Overhead Lifting with an ENDO Air Hoist on 5T Rail

FullSharp hung a 5T rail rated for 200 kg from the ceiling with threaded rods and fitted an ENDO pneumatic hoist on the trolley, for lifting jobs spread along a long line where a crane column would block the aisle. The hoist is controlled by a lever and stops at any height without the load drifting, while the trolley runs the full length.

Lifting work is spread along a long line rather than concentrated at one point, so installing a crane column in the middle of the plant would use up floor space and block the aisle. The floor is already packed with machines, leaving no room for a base.

FullSharp hangs a 5T rail rated for 200 kg from the ceiling structure using threaded rods, with the trolley running smoothly along the entire line. On the trolley sits an ENDO pneumatic hoist, raised and lowered with a lever and able to stop at any height without the load drifting.

Installed Equipment

5T rail: formed steel rail with a 200 kg working load, joinable in multiple sections to extend the line.
Threaded rod suspension set: bolted to the purlin or ceiling beam, height-adjustable to keep the rail straight and level.
Rail trolley: wheels run inside the rail track; one person can push it smoothly.
ENDO pneumatic hoist: lifts with air, sparks no flame, and stops exactly at the lever position.

Benefits for Your Plant

No floor space used

The entire load hangs from the ceiling, leaving the plant floor clear for machines and carts.

Runs the whole line

The trolley carries the hoist to any point on the rail, with no need to carry loads by hand along the middle section.

Smooth lifting

The pneumatic hoist slows gradually, so the load doesn't jerk when it stops.

Frequently asked questions

What lifting system suits work spread along a long line?

A ceiling-mounted rail with a hoist on a trolley. It covers the whole line from above, so there is no column in the aisle, and the rail can be joined in sections to extend it.

Can an air hoist stop at any height?

Yes. The ENDO pneumatic hoist in this project is controlled by a lever and holds the load at the chosen height without drifting, which helps when fitting parts or changing molds.

How is the rail kept straight and level?

The rail hangs on threaded rod sets bolted to purlins or ceiling beams, and each rod can be adjusted in height. FullSharp sets the rail level during installation so the trolley runs smoothly.

Installation Consulting for Your Plant

FullSharp checks the ceiling structure to see whether the purlins can bear the suspended load or if extra support beams are needed, then measures the required line length. From there we finalize the number of rail sections, the spacing of suspension points, and the hoist hook height. Contact FullSharp to have a technician measure the plant on site.
