FullSharp installed an overhead rail fixed to the concrete ceiling with rods and brackets, carrying a KITO 200 kg hoist, for a production area on the 4th floor with no room for a forklift. Loads of several hundred kilograms are lifted and moved overhead instead of being carried by hand through narrow aisles, and the floor below stays clear.

Production areas located on upper floors are often narrow, with no room for a forklift. Loads weighing several hundred kilograms have to be carried by hand through narrow aisles, which is both slow and dangerous for both people and product.

FullSharp installed an overhead rail with a suspension rod and bracket system fixed to the concrete ceiling, supporting a KITO 200 kg hoist. The trolley carries the hoist along the rail, so loads are lifted and moved right overhead while the floor below stays clear for work.

Overhead Rail with KITO 200kg Hoist on an Upper Floor

Overhead rail with a KITO 200kg hoist installed at a production area on an upper floor.

Equipment Installed

  • Load-bearing steel rail: sized to the required load, anti-rust coated, length matched to the working line.
  • Suspension rods and brackets: fixed securely to the concrete ceiling or structural beams, with suspension point spacing pre-calculated.
  • KITO 200 kg hoist: smooth and precise lifting and lowering, suited to repeated daily operation.
  • Trolley: slides smoothly along the rail, stopping stably to position loads accurately.
  • Travel end stops: fitted at both ends of the rail, keeping the trolley within a safe range.

Key Specifications

  • Hoist load capacity200 kg
  • Hoist brandKITO

Benefits for the Plant

Works on upper floors

The suspension structure is calculated to the actual ceiling, so it can be safely installed even on the 4th floor.

Floor space returned

With no support columns, the area below still has room for workbenches and aisles.

Stable lifting

The KITO hoist runs smoothly and stops firmly, staying consistent through many repeated cycles a day.

Suitable Applications

  • Production and assembly areas located on upper floors
  • Plants with narrow floor space that forklifts cannot enter
  • Fixed feeding and finished-goods stations along a line
  • Equipment maintenance areas in multi-story plants

Frequently asked questions

How do you lift loads in an upper floor workshop?

A rail hung from the concrete ceiling with a hoist is a practical choice. It needs no forklift and no columns, which upper floors rarely have room for.

How is the rail fixed to a concrete ceiling?

With a suspension rod and bracket system anchored to the slab. FullSharp checks the ceiling during the survey to confirm it can carry the load.

What hoist is used here?

A KITO hoist rated at 200 kg runs on a trolley along the rail, so loads move right overhead from point to point. The floor under the rail stays clear for daily work.

Consultation for Your Plant

FullSharp checks the floor and ceiling structure of the installation floor to calculate safe suspension points. After the survey, we finalize the rail length, the number of suspension rods, and the placement of the travel end stops.
