  • Smooth transition

    The variable frequency drive regulates the motor’s speed and torque, enabling smooth acceleration and deceleration for smoothly and safely moving loads.

  • True variable speed

    The Danfoss VFD allows true variable speed control when paired with a capable remote or pendant. By default this trolley is set up to work with a 2 speed control.

  • Easy mounting

    The SMT can connect to a hoist with a lug (compatible with Starke hoists) or clevis (compatible with most hoist brands and models).

  • Fits up to 16" beams

    With the flange width adder, you can connect safely to beams up to 16". Standard max width (without the adder) is under 9".
