Ingersoll Rand — Installation Over Open End Of Beam (1/2 to 5 ton Trolleys)
Installation
From a Ingersoll Rand owner's manual — check it applies to your exact model before use.
Before you start
- Adequately support the trolley when lifting into place on the beam; the trolley alone may weigh more than 125 lb (57 kg)
Procedure
- Refer to Dwg. MHP0785 and instructions to position spacer washers for measured beam flange width (W)
- The hoisting mechanism must be located on the center line of the trolley
- Place equal number of spacer washers (7) on each side of the hanger shaft (9) to obtain proper 'D' dimension
- Calculate 'D' using measured beam flange width 'W' and dimensions 'B' and 'C'
- Place equal numbers of remaining spacer washers on the outside of each side plate
- In every case there should be at least one spacer washer between the locknut (8) and the side plate
- Tighten both hanger shaft locknuts (8) to the minimum torque setting listed for trolley size
- Check the 'D' dimension to verify proper adjustment; install trolley over open end of beam
- Check total clearance between beam and trolley wheel flanges; securely install beam/rail stops
- Upon completion of installation, conduct initial operating checks as described in OPERATION section
