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 Drum Gripper Tool for 200 kg Drums

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.

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.
