Abstract
An expandable cable trolley system for supporting cables for a hoist from a trolley configured to travel along an overhead beam. The cable trolley system includes a first block, a second block, and a third block with cooperating curved slots that form openings to receive the cables. The first block has at least one roller mounted on the top surface for engaging with an overhead beam. The second block is disposed below and attaches to the first block. The third block is disposed below the second block and attaches to the second block. The configuration of the multiple blocks provides for an expandable system that can be formed into multiple rows by means of one set of fasteners having substantially the same length.
