Beam Trolleys

Beam trolleys provide a travelling suspension point for compatible manual hoists and lifting assemblies on a correctly rated runway beam. This collection brings together beam-travel equipment for workshop, maintenance and industrial lifting applications where moving a load horizontally is part of the job.

Select by beam and lifting system

Match the trolley’s capacity and adjustable flange range to the actual beam, hoist and intended load. Capacity markings do not replace a lifting plan: confirm the supporting structure, hoist compatibility, travel path, headroom and required clearances before installation. Never exceed the lowest-rated component in the system.

Build a complete lifting setup

Pair a suitable trolley with chain blocks, lever hoists or lifting chain, wire rope and fittings. For fixed or vehicle-based lifting tasks, browse lifting and jacking equipment.

Safety and inspection

Inspect wheels, side plates, adjusters, pins and suspension hardware before use. Ensure the beam is suitable for both the load and dynamic movement, keep personnel clear of suspended loads, and have competent people install and operate the equipment in line with site procedures and the manufacturer’s instructions.

Frequently asked questions

Can a beam trolley be used with any chain block?

No. The trolley, hoist and beam must be compatible and each component must have an appropriate working load limit. Confirm the manufacturer’s dimensions and connection requirements before combining equipment.

What beam measurement matters most?

The trolley’s adjustable flange range must suit the beam flange width. Also check the beam condition, support design and available headroom, because these affect safe installation and travel.

Is a beam trolley suitable for lifting people?

No. These products are for material handling unless a system is expressly engineered, certified and approved for personnel lifting. Follow applicable Australian requirements and your site’s safety procedures.
