Hehe, I'm actually 33. Just spent a lot of time in machine shops and a lot of time working with the engineers on call. A lot of our prints have isometric views so I just kind of call any type of drawing like that isometric. Thanks again for your help.

They are flat that leads out to a taper, almost a 50/50. They state it can work with tapered or flat beams in the specs.

This is great information. Thanks for the isometric drawing. Helps a ton. I pictured almost the exact thing in my head. Thanks to everyone for their input. A lot of knowledge on this forum.

If I may ask, what thickness of steel would you recommend for these bumpers? I can't really imagine they're going to be supporting a load. I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to go about doing this just yet so im kind of brainstorming some ideas up. I don't have access to much excess steel or...

I will look into this. Thank you very much for your great explanation. Thanks for sticking with me through the process of trying to convey what is going on. Sometimes the message is lost. :)

They definitely look exactly the same. But his beam is much smaller in height than mine, his almost fits entirely in the beam. His would physically not be able to achieve the angle necessary to allow for the clearance for the wheels to fall off track in the event of an upward movement on one...

This is my beam. It's not tapered at all. Completely flat. I will try to make a video and convert to gif to show you how I am able to make it come off. Thanks for the info again.

I literally don't know what else there is to follow in the assembly instructions. There is zero movement side to side, the flange is literally touching each side of the wheels. I elected to tighten even more to get rid of the 1/8 gap as suggested. I would love to post a video to show you guys...

I just think that my beam is really designed for a larger trolley even though this one may mount on it. The beam is 5 3/16" wide, the distance to the inner webbing is about 2 1/2" And the wheels are like 3/8" on the contact surface.. so I just think that regardless it's able to pivot off under...

When you put it like that, yeah, it doesn't really make sense as an issue. My fear was having a load move sideways causing more of the load to move to one side of the track having it tip upwards on the other side. I was just under the impression that they were more secure, but it appears that...

This what bothers me also. I do indeed have about .100 space on both sides, maybe even less. I tried with zero space and it will still come off at the right angle. I just think the beam is large enough that it allows the correct angle to be achieved to slide it off. The circumstances that...

That's the thing, if the load was being lifted correctly I can't see how it would ever have any problems. But I just get paranoid about those "what if" moments. (I saw this on another trolley system but this specific model didn't have it.) I also contemplating drilling out a hole on each side...

Well I've managed to get two answers completely opposite of each other.. but I greatly appreciate the responses. All I can say is that, there is zero slip side to side, only slop when applying an angular force that causes one side to lift "up" The gravity thing definitely makes sense to me...

Hello, first timer here with what may be a stupid question: I have an I-beam that spans the entirety of my basement and garage and I've decided to purchase one of those harbor freight 2ton trolleys to ride along that ibeam. It appears to fit and function very well upon first installation...
