Lifting Along the Line with a KITO Hoist on a 5T Rail

FullSharp installs a 5T overhead rail with a 200 kg rated load along a machine line, with a KITO electric hoist on a trolley for parts lifted on and off machine tables many times per shift. The pendant controls the hoist, the brake holds the load steady, and a light push moves it along the rail with no crane on the floor.

A machining station needs to lift parts on and off the machine table many times per shift, each load modest but repeated constantly. Lifting by hand tires workers and makes it hard to place parts precisely. A floor-mounted crane would block the walkway around the machine.

FullSharp installs a 5T overhead rail (200 kg rated load) hung from the roof truss along the machine line. A trolley on the rail carries a KITO electric hoist, lifting and lowering with a push-button pendant and holding the load steady when released. The operator only needs a light push to move the load along the rail.

5T Overhead Rail with KITO Electric Hoist

5T overhead rail with KITO electric hoist installed along the machine line in the shop.

Equipment Installed

5T steel rail: overhead rail, 200 kg rated load, cut to length to match the shop's machine line.
KITO electric hoist: electric-motor lifting with a reliable brake, controlled by a push-button pendant.
Travel trolley: runs inside the rail, moved by a light push for precise positioning at the machine table.
Hanger rods and truss clamps: anchor to the roof structure, spreading the load evenly across hanging points.
End stops: fitted at both ends of the rail to limit the trolley's travel range.

Benefits for Your Facility

Push-button lifting

The electric hoist handles the lifting, so the operator only aims the drop point.

Clear shop floor

With no floor-mounted post, carts and workers move freely around the machine.

Consistent repeat motion

Every lift is the same, so parts do not knock against the machine table.

Frequently asked questions

What load does this overhead rail carry?

The 5T steel rail here has a 200 kg rated load and is cut to length to match the machine line. FullSharp sizes the rail to the real parts.

Why choose an overhead rail over a floor jib?

A floor-mounted crane would block the walkway around the machines. The overhead rail hangs from the roof truss and leaves the floor free.

How precise is positioning with this setup?

The trolley moves with a light push for precise positioning, and the KITO hoist holds the load steady when the pendant button is released.

FullSharp measures the truss span, ceiling height, and machine line to determine the hanging points. Our technicians select the hoist based on actual load and lift frequency, then install the rail, run a load test, and explain the periodic inspection routine.
