This assembly solves the problem of hanging heavy implements from a drop ceiling by bypassing its load-bearing capacity. Separate from the drop ceiling track and hangar wires, the user installs an anchor into the structural ceiling, places a rod in the anchor, and attaches to the other end of the rod a track piece formed to fit around the ceiling track. The track piece has two prongs, each with a hole for a screw on the bottom, with the ceiling track passing through the space between the prongs. The user screws a plate or a track for ceiling lights to the bottom of each prong, then attaches the desired hanging implement to the plate or lighting track.
