Bohl Crane, Inc.

Trolleys

Avoiding fitment errors and reducing downtime are critical when sourcing overhead crane trolley parts. Bohl Crane supplies a wide range of manual, geared and motorized trolley components, with support to help ensure compatibility with your existing system. We ensure seamless beam integration through our full catalog of products and parts. 

Exploring Crane Trolley Options

Understanding trolley types can help ensure the correct parts are selected, reducing delays, increasing safety and streamlining operational efficiency. Incompatible trolley components can increase the risk of injury and lead to operational bottlenecks. The most commonly used trolley options are listed below. 

  • Manual/Push trolleys: Ideal for lighter loads (CMAA Class A or B duty cycles) and shorter travel distances. They're easy to install and require little maintenance. 
  • Geared trolleys: Best for precise positioning. Geared trolleys use a hand chain to allow controlled, precise movement of loads. They are commonly used when operators need to position materials carefully without direct contact. 
  • Motorized crane trolleys: Suited for high-production environments. Motorized crane trolleys are ideal for frequent lifting or long distances (CMAA Class C or D duty cycles), where powered movement improves efficiency, consistency, and safety.

Not sure which trolley type you need? Our team is available via website chat, online form submission, and phone to help you verify compatibility with your beam, hoist and application before purchase. 

Application-Specific Trolley Configurations

In addition to standard manual, geared and motorized options, some applications require trolley configurations designed for specific environments or system constraints.

These may include:

  • jib crane trolleys
  • low-headroom trolleys
  • adjustable/non-standard beam trolleys
  • hazardous environment trolleys (spark-resistant/ air-compatible setups) 
  • monorail/ enclosed track trolleys

Trolley Components Designed for Fit and Reliability

Bohl Crane supplies trolley components that meet applicable Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMAA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements, with options selected based on your beam type, load capacity and application.

Features such as sealed bearings, contoured wheels and integrated safety stops are available depending on the manufacturer and configuration.

Proper fitment is critical—our team can help verify compatibility to reduce installation issues and avoid unnecessary downtime.
