Top Running Formed Channel

Top Running Formed Channel end trucks are used in conveyor and track systems where the load travels on top of a formed steel channel rail. They support and guide equipment from above, providing smooth rolling motion, reliable alignment, and efficient load handling for applications that require floor‑mounted or top‑supported operation.

Yale rolled channel end trucks are designed with safety, reliability, and performance in mind and are an economical and easy-to-install option for any crane system or application.

Features and 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.

Controls NEMA 1 enclosure is standard for the control panels and fused disconnect switch, with NEMA 4/12 available as an option.

Motors Single-phase and three-phase motors (½ hp only) are available.

Mechanical Add-Ons Bridge brake, air motor drive package, bridge bumpers, & patented track.
Electrics & Controls Electronic acceleration control, variable frequency control, balast resistors, thermal overload relays, and spark resistance (hand-geared and push-type trucks).
