Many plants need to move goods regularly between machines, but the floor is already packed with equipment. Carts have to squeeze through narrow aisles — slow and prone to collisions — while carrying parts weighing several hundred kilograms by hand simply isn't feasible.

FullSharp installs a 5T ceiling-mounted rail system, using a pneumatic lifting cylinder combined with a mechanical gripper rated for 200 kg working loads. Goods are clamped, lifted, and run along the overhead rail line straight to where they're needed, with nothing in the way on the floor below.

5T Ceiling-Mounted Steel Rail with Lifting Cylinder and Mechanical Gripper

Equipment Installed

  • 5T ceiling-mounted rail system: a load-bearing rail suspended from the roof structure, with its line tracking the exact path goods travel.
  • Lifting cylinder: a fixed lifting stroke driven by compressed air, giving even speed and easy stop-point control.
  • Mechanical gripper: clamps using a mechanical mechanism — the heavier the load, the tighter the grip — with no dependence on electrical power.
  • Rail trolley: a hand push moves the whole unit along the line, stopping exactly where each machine needs to be fed.

Benefits for Your Facility

No floor space used

Goods travel overhead, so walkways and machine layouts stay exactly as they are — no need to reorganize the plant.

Secure grip, fewer failures

The mechanical gripper has few electronic parts, so it runs reliably and is simple to maintain.

Consistent cycles

The cylinder's fixed stroke makes every lift identical, so operators get faster with practice.
