STK [Extra] Short Headroom Trolley

Maximum lifting heights in low rooms

The STK extra short headroom trolley sets new standards. The construction of the STK extra short headroom trolley alone saves a tremendous amount of space. The body of the chain hoist is mounted at an angle, meaning that no return sheave is required, thereby allowing a 33 % reduction in headroom. With its headroom reduced by 60 %, the extra short headroom trolley achieves, by contrast, maximum hook paths. The distance from the underside of the beam to the bed of the hook is just 210 mm at a load capacity of 5,000 kg and even just 185 mm at a load capacity of 3,200 kg. The patented chain drive with two separate, but synchronised chains is unique. The load is lifted and positioned exactly without swinging or vibration.

The chain hoists are also available in explosion-proof design for Zone 1, Zone 21 and Zone 22.

Very compact dimensions for maximum use of halls
Specially developed for low-ceilinged rooms
Low deadweight
Load is lifted steadily and without swinging
Low maintenance
Trolleys with no projecting edges for steady cross travel
Available as an option in explosion protected design complying with ATEX and IECEx

STK short and extra short headroom trolley

The construction of the short headroom trolley itself saves a tremendous amount of space. The body of the chain hoist is mounted at an angle, meaning that no return sheave is required. This reduces the headroom by 33 %. The extra short headroom trolley with its headroom reduced by 60 %, by contrast, achieves maximum hook paths, which is particularly beneficial in extremely low-ceilinged rooms. It fully deserves its name. The extremely short distance from the underside of the beam to the bed of the hook is just 210 mm at a load capacity of 5,000 kg and even just 185 mm at a load capacity of 3,200 kg.

STB Big Bag design

The Big Bag version is designed for load capacities up to 3,200 kg. Its special feature is the free choice of the distance between chain hoist and load hook which makes lifting bulky loads or Big Bags up to top hook position possible without hindering edges such as trolley, chain hoist or chain box.
