CMCO Expands Metric Wheel End Truck Offering
Yale Hoists’ integrated-rotating-axle, tube-frame end trucks are now available with 305mm wheels, as well as in new standard bogie configurations.
Manufactured by Columbus McKinnon Corporation, a manufacturer of material handling products, these end trucks are available for CMAA Class C and D service requirements, which include meeting the bearing life requirement of 10,000 service hours.
Yale Hoists’ top-running, integral-axle, tube-frame end trucks offer five wheel sizes, including 115mm, 160mm, 200mm, 260mm and new 305mm. Other features include:
- Bolted rail sweeps with bumpers that can be quickly removed for wheel inspection
- Bolted girder connection plates for easy installation and reduced shipping costs
- Oversized hand holes for easy access to connection plate bolts
- Rotating axle driver and trailer wheels
- Standard variable frequency drive controlled motors for superior performance
An economical alternative to larger single trucks, Columbus McKinnon now offers Yale end trucks in standard bogie configurations. With wheel diameters starting at 160mm, our four-wheel end truck design doubles overall load capacity and allows for longer spans.
As the bogie design disperses the wheel loads across four wheels, users can utilize smaller rail sizes that are less costly. Bogie end trucks are also easier to install, shipping pre-mounted to girders, and allow for flexible configurations.
