

Place trolley hoist in correct position relative to bridge beam or monorail, orienting it for proper end approach in

accordance with specification requirements. Be sure collectors and conductors are properly positioned and
aligned.



Check that trolley bumpers, if provided, meet trolley stops on beam, and reposition if necessary.

Adjust the trolley width and install it on to beam according to the following instructions:

Standard Headroom Hoist Trolley



Measure the flange width of the beam where the trolley will be installed.



Remove cotter pin from nut in the end of trolley stud, unscrew the nut, and slide the stud out of the side plate
assembly.



Slide stack of inner adjusting spacer (Washer) over the stud. The dimension must be at least 1/32 inch (0.7 mm)

to 5/32 inch (4 mm) greater than the beam flange width. Rearrange washers, if necessary, to achieve proper
spacing.



Position wheels of the side plate assembly on the beam flange.



Replace side plate assembly by sliding it back over the trolley stud.



Secure the stud with nut and cotter pin.

4.6 Low Headroom Hoist Trolley



Measure the flange width of the beam where the trolley will be installed.



Unscrew the nut and the lock washer from rod.



Adjust the distance between the wheels by sliding the side plate assembly in or out on the rod. The wheel
distance must be at least 1/32 inch (0.7 mm) to 5/32 inch (4 mm) greater than the beam flange width.
