The Yale HTP is a manual push trolley for the precise positioning and easy traversing of large loads on overhead I-beams, built around machined steel wheels on prelubricated, encapsulated ball bearings for excellent rolling performance. The clevis load bar rotates to adjust to the beam flange width, automatically centring the hoist suspension to prevent left/right creeping. Two sizes cover the full standard flange range — Size A (50–220 mm) and Size B (160–300 mm) — with wheels rated for a maximum 14% beam incline and fitting standard INP, IPE and IPB profiles.
Key Features
- Machined steel wheels with encapsulated ball bearings: Excellent rolling performance with minimal push effort and long service life.
- Wide beam profile compatibility: Fits INP, IPE and IPB profiles via rotation of the clevis load bar — no tools needed.
- Centred hoist suspension: Clevis adjustment automatically centres the hoist, eliminating left/right creep under load (up to 5,000 kg).
- 14% maximum beam incline: Rated to DIN 1025-1 incline limits.
- Two flange-size variants: Size A for narrow flanges (50–220 mm); Size B for wide flanges (160–300 mm).
- Optional locking device, rubber buffers, high-temp bearings (350°C): Available across the range to suit specific applications.

More About This Product
The Yale HTP is a manual push trolley for the precise positioning and easy traversing of large loads on overhead I-beams. Built around machined steel wheels mounted on prelubricated, encapsulated ball bearings, the HTP delivers excellent rolling performance with minimal manual effort. The clevis load bar rotates to adjust the trolley to the required beam flange width, automatically centring the hoist suspension in the clevis to prevent left/right creeping. Two sizes cover the full standard flange range: Size A (50–220 mm) and Size B (160–300 mm). Trolley wheels are rated for a maximum 14% beam profile incline (DIN 1025-1) and fit standard INP, IPE and IPB beam profiles.
Suitable Applications
The Yale HTP push trolley is used wherever a hoist needs to be moved along an overhead beam by hand — workshop overhead rails, machinery installation lines, light maintenance bays, and structural steel assembly. The push design is the simplest, lightest and most economical of Yale's trolley options, ideal for light/medium-duty applications where the operator is in direct contact with the load. Above roughly 2,000 kg, or on any beam that is not level, the HTG geared trolley takes the effort out of travel; for powered travel see the VTE-U electric trolley. Where the hoist only needs a fixed suspension point rather than travel, a beam clamp is simpler and cheaper.
How to Use the Yale HTP
- Confirm beam compatibility: Check beam flange width and thickness against the rated range.
- Adjust to flange width: Rotate the clevis load bar until wheels seat correctly.
- Install end stops: Fit beam end stops at both ends of travel.
- Attach hoist: Suspend chain hoist from trolley clevis. Engage safety latch.
- Inspect: Wheels free, clevis bar secure, body undamaged.
- Travel: Push the suspended hoist directly to traverse the load.
Warning: Yale hoists and trolleys are not designed for passenger elevation applications and must not be used for this purpose. Always install beam end stops before use. Never exceed the Working Load Limit or the maximum 14% beam profile incline.
Safety Information
- Always inspect the trolley before each use — wheels, clevis bar, body, hand chain (where applicable).
- Never exceed the Working Load Limit stamped on the trolley.
- Confirm beam flange width and thickness are within rated range for your trolley size.
- Always install beam end stops at both ends of the travel range.
- Do not exceed the 14% maximum beam profile incline (DIN 1025-1).
- Never use the trolley to lift, lower or transport persons.
- LOLER 1998 thorough examination required every 12 months by a competent person.
Inspection and Maintenance
The HTP requires periodic inspection of wheels, bearings, clevis bar threading and trolley body. The encapsulated, prelubricated ball bearings need no routine relubrication under standard service conditions. WOLFF Onsite provides LOLER-certified inspection, spare parts and full overhaul services.
Optional Accessories
- Locking device: Secures trolley on beam for park-position applications.
- Rubber buffers: End-of-travel impact protection.
- High-temperature bearings: Up to 350°C with capacity derating (90% above 250°C, 80% above 300°C).
- Yale HTG geared alternative: For loads where hand-chain drive is preferred — see Yale HTG.
- Yale VTE-U electric alternative: For frequent long-distance travel — see Yale VTE-U.
- Yale HTP ATEX: For explosion-protected zones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between Size A and Size B?
Size A is for narrow flanges (50–220 mm, 25 mm max thickness) — typical of lighter beam profiles. Size B is for wide flanges (160–300 mm, 40 mm max thickness) — typical of heavier I-beams and HEA/HEB sections. Measure your beam before ordering; the two aren't interchangeable.
Q: HTP push or HTG geared — which do I need?
Use HTP push for light loads (under 2,000 kg), short distances, and occasional use. Use HTG geared for heavier loads, longer distances, or frequent positioning where the lower-effort hand-chain drive saves significant operator effort.
Q: What beam profiles is the HTP compatible with?
Standard I-beam profiles to DIN 1025 part 1: INP, IPE and IPB. Any beam within the flange width and thickness ranges given in the specs table will fit. Bulb sections and narrow channels aren't supported.
Q: Can the HTP be used on an inclined beam?
Yes, up to a maximum 14% beam profile incline per DIN 1025-1. Above 14% the trolley wheels aren't designed to grip reliably.
Q: Is the HTP available for explosion-protected zones?
Yes — see the Yale HTP ATEX range, available in BASIC (Zone 2/22) and HIGH (Zone 1/21) grades with MKS spark-resistant coating.
Q: How often does the HTP need LOLER inspection?
Under LOLER 1998 (UK), trolleys must be thoroughly examined by a competent person at intervals not exceeding 12 months. WOLFF Onsite provides full LOLER inspection services.
