🔧 New Blog Post: How to Set Up a Hoist & Trolley System for Your I-Beam or Monorail

Most hoist and trolley installations don't fail during operation — they fail at the planning stage. Undersized beams, mismatched fl**ge widths, and inadequate headroom are all avoidable problems if you catch them early.

Our latest guide walks you through the key steps:
✅ Confirming your beam is rated for the job
✅ Measuring fl**ge width correctly before selecting a trolley
✅ Choosing between push, geared, and electric trolleys
✅ Planning headroom and your load path
✅ Getting your electrical and control setup right

Whether you're setting up a new system or upgrading an existing one, this guide will help you get it right from the start.

New case study! 🏗️

Stewart & Cavalier came to us with a tricky lifting challenge — a crane build where the bridge length and beam size left very little clearance underneath to lift the required loads.

Our solution? An ultra low headroom electric chain hoist with RE series electric trolley from RWM Italy, giving them maximum hook height plus precise lateral movement.
