Lifting and transporting trolley for warp beams, etc. - stabilised by telescopic outriggers carried in telescopic longitudinal struts

摘要

A trolley for lifting and transporting warp beams, cloth beams, etc. comprises a rectangular chassis with a pair of retractable main wheels situated midway along the longer sides and a pair of small castors at each end of the chassis. Each end of the trolley carries a telescopic outrigger which extends frontwards to stabilise the loaded trolley. The outriggers are attached to telescopic arms which can be extended beyond the ends of the chassis. With the outriggers extended, the chassis position can be adjusted to centralise it w.r.t. the outriggers. Trolley can be adjusted to handle any size of beam, and to fit against any type of machine and it can be manoeuvred in narrow gangways between machines.
