Overhead Hoist Trolley Systems

The best trolley depends on capacity, frequency, and precision requirements. For heavy loads and constant use, a motorized trolley offers powered, controlled movement. For lighter loads or less frequent adjustments, a manual push trolley or a geared trolley (for more precise manual control) can be a cost-effective and reliable solution.

While we specialize in overhead cranes, which are distinct from conveyors, the material handling principles are similar. Common overhead systems include bridge cranes with trolleys for versatile area coverage, monorail systems for a fixed path, and gantry cranes. Each uses a hoist and trolley to move loads overhead.

Choose a push trolley for light loads and infrequent moves where manual positioning is easy. A geared trolley uses a hand chain for better manual control of heavier loads. Select a motorized trolley for heavy loads, frequent use, long runways, or when precise, powered control from a pendant or remote is required for safety and efficiency.

Our overhead hoist trolley systems are available in a wide range of capacities to suit various industrial needs. Our fully assembled bridge cranes and kits support loads from as light as 1/8 ton (250 lbs) up to 20 tons (40,000 lbs), ensuring a solution for both light-duty and heavy-duty lifting operations.

Yes, our systems are designed for versatility. Both our fully assembled bridge cranes and crane kits can be configured for top-running or underhung runway types, making them compatible with most existing industrial runway structures. Our specialists can help confirm compatibility with your specific setup before you order.

We pride ourselves on rapid manufacturing. Our fully assembled bridge crane systems typically ship within 8-10 weeks from the time of order. This is significantly faster than the industry standard of up to 40 weeks, helping you minimize project delays and operational downtime and get to work faster.
