Hoist trolleys paired with motorized hoists offer precise vertical and horizontal movement, ensuring efficient and safe material handling across industries. At Protek Crane Solutions—an accredited Better Business Bureau business—we carry a wide inventory of both components to meet your lifting needs.
Understanding Hoist Trolley Types
Hoist trolleys are mounted on overhead beams or rails to enable horizontal movement. When paired with a hoist, they allow vertical lifting at any point along the beam. This combination simplifies load handling and improves workflow efficiency.
- Motorized Trolleys: Powered by electric motors, these trolleys are ideal for heavy loads or continuous operation. They often include variable frequency drives (VFDs), dual-speed controls, and soft start/stop features. Compatible with single-phase and three-phase hoists, motorized trolleys offer precision and power.
- Manual (Push) Trolleys: Operated by hand, these trolleys are best suited for lighter loads or occasional use. They require minimal maintenance and are a cost-effective solution for simpler lifting tasks.
Featured Hoist Trolley: Harrington MCR1000 Air Trolley
The Harrington MCR1000 is a versatile air-powered trolley designed for demanding environments. It handles loads from ¼ to 6 tons (500–12,000 lbs) and includes:

This model is a trusted choice across manufacturing, construction, and industrial sectors.
Safety First: Matching Trolleys and Hoists
Proper pairing of hoists and trolleys is critical. The hoist’s vertical lifting capacity must not exceed the trolley’s rated load. Overloading can damage equipment, compromise structural integrity, and pose serious safety risks to operators.
