Overhead Trolley Systems
Overhead trolley systems let businesses transport tools, materials, and heavy items through their workspace, delivering them quickly where they’re needed and moving them back safely once the work is done. Trolley systems ride along an enclosed track made from heavy duty steel, for speed, efficiency, and durability. Each trolley is supported by nylon or steel wheels, ensuring smooth movement when carrying a heavy load.
Besides providing the track and trolley, Global Crane also provides guides, bearings, mounting brackets, and other accessories, such as corner rails, which let trolleys maneuver smoothly around columns, shelving, and other obstacles. We offer parts and professional installation, identifying appropriate anchor points, bolting track sections into place, and connecting control switches – in order to construct the strongest and most reliable overhead conveyor system for your operation.
Trolley Systems
Our trolleys come in a range of configurations to help improve production and efficiency in your workspace.
Low Headroom Trolleys
Low headroom hoist trolleys are designed to work in spaces with low ceilings, allowing you to move heavy objects around spaces with limited clearance.
Normal Headroom Trolleys
Built to work in most environments, normal headroom trolleys improve efficiency and safety, allowing you to move and maneuver heavy materials faster than floor based lifting devices.
Double Girder Trolleys
Incorporates two girders and two end trucks, allowing it to take on greater loads and heavier duty cycles. Connects to the girder via rails, for additional headroom.
Attachment Mounts
Global Crane & Services offers a full range of mounting options, which enables us to construct a conveyor system that fits your space and your needs. These include:
Ceiling Mounts
Hold rails close to the ceiling with only a small gap, to maximize headroom.
Wall Mounts
Installed next to a vertical wall or stud. Can be placed parallel or perpendicular to walls, for greater convenience.
Chain or Cable Mounts
Useful for transporting items over longer spans.
Threaded Rod Mount
Allows for smooth movement in spaces with high ceilings.
I-Beam Mount
Connects your overhead trolley system to steel support structures, such as trusses or I-beams.
Applications
Global Crane’s overhead trolleys have a wide range of uses across multiple industries. Customized frames allow them to easily transport heavy loads in almost any space. Common uses include:
Cable Management
Attaching power cords to an overhead keeps them accessible while preventing them from becoming a trip hazard.
Hanging Industrial Curtains
Allows you to roll heavy curtains into place with the push of a button, to prevent contamination. Durable construction ensures the rail system functions smoothly even in harsh environments.
Air Hose Mounting
Connecting pneumatic hoses to an overhead conveyor system keeps them organized and off the floor, where they could become tangled in debris or someone’s feet. By fastening air hoses to a trolley, employees can stretch them out as they move around the shop floor, so they’re always at hand without being in the way.
Product and Material Handling
Setting up a rail system lets you move heavy objects into place without risk of injury or fatigue. The trolley links inventory and production areas, so you can bring in raw materials and warehouse completed products.
Overhead Storage
Installing an overhead conveyor lets you slide objects out of the way when they’re not needed, while keeping them perfectly accessible.
Full Service Installation
Setting up an overhead conveyor is a daunting task. Improper installation can lead to inefficiencies, breakdowns, and increased costs. That’s why industries depend on reliable service partners, such as Global Crane. Our repair and installation services keep your systems running profitably.
