Assemble the suspension plate and required number of spacer washers to the inside of the trolley side plates.
Dimension between Trolley Flanges
The dimension between the trolley wheel flanges should be ¼” larger than the beam flange.

Offset Pin for Geared Beam Trolleys Offset Pin for Geared Beam Trolleys
It is important to note that for geared beam trolleys, the hanger pin may need to be offset so it will not come into contact with the hand wheel. This can be accomplished by placing the required amount of washers to the hanger pin on both sides of the side plates.
Place Trolley on Beam
With the trolley loosely assembled, spread the side plates allowing the trolley wheels to be placed over the beam flange, so that the trolley will properly sit on the beam.
Tighten Nuts to Washers
Tighten the nuts against the washers.
Insert Safety Pin
Insert the safety pins that are provided.
