Many plants want to install an electric hoist, but their sheet-metal roof and trusses cannot bear a suspended load. Welding a frame on site makes it hard to keep the rail straight, so the trolley jams and its wheels wear out quickly.

FullSharp supplies a modular 5T rail support frame, pre-fabricated to drawing and bolted together on site. The frame is matched to the KITO electric hoist, keeping the rail straight from the start so the hoist runs smoothly with less wear.

5T Rail Support Frame for KITO Electric Hoist

Steel 5T rail support frame installed for a KITO electric hoist in the plant.

Installed Equipment

  • I- and H-section steel frame: strong load capacity, powder-coated against rust, standing on the floor so no roof load-bearing capacity is required.
  • Guide rail: aligned to drawing specifications, keeping the hoist and trolley running smoothly along the entire line.
  • Hangers and connecting bolts: fasten the frame sections tightly, with height adjustment for fine-tuning the rail.
  • Modular design: extra sections can be added later to extend the rail without dismantling what is already installed.

Benefits for Your Plant

No reliance on the roof

The self-supporting frame stands on the floor, so it fits sheet-metal-roofed plants and leased facilities alike.

Straight rail, smooth running

Pre-fabricated to drawing, so the rail does not warp and the trolley and hoist wear less.

Extendable later

The modular structure lets you add rail sections as your plant expands, without starting over.

FullSharp measures the length of the line, the clear ceiling height, and checks the floor where the frame legs will sit. Our engineers select the steel section size and column spacing based on your actual load and span, then send drawings for your approval. Tell us your floor plan and the hoist type you plan to install.
