Features and Benefits

  • Designed for Strength & Durability
    End trucks feature a rigid steel welcment, reinforced at the wheel acles and girder connection. The truck weldment uses formed-channel sides and structural steel plates complete with welded girder pads and end plates, forming a rigid u-shaped structure. In addition, the wheels are solid forged steel , heat treated with a hardness of 220-250 BHN, rotating two sealed, lifetime-lubricated ball bearings ensuring smooth, reliable operation.
  • 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.
  • Control Panel
    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. NEMA 4/12 panels are available as an option.
  • Fused Disconnect Switch
    Fused disconnect switch box has positive power disconnect and crane fusing. NEMA 1 enclosure is standard with NEMA 4/12 available as an option.

Budgit formed-channel end trucks are designed with safety, reliability, and performance in mind.
