This category is populated with beam trolleys, these are load suspension trolleys designed to have a load or lifting equipment suspended underneath then traverse along a runway lifting beam (otherwise known as a monorail lifting beam made from a rolled steel joist (RSJ) or universal beam (UB) or Universal Column (UC). We offer in our online catalogue shop four sections, different types of Monorail runway trolley. Beam trolleys are a mobile anchorage point that can be fitted onto a lifting beam to suspend lifting equipment beneath, such as a chain hoist. This allows the load to travel along the direction of the lifting beam. A Beam trolley can also be referred to as a load trolleys, a beam runner, 'I' beam crane trolleys, a beam flange roller or girder monkeys. This section is for manual push travel beam trolleys and geared travel runway beam trolleys (Chain drive). Gear travel units are moved along the beam by operating a hand chain and give a greater level of control especially on larger capacities. Most trolleys are adjustable and some are quick release. We offer heavy-duty and low-head room trolleys, also swivel truck trolleys to negotiate tight radius bends on runway tracks where required.

Lifting equipment and height safety gear in the UK and around the world must undergo regular thorough examinations to ensure they remain safe for use. The inspection timeline for lifting gear varies based on the type of equipment, typically occurring every six (6) or twelve (12) months. Accessories for lifting equipment require inspections twice a year, while lifting machines are assessed annually.

To help users easily identify whether the equipment is still within its acceptable service period, we provide colour-coded tags. These serve as a visual cue that the equipment is generally safe to use, though it’s essential to conduct user inspections both before and after operation. Additionally, our lifting equipment identification tags are perfect for confirming that height safety and fall arrest gear are still compliant with inspection requirements.
