Manual Push Trolley

A manual push trolley mounts on the lower flange of an I-beam or H-beam and carries a manual chain hoist, an electric chain hoist or a winch. The trolley moves along the beam as the operator pushes or pulls the suspended load, with no motor and no drive chain. It suits light to medium loads and relatively low beams, where the operator can reach the load easily. The trolley width is set to the beam flange using spacer washers on the main shaft. When adjusting, the washers must be divided equally on both sides of the beam so the trolley sits centred and the load is balanced. The wheels are steel and run on sealed bearings. End stops, welded or bolted, must be fitted at both ends of the beam so the trolley cannot run off the track. For high beams or heavy loads, where pushing the load by hand is difficult, a geared trolley or an electric trolley is a better fit. The model table lists the lifting capacity and flange width range for each model.
