FullSharp installed a ceiling-mounted 5T rail along the warehouse drum route, rated for 200 kg, with a drum gripper that clamps the rim. Instead of two or three workers rolling a 200 kg drum and risking a tip-over, one operator clamps it, lifts it off the floor and pushes it along the rail to the platform or truck.
Rolling a 200 kg drum across the floor takes real effort and risks tipping it over, especially when lifting it onto a platform or truck. The warehouse is packed with stock, so a forklift can no longer get through. Moving a drum each time then takes two or three workers.
FullSharp installs a ceiling-mounted 5T rail running along the drum's usual route, rated for a 200 kg load. A drum gripper tool hangs below it and clamps onto the drum's rim. The operator just clamps, lifts it off the floor, and pushes it gently along the rail.
Ceiling-mounted 5T rail with a 200 kg drum gripper tool installed along the warehouse route.
Equipment Installed
- 5T steel rail: FullSharp's rail profile, rated for a 200 kg load, ceiling-mounted with threaded rods along the work route.
- Drum gripper tool: clamps onto the drum's rim, tightening automatically when lifted so the drum can't slip.
- Trolley and load hanger: runs smoothly inside the rail, so one person pushing by hand moves the drum along the track.
- Hanging rods and mounting plates: fixed to the roof beams or purlins, spacing the mounting points evenly so the rail doesn't sag.
Key Specifications

Benefits for the Plant
Keeps the floor clear
The whole system sits on the ceiling, so aisle space and stacking area stay unaffected.
Fewer tipped drums
The drum is clamped and lifted straight up instead of being rolled on its side across the floor.
One person handles it
Clamping, lifting, and pushing are all light work, so one worker can handle a drum on their own.

Frequently asked questions
What is the safest way to move a 200 kg drum?
Lift it with a drum gripper instead of rolling or tipping it. The gripper in this project clamps the drum rim and tightens as it lifts, so the drum cannot slip while it travels along the rail.
Why use a ceiling rail for drum handling?
When a warehouse is full of stock, a forklift cannot get through. A rail hung from the ceiling along the usual drum route keeps the floor free and lets one person move each drum.
Where is an overhead drum lifter used?
It is used in raw material drum stores, filling and mixing areas and truck loading stations, wherever drums are moved and lifted many times a day.

FullSharp surveys the drum's usual route, measures the roof structure and mounting height to fix the number of mounting points. Our technicians check the drum's diameter and rim to select the right gripper tool. We then finalize the rail length and travel stops before installing and training your team.
