Any of you guy's have any input on a trolley that attaches to an i-beam for a chain hoist? While building my new bay I installed a 6"x12" i-beam. I thought it would be nice to be able to move side to side rather than just up and down. I found one in the northern catalog and a few others online. I'm cheap but would rather spend the money and purchase a good quality, sealed bearing, maintenance free one. Any suggestions?

 

this is the web site for the company I work for if your interested we've been in business since 1934 nad at the same location since 1954.

Trolleys are nice to have, the better the quality the better it will move for you with a heavy load on it. Make sure you buy one that will meet or exceed the load rating of the chain hoist you will be using.

 

Harbor Freight has them, I think they were in the sale flier. Greg

 

I bought one From Grainger rated at 6000lbs for a 4" wide beam. Anything I use for lifting I buy top of the line from a big name store. Seen to many cheap lifting fixture fail and seen to many people hurt.

 

ive worked in shop with one and they are well worth the money i think the guy paid like 900 dollars ???? maybe i know that it was expensive but it will most definetly save on doctor bills and such bills from heavy lifting
