Abstract: A hoisting carriage (2) for a rail-track section (A) of a suspension rail installation can be lifted and lowered at two parallel hoisting columns (1). A motor (4), attached at a cross traverse (3), serves as a drive. The motor (4) drivers via its transmission shaft with two drive wheels (6), disposed on the shaft, for the pulling members (7), which are provided as roller chains. The roller chains are guided initially around upper and lower deflection pulleys (8), disposed freely rotatable on carrying axles, to a rocker. The rocker is supported with a hinged support or trunnion bearing at an oscillating crank (13). The rocker balances or adjusts different elongations and extensions of the pulling members (7). The oscillating crank (13) is supported with a pin bolt (14) at a carrier (15) of the hoisting carriage (2) and rests with the free end at an inclined position on a bumper 16 of the other carrier (15a).
