Trolleys

About

Altrac trolleys have been designed with four load wheels for even weight distribution and low rolling resistance to provide easy movement, so it does the work and not the operator.

Various wheel configurations allow for accidental side and uplift loads that may occur in some operations. While a variety of wheel options can cater for various applications such as industrial, marine and dusty environments.

The trolleys can also be tailored to meet the requirements of different industries such as theatre, food production or clean room facilities. This means you can optimise the unit for your objective.

For applications where manual movement of the trolley may not be possible such as non-trafficable areas due to various hazards Bomac can offer a motorised carriage for the trolley.

The various options are outlined under the technical specifications tab.

Benefits

MAINTENANCE

Any maintenance is easily identifiable as Trac trolleys run externally on Altrac - not hidden and held captive by enclosed track thus requiring removal for inspection.

FREE RUNNING

Less than 0.5% rolling resistance enables you to move the load without strain. Less effort required than beam/enclosed track systems.

ADD/REMOVE TROLLEYS

Trac trolleys may be added or removed anywhere along the line of an Altrac system and this can be achieved without removing the existing Trac trolleys. Enclosed track systems do not have this flexibility.

NON-JAMMING

The design of the trolleys means they will not twist or slew to cause jamming.

TESTED

All rated trolleys comply to Australian Crane Code Standards available in a range of configurations in accordance with AS1418 and AS1891.2 - Fall Arrest Systems.

Unrated trolleys are available for non-hoisting applications and can support up to 150kg as a static load.

Technical Specification

RATINGS

Unrated - Unrated trolleys have a maximum capacity 150kg (not to be used for hoisting applications)
