Expert Recommendation:
For most industrial applications, we recommend the motorized trolley system as it provides the best balance of flexibility and productivity. However, for operations with:
- Very limited budgets → Choose fixed mount
- Extreme height restrictions → Select low headroom
- Infrequent movement needs → Manual trolley
Custom Solutions Available:
All configurations can be customized with:
- Special voltage requirements (440V, 575V, etc.)
- Hazardous location certifications
- Custom lift speeds
- Special hook designs (rotating, C-hook, etc.)
