5 Ton Manual and Geared Beam Trolleys

Our 5-ton trolleys are designed to fit a range of standard I-beams and wide-flange H-beams. It is crucial to verify the beam's flange width and thickness to ensure a secure fit. Always consult the product specifications or contact our specialists to confirm compatibility with your specific beam profile.

Measure the width of the bottom flange of your I-beam. Our trolleys are adjustable to accommodate a specific range of flange widths. The product documentation lists the minimum and maximum allowable widths. Selecting the correct range ensures the trolley operates safely and smoothly without binding or excessive play.

Standard beam trolleys are designed for straight beams. Using them on curved beams can cause premature wear and create unsafe conditions. If your application involves a curved track, please contact our support team to discuss specialized trolleys designed for that purpose.

Our trolleys are engineered for safety and feature heavy-duty side plates, hardened wheels for durability, and safety lugs to prevent dropping. Geared models offer controlled movement to prevent load shock. All components are designed to meet or exceed industry standards for material handling equipment.

Lead times can vary based on configuration and stock levels, but many of our components are available for fast or expedited shipping. While some fully assembled systems ship in 8-10 weeks, individual trolleys and hoists often ship much faster. Contact us to confirm availability for your specific needs.

Regular maintenance is minimal but crucial for safety and longevity. This includes periodic inspection of wheels, bearings, and safety lugs for wear or damage. Bearings should be lubricated according to the manufacturer's schedule. For geared trolleys, the hand chain and gear mechanism should also be inspected and lubricated.
