Installation

Installation Procedures

Measure the width of the runway beam

Loosen the hex nuts on the stay bolts and remove the side

plate

Adjust the width of the trolley to match the beam width by

using the appropriate number of washers to spread apart

the side plates

Leave a slight clearance of about 1/8 inch between the

edge of the beam flange and the wheel flange

Make sure the suspension plate is centered and you have

equal number of washers on each side of it

Put the remaining washers on the outside of the side

plates. On gear trolleys, the equalizer pin must be offset as

to not interfere with the chain wheel. Do so by putting more

washers on the side opposite to the chain wheel

Reassemble the trolley on the beam and tighten slightly by

hand

Make sure all wheels are in contact with the beam flange

Tighten the hex nuts to the torque specified in the table

below

Install stoppers on the runway beam or other means of

preventing the trolley from rolling off unintentionally

ATTENTION

When installing the trolley on curved beams, orient trolley

with the gear wheels and the chain wheel on the outside of the

curve.

Refer to the table below for the minimum radii of

curvature compatible with each model as measured on the inside

of the curved beam.

Operation

Operation Procedures

Prior to lifting, make sure the lift can be performed safely

and the lift path is clear

Ensure the beam is of suitable capacity for the load and

will not be damaged by the trolley rolling on the flange

Make sure the beam is fitted with stops at both ends to

prevent the trolley from rolling off

Make sure the load is properly centered below the trolley

Verify that all lifting devices used (including the trolley) are

properly fastened and of suitable working load limit

While performing the lift, do not let people to stay in or

cross the “fall zone” under the trolley

While performing the lift, do not allow the load to swing or

to move briskly

If using a push trolley, push the load from behind to move it

If using a gear trolley, steadily pull down on the hand chain

to move the load

At the end of the travel path slow down the load gently and

do not allow the trolley to hit the stoppers

WARNING

NEVER stay or pass through the “fall zone” under the

trolley.

ALWAYS keep your hands and feet away from the “fall

zone” under the trolley.

deficiencies are noted, stop using the trolley until it is repaired or

replaced.

Suggested Daily Inspection List

Check for cracks or distortions in the structural frame,

welds or mechanical components

Check for loose or missing fasteners or other components

Check if trolley rolls smoothly

Check for signs of heat damage or weld splatter

Check for excessive wear on load bearing parts like, but not

limited to the wheels, the suspension pin, the thread, etc.

Make sure the nameplate and the warning labels are

present and legible

ATTENTION

A qualified person must inspect regularly and in depth the

trolley and its components to ensure the equipment is safe for

use. These inspections may vary in frequency and detail

according to the intensity of the equipment use but must include

at least the daily inspection procedure.

The user is responsible for keeping dated records of all

periodic inspections and maintenance procedures as means of
