Industrial PJ-162 Hoist Trolley

Industrial PJ-162 Hoist Trolley, a vintage unit from American Industries, serves as the movable carriage for an overhead hoist system. The PJ-162 model appears in vintage catalogs as part of American Industries’ hoist trolley lineup, illustrating its role in enabling horizontal travel of a hoist along an overhead beam. Designed for use with an overhead I-beam track, this trolley is typically mounted to carry a hoist and allow loads to be moved along a work area such as a warehouse, factory floor, or maintenance shop. Because this is a vintage component, compatibility depends on matching the hoist mounting to the trolley and aligning with the beam and track configuration used in the installation. The PJ-162 designation identifies this specific trolley within American Industries’ product lineage, and it may be used to retrofit or restore hardware in overhead lifting systems that require a PJ-162-style trolley.
