Home / Products / Cross Travelling Trolley
A trolley carries your hoist along the beam. LOADMATE builds both — a hand-operated manual trolley for simple, low-cost traverse, and a motorised electric trolley for fast, smooth movement under heavier, regular use.
Hand-operated trolley — push-pull or geared chain — that moves the hoist and load along the beam simply and reliably.
Best for: short beams, occasional traverse and budget-conscious lifting points where movement is by hand.
Motorised trolley that traverses the hoist smoothly and quickly along the beam — built for heavier loads and regular duty.
Best for: longer beams, frequent movement and heavier loads where speed, control and reduced operator effort matter.
The differences that actually drive the decision — drive, speed, effort and cost.
| Manual Trolley | Electric Trolley | |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 0.5–50 T | Up to 50 T |
| Drive | Hand — push or geared | Motorised |
| Travel speed | Manual | Single / two-speed / VFD |
| Operator effort | Higher | Low |
| Beam length suited | Short | Short to long |
| Duty | Occasional | Regular–heavy |
| Power needed | None | Yes |
| Relative price | Lower — economical | Higher — powered |
Capacities are typical — final figures are confirmed against your hoist, beam and load on the product datasheet.
Run your requirement against these. If most points fall in one column, that’s your pick.
The simple fit
The powered fit
Manual or electric, the engineering underneath is the same standard — built for smooth, safe travel matched to your beam.
Trolley wheels and track gauge are matched to your I-beam or box section for smooth, reliable travel.
Anti-drop plates and end-travel stops keep the trolley safely captive on the beam.
Geared hand travel or two-speed / VFD motorised travel gives precise positioning with minimal load sway.
Hardened wheels, sealed bearings and crane-duty drive (electric) specified for continuous industrial service.
Capacity, gauge and headroom matched to your chain or wire rope hoist and load.
Stocked and supported across India, with spares so a lifting point is never down for long.
A starting point by sector — final selection always comes down to your load, span and duty cycle.
A single lifting point with occasional side-to-side movement.
Often manualMoving loads across the full length of a bay.
Usually electricPull the load along by hand where traverse is rare.
Often manualFrequent, controlled traverse between stations.
Usually electricLight loads, simple movement, low budget.
Often manualHeavier loads needing smooth, powered travel.
Usually electricBoth trolleys are built in-house and backed by a pan-India service team — the same standard behind every LOADMATE product.
Engineered for precision, built to last
A cross travelling trolley carries the hoist along the crane girder or monorail beam — manual push/geared or motorised electric — positioning loads across the span in capacities up to 50 tonnes.
Manual trolleys suit light loads and short, occasional travel; electric trolleys earn their cost on heavier loads, longer beams and frequent cycles. Pair either with a LOADMATE chain or wire rope hoist.
It carries the hoist along the beam so the load can move side to side, not just up and down. Manual trolleys move by hand; electric trolleys move under power.
Usually yes. We match the trolley capacity and track gauge to your hoist and beam — send the beam section and hoist details.
Short beams and occasional use suit a manual trolley; long beams, heavier loads or frequent movement suit an electric trolley.
We build trolleys to your I-beam or box-section width, with anti-drop plates and end stops for safe travel.
Share your hoist, beam section and how far the load travels, and our engineers will recommend the right trolley — manual or electric, sized to your load.
