Trolleys

Move and position loads with ease using trolleys from MTN Shop. A trolley runs along a beam or tube to traverse a hoist and its load horizontally, making it an essential part of any overhead lifting or rigging setup. From heavy duty beam trolleys for industrial lifting to lightweight barrel trolleys for suspending entertainment equipment, our range covers a wide variety of applications.

We sell trolleys from trusted brands including Yale, Pfaff and Doughty. The range covers push and geared beam trolleys for flat and tapered beams, manual lift trolleys for workshops and warehousing, and barrel trolleys designed to roll along pipe grids and bars.

Pair your trolley with the right industrial hoist and beam clamps to complete your setup.

Trolleys at MTN Shop

A trolley is a device that runs along a beam, rail or tube to move a suspended load horizontally. Used together with a hoist, a trolley allows you to traverse and accurately position heavy loads along a fixed track, which is essential in workshops, warehouses, factories and entertainment venues. Choosing the right trolley depends on the beam profile, the load weight and how the trolley will be moved.

Types of trolley

  • Push trolleys are moved by hand, with the operator pushing or pulling the load along the beam. They are ideal for lighter loads and shorter distances.
  • Geared trolleys use a hand chain and gearing to traverse heavier loads with greater control, suited to higher capacities and precise positioning.
  • Manual lift trolleys combine a wheeled chassis with a hydraulic foot pump to lift and transport goods at ground level in workshops and warehousing.
  • Barrel trolleys are lightweight units that roll along tubes or bars, commonly used to suspend pantographs and lighting from pipe grids in the entertainment sector.

Matching a trolley to your beam

Beam trolleys are designed to fit a range of beam widths and profiles, and many are adjustable to suit different flange sizes. Always check the safe working load, the beam flange width and the maximum permitted beam incline before use. For attaching equipment to a beam, see our beam clamps.

Build a complete lifting setup

A trolley is most often used with a hoist to form a complete traversing lifting system. Browse our industrial hoists and winches to add lifting power, and explore rigging hardware for connecting components.

Frequently Asked Questions

A trolley runs along a beam or tube and is used to move a suspended load horizontally. Combined with a hoist, it lets you traverse and position heavy loads accurately along a fixed track, which is common in workshops, warehouses and entertainment venues.
A push trolley is moved by hand, with the operator pushing or pulling the load along the beam, and suits lighter loads and shorter distances. A geared trolley uses a hand chain and gearing to move heavier loads with more control, making it better for higher capacities and precise positioning.
Check the safe working load, the beam flange width and the maximum permitted beam incline. Many beam trolleys are adjustable to fit a range of flange sizes and profiles, but you should always confirm that the trolley is rated for your load and compatible with your beam before use.
A barrel trolley is a lightweight trolley that rolls along a tube or bar, typically 48 to 51mm in diameter. It is commonly used in the entertainment industry to suspend pantographs and lighting from fixed or rolling pipe grids, and is available in braked and unbraked versions.
Trolleys are designed to carry a hoist with a top hook or lug mounted suspension, but you must match the trolley capacity and fitting to your hoist and load. Always check that the safe working load of the trolley meets or exceeds that of the hoist and the load being lifted.
