Hoist Trolley capacity

I bought a hoist trolley on ebay. The seller listed it as a 1 ton unit. But now that I look at it in detail, I am questioning the stated capacity. It seems a bit light-weight to me.

The trolley has some markings cast into it: Jervis and

2380

but nothing else. The unit is in good shape (although a bit grungy). All the wheels turn freely.

I did a google search using the markings above but didn't find anything useful.

How can I determine if it really IS a 1-ton unit short of loading it with 2000 lbs of stuff?

If it is Jervis Webb, I would call them Tel: 1-248-553-1220.

I sent them an email and had an answer within an hour. VERY nice and quite a change from other companies that I've written.

Thanks for the suggestion.

PS The trolley is rated at half a ton - boo hiss

They make good stuff, they are not a fly by night operation.
