Despite beam trolleys all working in essentially the same manner, you do need to be careful when you are choosing the trolley. One of the first things you need to consider, which is also one of the most important things, is the weight of the load that can be moved. There are a range of trolley options available including 1-ton, 6-ton, 15-ton, and 25-ton beam trolleys.

You should also consider whether you have a manual beam trolley that may need manpower for the load to be pushed or if you will have an electric or air operated trolley instead. The one you choose will often depend on your particular business and how and where you will be using the trolley. Find the one that will match your needs now and make sure you have enough of these trolleys to take care of your entire project.

There are a range of beam trolleys available. The push beam trolley will move the load horizontally and it is used as a suspension point. It is important to note that push beam trolleys cannot be side loaded. In addition to the push beam trolleys, there are also gear, air, and electric trolleys. When placed on the proper type of beams, these can also move loads horizontally. The gear trolleys move utilizing gears, the air trolleys are air operated and the electric beam trolleys, as the name suggests, utilize electricity. One of the benefits of these types of trolleys is that they can work without the need for additional equipment or manpower. Once again, these trolleys cannot be side loaded.

A beam trolley is essentially a suspension point. It will help to move loads horizontally, and the ability to move heavy loads helps to make many different types of work faster, easier, and safer. These can be used in many different types of industries. 

Many companies today are making beam trolleys of various types. Some of the brands and manufacturers to consider include Honeywell and FS Industries.
