal and must move along the plant floor many times a day.

FullSharp installs an overhead 5T steel rail, hanging an ENDO pneumatic hoist from Japan beneath it. The hoist runs on air pressure, so it generates no electrical sparking, lifts and lowers smoothly, and can be adjusted down to the centimeter.

5T Overhead Rail with ENDO Pneumatic Hoist

Overhead 5T steel rail with ENDO pneumatic hoist installed on the plant's structural frame.

Equipment Installed

Overhead steel rail: rated for 5T, fixed permanently to the plant's structural frame.
ENDO pneumatic hoist: Japanese-made, lifts and lowers using air pressure, smooth in operation and free of sparking.
Rail trolley: pulls goods flexibly along the rail line.
Pneumatic control valve system: gives precise lifting and lowering control at the operator's command.
Suspension fittings: brackets, hanger rods, and anchor bolts that keep the structure safe.

Frequently asked questions

Why use a pneumatic hoist in solvent or dust areas?

A pneumatic hoist runs on air pressure, so there is no electric motor at the lifting head and no electrical sparking. FullSharp reviews the site conditions before recommending it.

How precise is a pneumatic hoist?

Lifting and lowering are smooth and can be adjusted down to the centimeter through the pneumatic control valves, which helps when goods must be set into an exact spot.

How is the rail fixed in the plant?

The steel rail is fixed permanently to the plant's structural frame with brackets, hanger rods and anchor bolts, and the trolley pulls goods along the rail line.

Installation Consulting for Your Facility

FullSharp checks the plant's structural frame, available compressed air supply, and the heaviest load before finalizing the configuration. We select the ENDO hoist to match the actual lifting height, install it, load-test it, and hand it over on site.
