6.0 Installation & Assembly
The MT Series trolley is designed to run on
standard "I" beams, wide-flanged "H" beams, or
curved track with a minimum radius shown in the
chart in sect. 5.0.
6.1 Mount trolley to beam
The trolley is heavy; use an
assistant or a lifting device to help stabilize it
while you assemble it to the beam.
Note: Mount the trolley to the beam first before
mounting a hoist to it.
1. Measure the width of the beam flange on
which the trolley will operate. This is important
as beam flanges may vary in width. See sect.
4.1 for the beam width range for your specific
trolley.
2. Determine the arrangement of spacer washers
between the trolley side frames based upon
the measurement. Spacers must be moved in
sets of two to maintain centerline of trolley.
Distance between trackwheel flanges should
be 1/8- to 2-inches (3 to 5mm) greater than the
beam flange width for straight runway beams,
and 3/16- to 9/32-inches (5 to 7mm) for
sharply curved beams.
3. Loosely assemble side frames, position tubes,
spacer washers and nuts on the stay bolts.
See Figure 6-1.
4. Install the trolley on the beam by sliding one

the proper end stops installed to prevent the
trolley from running off the beam. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury and/or
property damage.
6.2 Mount hoist to trolley
This trolley has been designed to accommodate
the JET TS-Series Hoist. They can be connected
so that one pendant cord and power cord will
operate both trolley and hoist. Make sure the hoist
has been set to the same voltage specifications as
the trolley, and matches the size and load capacity
of the hoist that will be connected to it.

Tighten the nuts securely.
Note: If the trolley sits at a slight angle, this is
normal. The weight of the hoist or load will
level it to horizontal.

However, the trolley should also be stabilized
by an additional support system, such as
chains, until the hoist mounting system is
completed. See Figure 6-2.
