500 kg Ceiling Rail with Drum Gripper

A full 200-liter drum is heavy and unstable to roll by hand, especially when it must be stood upright or placed onto a platform. A forklift with drum-clamping forks is bulky, and clean areas do not want forklifts driving in. The floor around the filling area also leaves no room for support columns.

FullSharp installs a ceiling-mounted 500 kg rail with a dedicated drum gripper tool. The tool clamps onto the drum's rim, gripping tighter under heavier loads, so the operator simply pushes gently to move the drum along the line and lower it into position.

Equipment Installed

500 kg rail: mounted to the roof structure, rated for half a ton, and running the full length of the work route.
Drum gripper tool: the clamp arms grip the drum's rim and tighten further under heavier loads, so it never slips.
Rail trolley: rollers travel inside the rail; a gentle push moves the drum, and it stays put when released.
Suspension set and rail end stops: hanger rods sized to the actual load, with stops at both ends to keep the trolley from running off the rail.

Key Specifications

Rail load capacity500 kg

Benefits for the Plant

No forklift needed

The clean area keeps its floor and air quality intact, with no forklift driving in.

Secure grip

The clamp grips the drum's rim and tightens further under load, so the drum never slips mid-transfer.

Clear floor space

The whole system stays overhead, so the aisle and filling area below remain unobstructed.

Suitable Applications

Chemical and lubricant warehouses using drums
Liquid material filling and mixing areas
Pharmaceutical and food plants using large drums
Drum staging and shipping/receiving stations
