5T Rail with Electric Hoist in the Plant

In this work area, bins and part trays need to move between tables all day. Carrying them by hand seems small each trip, but adds up to real fatigue over a shift. The floor is already packed with machines and racks, leaving no room for ground-level transport equipment.

FullSharp installed a 5T rail running above this area, with a rated load of 200 kg matching the goods being handled. An electric hoist with a compact pendant control runs on the rail. Workers hook the load, press to lift, push the trolley to the next table, and lower it down.

5T Rail with Electric Hoist for a Plant Work Area

Equipment Installed

5T steel rail: FullSharp's rail section code, rated at 200 kg, part of the light overhead rail category.
Electric hoist: motor-driven lifting and lowering, with a brake holding the load and a limit switch on the lift travel.
Trolley and rollers: run smoothly inside the rail, so a light push moves the load without effort.
Hanger rods and mounting plates: fastened to the roof beam, spaced evenly to keep the rail straight under load.
Travel stops: fitted at both ends of the rail, keeping the trolley within the working section.

Benefits for Your Plant

Less manual carrying

The hoist handles every lift in the shift; workers only guide the direction and position.

No floor space used

The system sits overhead, leaving the floor free for machines, racks, and aisles.

Fits the production route

The rail runs exactly along the route goods already travel, with no need to rearrange the plant layout.

Consultation for Your Plant

FullSharp visits to check the route goods travel, measure ceiling height and load-bearing beams to determine how the rail should be hung. Our technicians weigh the actual load, count the number of lifts per shift, and select the right hoist and rail length. After the site survey, we provide a layout drawing along with an installation schedule.
