200 kg Line Lifting on 5T Overhead Rail, KITO Hoist

FullSharp mounted a 5T rail on the plant structure and fitted a KITO electric hoist on the trolley, so loads move along one fixed line without carts or extra people. The operator lifts with a pendant control, pushes the load along the rail to the drop point, and the brake holds it firmly whenever it stops, with no columns on the floor.

Loads need to move along one fixed line in the plant, and pushing carts or carrying by hand is slow and takes extra people. The plant floor also no longer has room for crane support columns.

FullSharp mounts a 5T rail on the plant structure and fits a KITO electric hoist on the trolley. Loads are lifted and then travel along the rail to the drop point, operated with a pendant control, with the brake holding the load firmly when stopped.

Equipment installed

5T rail: load-bearing steel rail, joined with flange plates to run the line along the length of the plant.
Ceiling suspension system: threaded rods and clamps connect to the plant structure, with adjustable height.
KITO electric hoist: lifting motor paired with the trolley, operated with a pendant control.
Rail trolley: rollers slide smoothly inside the rail, limiting vibration under load.

Rated load200 kg

Benefits for the plant

No floor space used

The rail and hoist sit overhead, so the floor area below stays free for production.

Fixed travel path

Loads follow the fixed rail, keeping the transport route tidy with fewer collisions.

Low maintenance

The KITO hoist runs reliably, needing only periodic checks of the brake and suspension.

Frequently asked questions

What is a 5T rail?

It is a load-bearing steel rail profile that FullSharp uses for light crane lines. Sections are joined with flange plates so the line can run along the length of the plant, hung from the ceiling structure.

Why use an electric hoist on a rail instead of a cart?

Pushing carts or carrying by hand along a fixed line is slow and takes extra people. A hoist on a rail lifts the load and carries it overhead to the drop point, and the floor stays clear.

Does the hoist hold the load when stopped?

Yes. The KITO electric hoist has a brake that holds the load firmly when the operator releases the pendant button. FullSharp sizes rail and hoist to the real load.

FullSharp surveys the ceiling structure, the length of line needed, and the load weight to determine the number of rail sections and the spacing of suspension points. Our engineers select the hoist capacity, lifting stroke, and power supply method. Contact FullSharp to schedule a site survey.
