Small Workshop Lifting with a KITO Hoist Jib Crane

FullSharp installed an overhead jib crane on a 5T rail fixed to the existing structure, with a KITO electric hoist for lifting and a hand-push trolley for horizontal travel. The whole system hangs overhead so the workshop floor stays free, and only the hoist uses power, which keeps the investment reasonable for lifting at a few nearby spots.

Floor space is tight, with every square meter already taken up by machines and stock, leaving no room to erect a jib crane column. The lifting work is also confined to a few nearby spots, so a double-girder crane would be overkill.

FullSharp installs an overhead jib crane on a 5T rail mounted to the existing structure. A KITO electric hoist handles the lifting, while horizontal travel is done by hand-pushed trolley - no extra motor or control panel needed.

Overhead Jib Crane with KITO Electric Hoist, Push-Trolley Type

Equipment Installed

KITO electric hoist: lifts and lowers by motor, controlled with a pendant, with a firm holding brake when stopped.
Overhead jib crane: hung from the structure above, with no support column taking up floor space.
5T rail: the travel path for the trolley, joined in sections to match the length of the work area.
Push-type trolley: a light pull slides it along the rail, using no power for the travel function.

Benefits for Your Facility

Saves floor space

The whole system hangs overhead, leaving the workshop floor free for production.

Reasonable investment

Only the hoisting function uses power, while the push-trolley travel keeps cost and maintenance low.

Familiar to operate

Simple up/down pendant control - workers can operate it right after a brief introduction.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose a push trolley instead of a motorized one?

For short travel within a small area a hand-push trolley is enough. It needs no extra motor or control panel, which lowers cost and maintenance while the electric hoist still does the lifting.

Can a jib crane be installed without a floor column?

Yes. An overhead jib hangs from the building structure, so no column takes floor space. FullSharp checks the structure before mounting the rail.

How does the KITO electric hoist hold the load?

It lifts and lowers by motor through a pendant control, and its brake holds the load firmly as soon as the button is released. The load stays at the set height while the operator pushes the trolley by hand.
