Budgit Top Running Formed Channel End Truck

Features & Benefits

  • Improved Strength & Safety
    End truck frames feature a steel channel box section weldment for a strong, rigid construction, while end truck plates serve as rail sweeps for bridge protection and anti-drop stops, as required by CMAA specifications.
  • Superior Wheel Bearing Design
    Wheel bearings are lifetime-lubricated, precision ball bearings, providing a minimum of 5000 hours performance in accordance with CMAA specifications
  • Gear Reducers
    A right-angle, shaft-mounted worm drive gear reducer can be mounted at either end of the bridge. The gear reducers can be mounted on either top-running or under-hung end trucks. Traverse reducer provides stopping motion of the bridge within a distance in feet equal to 10 percent of full load speed in feet per minute (traveling at maximum speed with maximum rated load).
  • Motor
    Drive motor is a 1/2 or a 3/4 horsepower squirrel cage motor that is NEMA design 30-minute rated TENV with Class “F” insulation. The motor is provided with thermal overload protection as standard, with C-face mounted to the gear reducer.
  • Controls
    The control panels include mainline contactor, 115-volt control circuit transformer with fused secondary terminal strip, bridge fusing, and reversing contactor in a NEMA 1 enclosure. For added safety, end trucks feature a fused disconnect switch box with positive power disconnect and crane fusing.
