FullSharp installs a ceiling-mounted aluminum rail with an electric hoist for plants packed with machinery and roofs that cannot carry a heavy steel beam. The light rail adds little load to the roof, hanger rods go up quickly and nothing touches the floor, while the hoist lifts and workers push the load along the line.
The plant is already packed with machinery and its aisles leave no room to erect columns for a crane. Light-to-medium loads still have to be carried by hand through each stage, which is slow and tiring. In many places, the roof structure also cannot bear the weight of a heavy steel beam.
FullSharp installs a ceiling-mounted aluminum rail carrying an electric hoist along the line. The aluminum rail is light, so the load on the roof is small, hanger rods go up quickly, and there is no need to touch the floor at all. The electric hoist handles the lifting and lowering, and workers simply push the load along the rail to the right spot.

Aluminum rail is lighter than a steel beam of the same length, so the existing roof structure is usually strong enough.
The whole system sits overhead, so aisles and machine layouts stay exactly as they are.
Aluminum does not rust, making it suited to humid areas or mild chemical fumes, with little maintenance painting required.
Aluminum is much lighter, so it puts less load on roofs that cannot carry a heavy steel beam. Its smooth inner surface also lets the trolley run quietly.
Threaded rods and hanger brackets are fixed to purlins or roof beams, with spacing calculated to match the load. FullSharp checks the roof structure before installing.
No. Everything hangs from above, so aisles between machines stay clear. The electric hoist handles lifting, and workers push the load to the right spot.
FullSharp visits your plant to measure ceiling height, purlin type, and the load to be lifted, then selects the aluminum rail and hanger rod spacing. Our engineers plot the rail route along the actual path of your goods before finalizing the length. Contact FullSharp for an on-site survey.
