The pipe rail trolley has come to a halt
Careless transport, an overloaded pipe rail structure, too much manual power, overloading, ignoring the skewers, and driving next to the pipes of the concrete route and raising them on the pipes or on a non-level surface are also possible causes of a pipe rail trolley falling. If the pipe rail trolley tips over, take these steps:

Switch the pipe rail trolley off.
Adjust the vehicle’s alignment.
Take off the covers.
Unplug the batteries.
Vacuum the vehicle.
Accept the consequences.
Identify the source of the fall and eliminate it.
Inspect the pipe rail trolley and, if possible, summon a technician.

Note: If the pipe rail trolley tips over, liquids will spill. It’s possible that disruption to the pipe rail trolley causes battery fluid to spill out. This is very corrosive!

Other issues or malfunctions
Consult the supplier if the pipe rail trolley exhibits any other flaws or issues.
