Maintenance of the girder trolley can be combined with that of the block; however, one should make sure that the trolley is kept clean and the moving parts are lubricated regularly. The contact surface of track and running surface of wheels should be kept free of any contamination including lubricants.
Regularly inspection of the trolley is very much recommended as it will give you an idea when and where the repairs are required. In case there is any defect in the trolley, it should be taken off the service and send for repairs to a competent person.
By regularly inspecting the girder trolley, you can reduce the overall wear and tear and make sure that it remains in service for a longer period of time.
Furthermore, the accessories attached to the girder trolleys should also be inspected at regular intervals and when the trolley is not in use, these accessories should be removed and kept at a clean and dry place.
