  • Publication number: 20250361091
    Abstract: A beam trolley has a system that provides for adjustment of the width without removing the side plates. A load bar with right hand threads on one side and left hand threads on the other side is installed in threaded openings in side plates. A load plate with an anti-rotation profile in a midportion supports an underhung hoist. The load plate engages with the load bar such that in a first configuration the load bar is prevented from rotating relative to the load plate and in a second configuration the load bar may rotate freely with respect to the load plate. In another embodiment, a pair of load bars are used in connection with an elongate rod for adjusting the side plates. The pair of load bars provides for increased headroom for the hoist.
