1. Product Overview
The BEAMNOVA 1 Ton Electric I-Beam Trolley is designed for use with PA600-1000 series power hoists, offering a robust solution for material handling. It features a 2204 lbs (1 ton) load capacity and is compatible with I-beams and H-beams with flange widths ranging from 2.68 to 4.33 inches. Constructed from durable Manganese steel with a powder-coated finish, this trolley ensures long-lasting performance and wear resistance.
Key features include an anti-loose side locking nut for secure attachment, dual wheels engineered for both straight and tapered beam tracks, and hardened steel wheels with double-sealed lubricated ball bearings for smooth operation. The trolley comes with an extended power cord and remote control cable, both 6.56 feet long, and includes an emergency stop switch for enhanced safety.

2. Setup and Installation
Before installation, ensure the I-beam track is clean, free of obstructions, and capable of supporting the combined weight of the trolley, hoist, and maximum load. The trolley is designed for flexible installation to accommodate various I-beam widths.
2.1 Adjusting for Beam Width
The trolley includes eight 3cm (1.18 inch) wide flanges (gaskets) that allow for width adjustment. You can add or remove these gaskets to fit your specific I-beam width. The recommended rail width is 68-110mm (2.68-4.33 inches).
- Determine the width of your I-beam.
- Adjust the number of gaskets and their position on the trolley's crossbar to achieve the correct spacing for your beam.
- Ensure the trolley wheels make proper contact with the beam flanges without excessive play or binding.
- Securely fasten all nuts and bolts, ensuring the anti-loose side locking nut is tightened to prevent accidental loosening during operation.

2.2 Attaching the Hoist
Once the trolley is securely mounted on the I-beam, attach your compatible electric hoist (PA600, PA700, PA800, PA900, or PA1000 series) to the trolley's designated attachment point. Ensure all connections are tight and secure before use.

- Ensure the power cord and remote control cable are free from kinks or damage.
- Verify that the emergency stop switch on the remote control is functional.
- Confirm the load does not exceed the trolley's 1-ton (2204 lbs) capacity.
3.2 Using the Remote Control
The trolley is operated via a wired remote control with a 6.56-foot cable, allowing for safe distance operation. The remote control features directional buttons for movement along the I-beam and an emergency stop button.
- Press the appropriate directional button to move the trolley forward or backward along the I-beam.
- Maintain a clear line of sight to the load and the trolley during operation.
- In case of an emergency or unexpected movement, immediately press the red emergency stop button.
