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 & Benefits

• 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.
