UNDER-RUNNING CLEVIS-TYPEExceptionally low cost push-type underhung crane bridges upto 1 metric ton capacity, and spans to 25 feet can be built withthis kit. This kit consists of two I-beam trolleys, two specialshackles and pins, two pairs of beam end plates, and therequired hardware to attach the bridge beam to the trolleys.

UNDER-RUNNING ANGLE-TYPE END TRUCKEconomically priced push-type bridge kit for capacities to2 tons, and spans to 30 feet. End trucks are constructedout of heavy steel angles with pressed steel or forged steelwheels. The trucks come in two halves so that one set ofend trucks can accommodate a variety of runway lowerflange widths. Bolted steel safety lugs are standard asrequired by CMAA. Kit consists of one pair of end trucksand the required hardware for attaching truck frames tothe bridge beam.

UNDER-RUNNING CARRIAGE-TYPE END TRUCK Push-type bridge kit with a heavy-duty steel carriage fabricated to accommodate two 4 wheel push trolleys on eachend of the carriage. The 16 wheel bridge crane gives the crane twice as much surface contact with the lower runwayflange than the conventional 8 wheel cranes. The trolleys float in the eye of the carriage, so misaligned runway beamswill not bind the crane up. Capacities are available up to 3 tons with spans to 30 feet. The end trucks have slottedmounting holes that fit various beam sizes. These kits consist of four plain wheel trolley assemblies, two truckframes, and the necessary hardware to attach the trucks to the bridge beam.
