hen specifying a hoist for use in industrial applications
that demand beam-traversing motion, attention should
also be paid to the trolley on to which the hoist hooks.
According to JD Neuhaus (JDN), which manufactures hoist
solutions, trolley factors such as carrying capacity, ease of
installation, explosion protection and ability to negotiate curves,
must all be considered if the application is to be optimised. Such
applications include maintenance shops and wash racks.
Three versions are available to facilitate the lateral motion of
suspended loads: manual trolleys (LN) for pushing or pulling by
hand; reel chain trolleys (LH) for moving by unwinding the reel
chain; and motorised trolleys (LM) powered by an air motor. While
the standard industrial series stops at a single 20 tonne trolley,
higher capacities can be achieved with the benefit of 8 wheel and
even 16 wheel systems. Additionally, custom designs or utilisation
of the monorail series offer traversable load placement for the
entire JDN catalogue of capacities up to 100 tonnes.
Importantly, for suitability in hazardous areas, all JDN trolleys
offer explosion protection to Ex II 2 GD IIA T4/II 3 GD IIB T4
classifications. Higher classifications are available on request. For
instance, with even further increased spark protection for
explosion group IIC, the trolleys incorporate running wheels and
travel gearing manufactured in bronze for an impressive EX II 2 GD
IIC T4 rating.
Careful design and development by JDN’s expert team has led to
a host of standard features, whereby the company’s trolleys have
become synonymous with ease of installation and a robust
structure that requires little maintenance. Anti-climb and anti-drop
devices are also included as standard. JDN trolleys are designed to
tackle all sorts of unique applications which can include curved
beams. JDN specialists are on hand to give advice on any project
where curved beams are involved.
For those seeking an even higher specification, options for JDN
trolleys include a rack and pinion drive for safe load handling on
offshore platforms and seafaring vessels, a spark-resistant package
and offshore paint to suit rigorous operating environments. Energy
can be fed by various systems, including energy chain, C-shaped
rail, square rail or spiral hose, to best suit application requirements.
Of course, some applications have restricted headroom, which is
why JDN also offers a special-purpose series of low-headroom
trolleys, meaning tight load placements can still traverse
economically utilising JDN’s special low-headroom design. The
standard range offers carrying capacities from 0.5 to 6.3 tonne,
with higher capacities available for custom built projects. This
alongside other JDN traversing solutions creates a multitude of
trolley capabilities.
Also able to negotiate overhead rail curvature, JDN’s low-
headroom trolleys feature extended tie bars for bulky or elongated
loads. The same options and energy feeding systems available for
The J D Neuhaus Profi 2 TI hoist in low headroom trolley, ideal for use where headroom is
restricted
JDN’s standard trolley range, can also be offered to users of low-
headroom versions, with the addition of hose trolley energy
feeding to the list of choices.
All hoists and trolleys can be remotely controlled by the recently
introduced JDN radio control systems, offering ease of use and
convenience. The remote controls are an effective alternative to
where long control hoses are required and for use in hard-to-reach
areas, providing simultaneous control of multiple hoists and
trolleys. Comprising a transmitter and receiver, the JDN-RC
(Remote Control) is available for both new and retrofit
applications.
Typical applications for JDN’s Profi hoist/trolley combinations
include aircraft construction, general assembly lines, auto plants,
dairies, electroplating lines, foundries, paint shops, steelworks,
power plants, refineries, sawmills, shipyards and tempering plants,
as well as a host of uses in the chemical, cement, food, furniture,
glassmaking, paper and textile industries, to list but a few.

Gröninger cleans up with Colac
C
olac is a manufacturer of ice cream powders, sugar free
dessert sauces and organic fruit preparations. The
company recently opened a new production plant in Beerse,
Belgium to increase both production output and service levels.
Increased production figures required more stainless steel food
containers to be cleaned. The company contracted Gröninger for a
modern food container cleaning system. Colac and Gröninger jointly
designed a new cleaning area where container logistics and container
cleaning have been able to be fully aligned and integrated.
The Gröninger food approved CleanPack combines a system with
high and low pressure pumps and fully automated process flows.
Validated washing programs are based on Colac’s product range. The
system is easy to operate and is built according to the highest
ergonomic standards. The result is an extremely high quality cleaning
zone where all process data is logged via the PLC to secure a
complete cleaning history per container in the supply chain.
