The BEAMNOVA 3-ton manual trolley adapts to I-beams and H-beams with flange widths from 3.66″ to 8.46″. The width can be adjusted with washers to secure a snug fit. Constructed from manganese steel, it offers corrosion resistance and a high load capacity up to 6614 lbs. Safety features include hex nuts, collision bumpers, and anti-drop pins to support reliable operation on curved or straight beams.
BEAMNOVA Electric Hoist Manual Trolley 1 Ton
This BEAMNOVA trolley fits standard or wide flange I-beam tracks and combines electric functionality with a manual trolley base. A side locking nut with an anti-loose design helps prevent detachment during operation. The manganese steel frame is powder-coated for wear resistance, and the unit is designed to work with PA600, PA700, PA800, PA900, and PA1000 hoists, offering a practical solution for 1-ton lifting setups.
POWLAB 1 Ton Heavy Duty I-Beam Trolley
POWLAB offers a 1-ton trolley with adjustable flange width via washers, enabling compatibility with a range of beams. The trolley uses rugged manganese steel and a powder-coated finish for durability and corrosion resistance. Safety features include hex nuts, collision bumpers, and anti-drop pins to help maintain secure lifting operations on straight or curved beams.
VEVOR Manual Trolley 2 Ton
VEVOR’s 2-ton trolley features wide-ranging adjustment for beam flange widths from 2.5″ to 7″. Built with alloy steel, it aims for robust strength and durability under heavy loads. Dual wheels provide stable movement, while a protective package including a hex nut, collision bumper, and anti-drop pin supports safer lifting on both straight and curved I-beams.
BEAMNOVA Manual Trolley for I-Beam 1 Ton
This BEAMNOVA model is a 1-ton manual trolley compatible with standard and wide flange I-beams. It features a straight or tapered beam capability with an upgraded six-wheel design for improved stability on straight and curved tracks. The frame remains manganese steel with a powder-coated finish, and safety features include anti-loose side nuts and protective hardware to extend life and reliability during lifts.
Buying Guide
- Beam compatibility: Choose a trolley that covers your typical flange width range. If you work with both standard and wide flange beams, a model with adjustable width and washers is advantageous.
- Load capacity: Match the trolley to your lifting equipment. Selecting a unit with a slightly higher capacity than your heaviest load provides a safety margin and reduces wear over time.
- Wheel configuration: Dual wheels improve stability on straight and curved tracks, especially on longer runs or on taller overhead systems.
- Drive type: Manual trolleys are simple and reliable; electric or assisted variants can reduce fatigue on frequent lifts, but require power or a hand-crank workflow.
- Safety features: Look for anti-loose nuts, anti-drop pins, collision bumpers, and robust locking mechanisms to prevent accidental detachment.
- Material and finish: Manganese steel with powder coating enhances durability and corrosion resistance in workshop environments.
- Installation considerations: Ensure the trolley ships with the necessary washers and fasteners and that mounting clearances on your beam allow proper operation.
- Longevity and maintenance: Regular inspection of pins, nuts, and wheels helps maintain safe operation and postpone wear-related failures.
- Compatibility with hoists: If you already use PA600–PA1000 hoists, verify trolley compatibility with your specific model to ensure smooth coupling and operation.
