Textile Mill Fabric Roll Lifting on a 200 kg 5T Rail

FullSharp installed a 5T rail rated 200 kg between the warehouse and the machines, carrying a FullSharp air balancer with a fabric roll clamp. Each roll is clamped once and travels straight to the machine without the two lifts a hand truck needs, and the balancer holds it steady so it lines up with the shaft first time.

Large fabric rolls exceed manual lifting capacity, yet dozens of rolls must move between the warehouse and the machines every shift. Using a hand truck still means lifting the roll up and down twice per trip.

FullSharp installs a 5T rail rated at 200 kg carrying a FullSharp air balancer with a fabric roll clamp. The roll is clamped once, then travels straight along the rail to its destination, skipping the up-and-down lifting step entirely. The air balancer keeps the roll suspended, so aligning it to the machine shaft takes very little effort.

Equipment Installed

5T rail rated at 200 kg: a durable structure running the full route between the warehouse and the machine area.
FullSharp air balancer: balances the roll's weight, lifting and lowering by hand pressure, and stopping at any height.
Fabric roll clamp: clamps to the actual roll diameter, holding firmly while moving.
Trolley: rolls smoothly inside the rail, easy to pull even with a heavy roll attached.

Benefits for Your Facility

Skips the manual lift

Clamp once and travel straight along the rail, saving two lifts per trip.

Precise machine alignment

The roll stays steady while suspended, so it aligns to the machine shaft correctly the first time.

Suits low ceilings

The horizontal hoist uses little vertical clearance while still giving enough lifting travel.

Frequently asked questions

How do you move heavy fabric rolls without lifting them twice?

Clamp the roll once and run it along an overhead rail to the machine. That skips loading and unloading a hand truck, saving two lifts per trip.

Does an air balancer suit low ceilings?

The horizontal balancer used here needs little vertical clearance while still giving enough lifting travel, which suits low ceilings.

How is the roll aligned with the machine shaft?

The air balancer keeps the roll suspended and stops at any height with light hand pressure, so the roll is steady and aligns with the shaft on the first try.

Consultation for Your Facility

FullSharp weighs the roll, measures its diameter, and surveys the travel route before finalizing the load capacity. Our engineers design the rail system and clamp to match the facility's specific rolls. The system is installed, load-tested, and only then handed over.
