Product Overview

What The Geared Trolley Is

A geared trolley adds a hand chain and a gear train to the plain trolley. The operator stands on the floor and turns the hand chain to drive the trolley along the beam, which gives precise positioning even when the beam is high above the working level.

The same lifetime lubricated sealed ball bearings and contour cast iron wheels are used as on the plain trolley, and beam width is set by changing the number of spacers.

Key Benefits

Why Buyers Choose This Product

Positioning From The Floor

The hand chain reaches the operator, so a load on a high beam is positioned precisely without climbing.

Controlled Travel Under Load

Gearing means the trolley does not run away when the load swings or the beam is not level.

Same Wheels And Bearings As The Plain Trolley

Lifetime lubricated sealed ball bearings and contour cast iron wheels give quiet running and long flange life.

Fits A Range Of Beams

Spacer adjustment covers I beam widths from 64 mm to 203 mm depending on size.

Application Scenarios

Where It Is Used And Who It Is For

Application Scenarios

  • High level runway beams in workshops and plants
  • Precise positioning of machines during installation
  • Foundry, forge and heat treatment bays
  • Long monorail runs where a push travel is impractical

Who It Is For

  • Plants with high runway beams
  • Installation contractors positioning machinery
  • Distributors of manual lifting equipment
  • Hire fleets
Problems It Solves

The Sourcing Problems This Product Removes

The beam is too high to push the load by hand

Solution. The hand chain brings control down to the operator at floor level.

Loads run away on a beam that is not level

Solution. The gear train holds the travel position instead of letting the trolley roll.

Positioning has to be accurate to the millimetre

Solution. Hand chain travel gives fine control that a pushed trolley cannot match.

How To Use The Geared Trolley Safely

  1. Set the spacers for the beam flange width before mounting the trolley.
  2. Confirm the beam can carry the trolley, the hoist and the load together.
  3. Fit end stops on the beam before the trolley is put into service.
  4. Order the hand chain long enough to reach the operator with slack to spare.
  5. Inspect the gear train and the wheels at the scheduled interval.
FAQ

Geared Trolley FAQ
