This is a significant maintenance item as new trolleys had to be designed and manufactured specifically for our building.  The trolleys fit into a track that is integral to the building and is what the window washers hook up to for their scaffold.  The window washing company called our attention to the trolleys because the company believe they were so worn and rusted that they were dangerous for their staff and they refused to wash our windows until these were replaced.

Four trolleys were manufactured for Tarkington Tower, which is fewer than there were originally.  It was determined that with a small change to the track we could get by with fewer, saving our Home Owners Association significant maintenance dollars.

The picture below shows the condition of a couple of the old trolleys.
