If you're in the market for a reliable and efficient system for material transfer, lubrication services, moveable dividers, rolling doors, welding curtains, pneumatic tools, or die handling, you're in the right place. I'm here to guide you through the world of Unistrut Trolley, a unique solution for overhead suspension and movement of loads. So, let's dive into the details.

Unistrut Trolley - The Three-Part System

Unistrut Trolley isn't just one component; it's a versatile three-part system that ensures your job gets done efficiently. Here's a breakdown:

Unistrut Trolley1. The Trolley

Trolleys are the workhorses that allow for the seamless overhead suspension and movement of your materials. They come in different varieties, and you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

Trolleys ride inside the trolley track, aka Unistrut channel. This ensures a smooth and reliable movement of your loads along the track.

Track supports play a crucial role in suspending the trolley track without obstructing the trolley's movement. They are the unsung heroes that keep your operation running smoothly.

How Much Weight Can Unistrut Trolleys Hold?

The weight-carrying capacity of UNISTRUT Trolleys depends on the specific parts you choose. Here are some options:

  • Option 1: The P2950 can hold up to an impressive 600 lbs.
  • Option 2: The P2949 can handle up to 437 lbs.
  • Option 3: The P2751 is designed to support loads of up to 100 lbs.
  • Option 4: If your job requires lighter loads, the P2749 can handle up to 50 lbs.

 

Keep in mind that you can always gang trolleys together for those heavyweight applications. Additionally, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly and quieter option, nylon wheel trolleys are available, although they have a lower weight capacity.

Choosing the Right Trolley Track Size

To make the right choice, you'll need to consider the trolley track size. Fortunately, all trolleys fit comfortably inside a 1-5/8" wide Unistrut channel with a minimum depth of 1-5/8". This standard size ensures compatibility with various Unistrut components.

Unistrut Trolley Mounting Options

When it comes to mounting your Unistrut Trolley system, you have several options:

 

  1. Bolt Through Track: This option ensures a secure and robust attachment to your structure, but it does include limitations, as the bolts inhibit movement of the trolley for standard depth channel profiles. For this option you’ll have to use a deeper channel for clearance.
  2. Trolley Track Hangers: If you prefer a hanging setup, trolley track hangers provide a versatile solution.
  3. Back-to-Back Channel Mount: This option is perfect for parallel trolley track installations.

 

When selecting the right Unistrut Trolley system for your job, you can do so with confidence. With different weight capacities, track sizes, and mounting options, you have the flexibility to tailor the system to your exact needs.
