Plain, geared or electric trolley?

Plain (push) trolleys are moved by pushing the load. They suit lighter loads and short, infrequent travel. Geared trolleys are driven by a hand chain, which gives precise positioning and makes heavier loads (generally 2 tons and up) easier to move safely. Electric trolleys travel under power from a pendant and pair with electric chain hoists for frequent or long runs.

Beam clamps, plate clamps and beam anchors

A beam clamp bolts or screws onto a beam flange to give a fixed hook point for a chain or lever hoist without welding. Plate and screw-cam clamps grip steel plate for vertical or horizontal lifting. Beam anchors are fall-protection or rigging anchor points that slide or clamp on a beam.

FAQ

How do I size a beam trolley?
Match three things: capacity equal to or greater than the hoist rating, a flange-width range that covers your beam (measure the bottom flange), and a minimum curve radius if the track is curved. Adjustable trolleys cover a range of flange widths with spacer washers or a threaded shaft.

When should I choose a geared trolley over a plain trolley?
Choose geared when the load is heavy enough that pushing it is hard to control, when the beam is high overhead, or when the load needs to be positioned precisely. Plain trolleys are fine for lighter loads moved short distances.

Can I hang a hoist from a beam clamp instead of a trolley?
Yes, when the hoist does not need to travel. A beam clamp gives a fixed suspension point. The clamp rating must equal or exceed the hoist capacity, and the beam itself must be rated for the load.

What does spark resistant mean on a trolley or clamp?
Spark-resistant units use bronze, stainless or plated components so metal-to-metal contact will not throw sparks, for use in explosive or flammable atmospheres such as paint shops, refineries and grain handling.
