FullSharp hung the whole lifting system from the ceiling: a rail fixed to the roof trusses carries a 200 kg pneumatic crane that runs the full length of the rail. The floor stays exactly as it was, with no columns or foundation work, and the operator moves loads by pulling the handle while compressed air carries the weight.
Many factories want lifting equipment but their floor is already packed with machines and cart lanes. A standing crane column takes up space and requires foundation work that stops production. And when the load is only a few hundred kilograms, a double-girder crane is overkill.
FullSharp chose to hang the whole system from the ceiling: the rail is fixed to the roof structure, and a 200 kg pneumatic crane runs along it. The floor stays exactly as it was — the operator simply pulls the handle and the load follows along the entire length of the rail.

No columns, no foundation, so cart lanes and machine layout stay exactly as before.
Mostly just hanging the rail from the roof, with minimal construction so the plant barely has to stop.
Compressed air carries the heavy part, and workers only guide direction, so a full shift is less tiring.
Yes, if the roof structure can take the load. The rail is fixed to the trusses, so cart lanes and machine layout are not touched. FullSharp checks the structure before installation.
For loads of a few hundred kilograms a double-girder crane is more than the job needs. A 200 kg pneumatic crane on a light rail lifts smoothly and installs with little downtime.
Most of the work is hanging the rail from the roof, so construction is minimal and the plant barely has to stop. Exact time depends on rail length and site access.
FullSharp inspects the roof structure, the truss spacing, and the clear height before finalizing the mounting plan. We calculate the load at each hanging point, then propose a rail route that fits your existing traffic lanes. Contact FullSharp to schedule a survey.
