Checking the requirements

The following requirements must be met in order for the trolley to be mounted.

 

Checking the I-beam

─     The trolley can only be mounted on I-beams with a flange inclined up to 15° or a non-inclined flange.

 

 

Checking the load capacity

─     The supporting structure on which the trolley is to be fastened (e.g. jib crane, supporting structure, hall ceiling, etc.) must have an adequate load capacity.

 

 

The load on the I-beam and the supporting structure is comprised of the weight of the trolley, the chain hoist, and the maximum load capacity of the chain hoist.

 

*   Determine the weight of the trolley.

*   Add the dead load of the chain hoist. If necessary, add the additional weight of the chain. See the product manual for the ABUS chain hoist.

*   Add the maximum load capacity.

*   Check the entire supporting structure as to whether it will support the expected load.

 

 

Measuring the flange width

─     The flange width of the I-beam must match the flange width of the trolley.

 

 

*   Measure the width of the I-beam.

 

 

*   Check whether the flange width F of the I-beam is within the range specified on the travelling gear bolt.

If not, contact the ABUS service department. See ABUS Service.
