FAQ about this model
How much can this trolley lift?
The rated capacity is 1/2 ton, or 1000 lbs (model GT005-ATP). That figure is the total load the trolley is designed to carry, so it has to cover the hoist, rigging, and the load itself, not just the load. If your combined weight is at or near 1000 lbs, step up to a higher-capacity trolley rather than running this one at its limit.
How does it adjust to fit my beam?
It adjusts by hand using a threaded shaft with an Allen bit setting, which moves the side plates in or out to match the beam flange. The specifications for this model do not list a flange width range, so measure the flange width and thickness of your beam and confirm they fall within the trolley's adjustment range before ordering.
How is the trolley moved along the beam?
You move it with the hand chain, which drives the geared wheels rather than relying on you pushing the load. The hand chain is 8 ft long and zinc plated. Geared travel gives controlled, incremental positioning, which is what you want when the load is near capacity or has to be set down in an exact spot.
What safety features are built in?
It has drop-protect side plates, which are designed to keep the trolley from separating from the beam if a wheel loses contact. The trolley is built to ASME B30.11, the standard published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers covering monorails and underhung cranes. Beam end stops are not listed in these specifications, so plan for those separately as part of your runway.
What warranty comes with it?
Bison Lifting provides a 12-month warranty on this trolley. The specifications list the term only and do not state what is covered or excluded, so review the manufacturer's warranty document for the details before you buy. Keep your purchase record and the model number, GT005-ATP, in case you need to make a claim.
Who is this trolley suited to, and who should look elsewhere?
It suits shops moving loads up to 1000 lbs along a fixed beam where precise placement matters, such as maintenance bays, small fabrication shops, and equipment installation work. Look elsewhere if your loads exceed 1000 lbs, if you need powered travel, or if you move loads frequently over long spans, since all travel here is by hand chain.
