GETTING STARTED - INSTALLING THE HOIST & TROLLEY
1.9 RRL trolleys can be plain (non-powered), hand chain (geared) or powered (pneumatic) Hoists can be hook-mounted to the suspension shaft of the
trolley, or rigidly mounted to a trolley hanger bracket.
This trolley has been designed for horizontally transporting loads by hand, through manual or pneumatic hoists under normal atmospheric
conditions of the work place.
In order to ensure the maximum performance and life from this pneumatic trolley it is essential that the following points are strictly observed.
▪ The trolley air motor may be operated in any attitude provided adequate lubrication is supplied.
Being totally enclosed they can be used in any environment within the temperature limits of -10ºC to +50ºC.
(optional parts -20ºC to +60ºC)
▪ The maximum working pressure for the air motor is 7 bar (100psi)
▪ Be sure to adjust the anti-tilt rollers to the highest position possible in the slot to leave the minimum clearance between the underside
of the beam and the top of the roller.
▪ Axial loads should be kept to a minimum.
▪ Care should be taken when fitting drive components to the shaft, that excessive force is not used .
This will upset the rotor alignment which has been kept to a minimum in order to give high motor performance.
▪ Check the drive pinion / geared wheels are greased.
OPERATION
Plain Trolley The trolley movement is controlled by pushing the load or the hook of the attached hoist.
Geared Trolley Face the hand wheel side of the trolley.
To move left, pull hand chain clockwise.
To move right, pull hand chain counterclockwise,
Pneumatic Trolley The trolley direction is controlled by the pendant buttons or levers.
Face the trolley motor side plate and use the white or black arrows to control the pendant.
The emergency stop buttons stops the trolley.
Trolleys are either delivered assembled for the beam size advised, or assembling but require to be adjusted to the correct beam size.
The lifting points at the top of the trolley above the gearbox should be used for lifting the hoist and trolley into place. Care must be taken not to
allow the unit to swing, as the gearbox flange can be damaged and broken if it is allowed to impact against steelwork etc. If contact is made, the
flange should be inspected and removed from service for repair.
MOUNTING
Make certain the hoist is properly installed. A little extra time and effort in doing so can contribute a lot toward preventing accidents or injuries and
will help achieve the best service possible.
When installing a trolley on a beam, measure the beam flange width and temporarily install the trolley to determine the exact distribution and
arrangement of the spacers.
HOOK MOUNTED HOIST
After final trolley installation place hook over suspension shaft or eye. Make sure hook latch is engaged.
If the hoist is suspended by a top hook, the trolley suspension shaft should rest completely within the saddle of the hook and be centred directly
between the side plates.
RIGID / EYE MOUNTED HOIST
Mount hoist to trolley and temporarily install on beam to determine exact distribution of spacers to centre the top eye.
After installation, operate trolley over entire length of beam with a capacity load suspended 10 to 15cm off the floor.
