Workstation Lifting with a Compact Hoist, 5T Jib

For a small workstation that lifts parts of tens of kilograms all shift, FullSharp built a jib crane on its 5T steel rail rated 200 kg with a compact 200 kg hoist. The hoist lifts quickly and stops exactly in place so parts land accurately in the fixture, and the wide swing reaches many points from one spot.

A small workstation may only need to lift parts weighing tens of kilograms, but it happens repeatedly through the whole shift. Carrying by hand is tiring, and lowering the part precisely is difficult, risking a knock against the fixture. The area is also tight, so the lifting equipment has to be truly compact.

FullSharp built a jib crane on a 5T rail frame (200 kg rated load) to get a sturdy yet lightweight structure. The arm's end carries a compact 200 kg hoist, lifting and lowering quickly and stopping exactly in place. A wide swing angle means a single standing position can reach many work points.

Benefits for the Plant

Compact for tight spaces

Both the frame and the hoist are small, fitting neatly into stations with little floor area.

Fast lifting, precise placement

The hoist has a fast travel and stops smoothly, so parts land accurately in the fixture.

Less arm fatigue

No more carrying parts repeatedly by hand — the operator only guides the direction.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a jib crane for light parts?

Even light parts lifted repeatedly tire the arms and risk knocking the fixture. A compact hoist lifts quickly and stops smoothly for accurate placement.

How compact is this jib crane?

Both the 5T rail frame and the hoist are small, fitting stations with little floor area while staying stable. The trolley brings the hook to each pick-up point.

What does 5T mean for the rail?

5T is FullSharp's code for a steel rail section, not a 5 tonne rating. This rail is rated 200 kg. It is sturdy yet light enough for a compact station.
