2. Function/Operation
The Tiger TP/TG Trolley can be used to suspend a lifting appliance or load and allow it to traverse along a beam. The TP is the
plain trolley model which is moved along the beam by hand. The TG is the geared trolley model which is moved along the
beam by turning the hand chain.
The bar assembly comes with collars and a number of spacer washers. The combination of washers placed inside or outside of
the side plates allows the trolley to be fitted to the various flange sizes within its capacity. The wheels run on sealed bearings
requiring no lubrication for smoother rolling with less effort and maintenance.
The working load limit specified on the label/name plate is the maximum load which can be applied to the product in service.
The trolley must only be attached to structures which are approved and recommended to carry or sustain the maximum safe
working loads which will be applied. These structures must be free from defects and have appropriate end stops fitted.
Prior to installation make sure that the flange width of the beam that the trolley is to be fitted to is within the limits indicated
on the product label.
We advise that structural calculations are carried out on all beams and supporting steel work by qualified engineering
departments to ensure safe operation.
To install the trolley
1.
Measure the I Beam W dimension (figure 1)
2.
Unscrew the locking nuts and remove these and the washers from the suspension bar. Remove both side plates from the
trolley.
3.
Place the anchor point on the bar and the collars on either side of the anchor point.
4.
Calculate the number of the spacer washers to be placed at either side of the collars, allowing a total of around 3mm of
wheel clearance between the rail and wheel flanges for lateral play of the trolley on the beam.
5.
The anchor point must always be placed in the centre of the bar/washer/side-plate configuration so that the load is
directly underneath the centre of the trolley.
6.
Replace one side plate.
7.
The spare washers need to be placed on the exterior side of one or both side plates.
8.
Reassemble the washer and locking nut and fully manually tighten the locking nut on this first side plate ensuring that
one thread of the bar is clear of the nylon inner of the locking nut.
9.
Replace the second side plate checking the clearance of the wheels on the beam.
10. Replace the washer on the second side and fully manually tighten the second locking nut ensuring that one thread of the
bar is clear of the nylon inner of the locking nut.
