Electric hoist trolleys

The electric hoist trolley turns a stationary chain hoist into a travelling one: the hoist is hung on the trolley, and the trolley runs along the lower flange of an I-beam. This way the load is lifted and moved along the length of the beam without anyone pushing it. This category has 7 Unicraft trolleys for 1, 2 and 3 t, with prices from €1,050 to €1,535 incl. VAT.

Types of electric hoist trolleys

Trolleys are divided by load capacity and the number of travel speeds. All run on 400 V and are controlled from the pendant of the hoist to which they are connected — you do not need a second pendant.

With one speed

The EFW 1-1 (1 t) and EFW 2-1 (2 t) travel at 13.5 m/min. They are suitable for short beams and clear, repeating movements.

With two speeds

The EFW 1-2, EFW 1003-2, EFW 2-2 and EFW 2003-2 have 6.7 and 20 m/min. The fast speed is for travelling empty and long distances, the slow one — for accurate stopping above a machine or a pallet. The EFW 3-2 is for 3 t and travels at 18 and 6 m/min.

Manual trolleys — when you do not need a motor

If the beam is short and the load is light, you can do without a motor. See the manual hoist trolleys — from €57.

How to choose a hoist trolley?

The trolley must match three things: the hoist (load capacity and series), the beam (profile and flange width) and the way you work (one or two speeds). Check them in this order and the choice becomes easy.

• Compatibility with the hoist. The trolley connects to the pendant of the corresponding chain hoist. For example, the EFW 1-2 is for the EKZT 5-2 and EKZT 10-2 hoists. Choose a trolley with at least the same load capacity as the hoist.
• Flange width. The 1 and 2 t trolleys work with a 74–140 mm flange, the EFW 3-2 — with 100–170 mm. They are suitable for IPE, IPB, IPBl, IPBv and I profiles.
• Speed. 13.5 m/min with one speed or 6.7/20 m/min with two. If you position accurately, take a two-speed model.
• Power supply. All models are for 400 V, 3 phases, 50 Hz.

Comparison of models

What is the hoist trolley used for?

The hoist trolley is used where the load has to cover a distance: from the ramp to the machine, from the machine to the warehouse, along the whole length of the workshop. One person controls both the lifting and the travel from one pendant.

We see it most often in production halls, welding and metalwork shops, warehouses with a beam above the loading area. If you are looking for a "mobile electric hoist" — this is exactly the combination of an electric hoist plus an electric trolley.
