FullSharp chose an aluminum rail jib crane with a KITO 160 kg hoist for spots where lifting covers only a few meters but repeats all shift. The light aluminum rail lets the arm swing smoothly by hand without a heavy steel beam, while the hoist lifts securely with a load-holding brake, enough for parts in this range.
At some spots in a plant, lifting only needs to cover a few meters, but it repeats all shift long. Installing a steel-beam jib crane for such a small area is heavy and demands more support structure than it's worth.
FullSharp chose an aluminum rail jib crane paired with a KITO 160 kg hoist. The lightweight aluminum rail lets the arm swing smoothly by hand, while the KITO hoist lifts and lowers securely with a load-holding brake, more than enough for parts within this load range.

The aluminum rail cuts the weight of the rotating section, so the arm swings without effort.
The column and arm take up little space, fitting small work areas in the plant.
The KITO hoist's brake keeps the load steady the moment you stop pulling, for accurate positioning.
For a small area and light loads, a steel beam needs more support than it is worth. An aluminum rail is light, so the arm swings easily by hand.
The KITO hoist in this project is rated at 160 kg, with a brake that holds the load. FullSharp sizes the arm to the real parts.
Fixed lifting spots beside machines, parts under 160 kg, repair and maintenance stations and loading areas for workbenches.
FullSharp surveys the working radius, clear height, and column footing. We then finalize the aluminum arm reach, the KITO hoist's lifting height, and the right column anchoring method.
