Specification
The GT5501P trolley is manufactured and tested to the highest standards.
The GT5501P is constructed from 3 main materials, these being aluminium, 316 stainless steel
and phosphor bronze.
The Top Frame, X Frames and the Base Frame are all manufactured from aluminium, which is
lightweight and this aids the easy movement of the trolley.
The hydraulic system is manufactured from a combination of these three materials. This system
is manufactured in house, using the very latest technology to ensure the close tolerances
required.
A special adjustable flow valve is fitted to the system to ensure the smooth operation of the
lowering facility. This valve is set up during inspection and testing before despatch. Adjustment of
this valve must only be carried out by Wardray Premise trained engineers.
It is advisable that this product is inspected and serviced every six months by a Wardray Premise
trained engineer.
A service contract package is available, and details are available upon request from our Service
Department on [phone].
For international customers please contact your local Wardray Premise representative for
assistance.
