Geared trolley for electric chain hoist

What is a Geared Trolley?

A geared trolley is a motorized travel mechanism that attaches to an electric chain hoist, enabling precise horizontal movement along a runway beam. Unlike unpowered or push-type trolleys, it features an independent geared motor that provides positive drive, eliminating manual effort and ensuring controlled, safe load positioning, even with heavy or awkward loads.

Core Features & Beneficios

• 1. Superior Geared Drive System:

  • Feature: Equipped with a high-torque, thermal-protected motor connected to a precision-engineered gear train.
  • Benefit: Delivers smooth, controlled travel with excellent starting and stopping accuracy. The gear reduction provides the power to move heavy loads effortlessly and prevents “coasting,” enhancing operational safety.

• 2. Exceptional Load Capacity & Durability:

  • Feature: Constructed from high-grade forged alloy steel or high-tensile steel components. Available in capacities ranging from 1 ton to over 20 tons to match your hoist’s rating.
  • Benefit: Built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, ensuring long-term reliability and reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

• 3. Universal Top-Running Design:

  • Feature: Designed as a top-running unit, meaning it rides on the top flange of the I-beam. The wheel tread and flange are precision-machined to fit a wide range of standard beam widths.
  • Benefit: Offers easy installation and compatibility with most existing runway systems, providing flexibility and reducing the need for custom fabrication.

• 4. Enhanced Safety & Control:

  • Feature: Includes integral end stops to prevent the wheels from disengaging from the beam. Operates via a pendant control or wireless remote, often integrated with the hoist’s own controls for intuitive operation.
  • Benefit: Provides operators with complete command over load movement, significantly reducing the risk of accidents caused by swinging loads or imprecise positioning.

• 5. Sealed & Lubricated for Long Life:

  • Feature: Features sealed pre-lubricated ball bearings on all wheels and drive shafts.
  • Benefit: Protects internal components from contaminants like dust, moisture, and metal chips, ensuring smooth operation and extending the service life of the trolley, even in harsh workshop conditions.

• 2. Improved Safety: Eliminates the need for manual pushing/pulling of heavy loads.
• 3. Precision Handling: Allows for pinpoint accurate load placement.
• 4. Proven Durability: Engineered for minimal maintenance and maximum uptime.
• 5. Seamless Compatibility: Pairs perfectly with leading brands of electric chain hoists.

When selecting a geared trolley, ensure its rated capacity meets or exceeds that of your hoist. Verify the beam width (flange to flange) of your runway system to guarantee a proper fit. For specialized environments (P.EJ., corrosive, explosive, or high-temperature), please consult our engineering team for customized solutions.

Investing in a high-quality geared trolley is investing in the efficiency, seguridad, and future of your material handling operations. It is the critical link that unlocks the full potential of your electric chain hoist.
