GCT Manual Trolley Series
Plain (GCT-A) & Geared (GCT-B) Trolley for Manual and Electric Hoists
Product Overview
The KYLIFT GCT Series Manual Trolley is designed to provide smooth, safe, and flexible load transportation along I-beams. It serves as a moving base for manual chain hoists or electric hoists, allowing precise horizontal movement while lifting or lowering loads. Available in two configurations — Plain (GCT-A) and Geared (GCT-B) — the GCT trolley offers an economical and reliable solution for material handling in workshops, factories, warehouses, and construction sites.
The GCT-A Plain Trolley is manually pushed along the beam and is ideal for shorter movement distances where simplicity and ease of operation are preferred. On the other hand, the GCT-B Geared Trolley is operated by pulling a hand chain, providing smoother travel and precise positioning even under heavier loads. Both types are engineered for I-beam or H-beam installations, with adjustable flange width to fit various beam sizes.
Key Features
- Available in two types — Plain (GCT-A) for push operation and Geared (GCT-B) for chain-driven movement.
- Compatible with manual chain hoists and electric hoists for horizontal load transfer.
- High-grade steel side plates ensure excellent durability and load-bearing performance.
- Precision-machined wheels with ball bearings for smooth, low-friction operation.
- Adjustable I-beam width design for versatile installation.
- Safety anti-drop plates and high-strength connecting shafts improve reliability.
Applications
The GCT trolley is widely used in various environments that require stable and safe load transportation:
- Assembly lines and production workshops for moving hoists and components.
- Maintenance facilities for lifting engines, equipment, or spare parts.
- Warehouses and logistics centers for flexible horizontal material handling.
- Construction sites for supporting manual or electric hoists during installation tasks.
- Machinery workshops for supporting beam-mounted lifting systems.
Whether you are setting up a manual lifting station or enhancing an existing electric hoist system, the KYLIFT GCT series ensures safe and efficient load movement with minimal effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between GCT-A and GCT-B trolleys?
The GCT-A is a plain push trolley operated by manually pushing or pulling the load along the beam — ideal for short distances and light-duty applications. The GCT-B is a geared trolley operated by a hand chain, allowing smoother and more controlled horizontal movement, especially for heavier loads or longer beams.
2. What types of hoists can be used with the GCT series trolley?
Both trolleys are designed to work seamlessly with manual chain hoists and electric chain hoists. They can be mounted directly on the I-beam or H-beam, creating a movable lifting point for vertical and horizontal handling.
3. How do I choose the right trolley capacity?
The rated capacity of the trolley should match or exceed the capacity of the hoist being used. For example, if you use a 2-ton chain hoist, select at least a 2-ton trolley model to ensure safe operation.
4. Can the beam width be adjusted for different installations?
Yes. Both GCT-A and GCT-B trolleys feature an adjustable flange width design, allowing them to fit various I-beam sizes within the specified range. Please refer to the parameter table above for detailed I-beam width compatibility.
5. What kind of environments are these trolleys suitable for?
The GCT series is suitable for factories, workshops, warehouses, and construction sites. They are widely used for machine assembly, equipment maintenance, cargo lifting, and other material handling tasks.
