Overhead Conveyor Trolleys

Overhead Conveyor Trolleys

Trolleys for overhead conveyor systems come in many styles and types depending on the application and cost.

The brackets come in two styles:  

• • Forged: where strength and rigidity are desired.
  • Stamped: where economy is important and demands on the trolley are not too great.

The wheel connections come in two syles:  

• • Swaged: most common due to low cost and strength
  • Bolted: used where there is a need to replace wheels due to heavy loads and contaminant conditions.

There are two basic choices for trolley wheels:

• • Retainer Type:  These are typically used in light or moderate load and low contaminate conditions such as transportation, parts delivery or assembly operations. The advantage is low friction, minimum ball wear, and the least drive energy.
  •  Full Ball Type:  These are used for heavier loads and contaminant conditions.  Also,  they are use in high temperature conditions up to 500 degree F…retainer types have a maximum range of 325 degrees F.

(There are special types of wheels such as thermoplastic wheels designed to resist cleaning solutions available in 3” I)
