ABSTRACT:
A trolley according to the present invention is utilized to transport garments or other articles over a rail system between desired locations. The trolley includes a support member and a plurality of trolley heads each disposed at a corresponding support member end. The trolley heads each include a housing with rollers disposed therein and an arm that connects that trolley head to a corresponding end of the support member. The rollers engage a slick rail system to enable the trolley, with the support member in a generally horizontal orientation, to traverse the rail system and transport garments suspended from the support member. One of the trolley ends includes a pivoting mechanism that enables the support member to pivot or swivel with respect to the trolley arm at that end to place the support member in a generally vertical position.
