FAQs

What are Unified End Trucks used for?

Unified End Trucks are wheel assemblies mounted at each end of a bridge in an enclosed track rail crane system. They enable the bridge to travel smoothly along the runway, supporting efficient load movement.

 

What types of end trucks are available?

There are two main types: rigid and articulating. Articulating end trucks allow for more precise load positioning and reduce the push/pull force required to move the bridge, often to less than 1% of the load weight.

 

Which systems are Unified End Trucks compatible with?

They are designed for use with ETA-4, ETA-5, and ETA-8 enclosed track rail systems, offering flexibility across various load capacities and applications.

 

How do I determine the correct end truck for my application?

Selection depends on factors such as bridge length, load capacity, and system type. Consulting the product specifications or a CMCO representative can help ensure proper sizing and compatibility.

 

Are replacement parts or maintenance kits available?

Yes, CMCO offers replacement components and maintenance support for Unified End Trucks. Regular inspection and lubrication are recommended to maintain optimal performance.
