OVERVIEW
Overhead Hose Festoon Trolleys from AKON are used around the country in both industrial, commercial and residential applications. The trolleys ride inside of an enclosed track made from one piece construction galvanized steel making them some of the strongest hose festoon trolleys on the market. The roller wheels are made from either steel or nylon depending on the weight load that you need to carry. AKON's overhead hose and cable trolley systems consist of three basic components: trolleys, tracks, and the supports.
Applications
EV Charge Cord Cable Management
EV Charger Cable Retractors by AKON allows you to retract and manage your EV charge cords neatly above your car. This prevents trip hazards and gives your garage a more professional appearance. Akon is your one stop shop for EV charge cord management. Choose from several different mounting styles to suit the structure that you are attaching to. BUILD ONLINE
Hose Trolley Festoons | Greenhouses
Using the Akon Trolley, you can better organize your overhead water hoses. The hose trolley suspends the hoses over the floor and plants. This allows the hose to be stretched out as you walk along to perform watering duties. Keeping hoses above the work area reduces tripping accidents, frees up additional space, allows for quick watering and neat storage when not needed.
Air Hose Trolley System | Shops and Garages
The Akon Air Hose Trolley is the solution to disorganized and cluttered air hoses. This innovative trolley suspends the hoses overhead, keeping them off the floor and out of the way of your work areas. As you move around the production floor, the hose stretches out with you, providing easy access to the pressurized air you need. Not only does this system improve safety by reducing tripping hazards, but it also maximizes your workspace by freeing up valuable floor space. And when the workday is done, the trolley makes it simple to neatly store your hoses for the next time you need them.
Trolleys
Description
Choose a trolley that best fits the item that you want to hang on the overhead trolley. Nylon wheels are for lighter load weights and steel wheels are for heavier load weights. The steel wheels have ball bearings for easy rolling. Take note that if you want your hose to accordion fold up when retracted to the wall then the AKON trolley needs to swivel 360° or what you attach below our trolley needs to swivel 360°. For thin cords this really does not matter but for large cords like an EV charge cable then accordion folding is best.
Load Capacity 40lbs Each
Load Capacity 75lbs Each
Load Capacity 125lbs Each
Hose Holders
Description
Akon does not supply hose holders due to the vast amount of different hoses and cords that our customers want to interface with. We do however show you some popular styles below along with where you can order them from in the list below. As mentioned above, if you want your hose to accordion fold up when retracted to the wall then the AKON trolley needs to swivel 360° or what you attach below our trolley needs to swivel 360°. For thin cords this really does not matter but for large cords like an EV charge cable then accordion folding is best.
Tectran Swivel Clamp
Tectran offers several styles of clamps and some swivel at the attachment point which will allow your hose to accordion fold when you retract them on our track. They offer different size openings for large and small hoses. Video (AKON FAVORITE)
Ailbiuko Airpower Line Clamp
If using this style of hose holder then make sure to use an AKON trolley that swivels as this hose holder does not.
D-Ring Shackles
This style is common for electrical cords that are very flexible which are not needed to accordion fold.
Loom Clamps
You can bolt these onto almost any of our trolleys. Just run the cable/hose through the loom clamp, then bolt it to our trolley. This style will not allow your hose to accordion fold unless the AKON trolley swivels.
Grote & Velvac Hose Holders
If you have a few hoses then you can use a multi slot hose holder. We recommend an AKON swivel style 4 wheel trolley for this hose mount. Some of these have a swivel head while others don't.
Track Attachments
Ceiling Mount Support
Choose this mounting style if you want your industrial curtain track to mount to the ceiling with only a few inches of open gap.
Wall Mount Support
This curtain track mount is designed for mounting the track next to a vertical wall or stud. This can be parallel to the wall, or perpendicular.
Chain or Cable Support
Like the threaded rod, a chain supported curtain track is also good for spanning large distances. Both chain or cable can be used to hold up the track.
Threaded Rod Support
If the distance between the anchor points above is higher than where you want the curtain track, then a threaded rod mount might work well. Steel rods support the track and span the distance between the track and the ceiling.
I-Beam Support
When connecting to a truss, I-Beam or any other horizontal steel support this style of mount works best. Once connected, you simply tighten down the set screw.
Components
Radius Corner
By using a 90 degree radius corner you can go around obstructions or make shapes. Just like the other overhead trolley components, the 24" radius corner quickly attaches and detaches as needed. Use 1 radius for an L-Shape design, 2 radius corners for a C-Shape and 4 radius corners for a complete enclosure.

Load Capacity
The AKON enclosed overhead trolley should always be properly secured to a strong structure to prevent it from falling and causing an injury. AKON does not provide guidance on fasteners for attaching the trolley track. The trolley track is not intended to hold a person. The safe load limit of the overhead trolley track and trolley is determined by 3 variables:
- Structure Load Capacity
- Your structure needs to be strong enough to hold the track plus the load
- Trolley Load Capacity
- (2) Nylon wheels are 40lb capacity, (2) Steel wheels are 75lb capacity, (4) steel wheels are 125lbs capacity
- Track Load Capacity
- The spacing of the track supports will determine the maximum load capacity. The closer the track supports are to each other, the more load it can hold. As a general rule, for maximum heavy load capacity you want the track supports every 3'. Lighter loads allows you to increase the track support spacing. Never space out your supports farther than 6'.
