I am having trouble finding the difference between and I beam Trolley with a roller bearing and a sleeve bearing?

I know that the roller bearing has 4 wheels that sit on the bottom base of the I Beam and roll back and forth but I am not sure how a sleeve bearing is different from that?

Thanks
 
Sounds like it's describing the bearings for the wheels on the I-beam roller itself, one type having a roller bearing and the other being a sleeve bearing.

Roller bearing:
Rendered image of a cylindrical roller bearing with a dark metal outer ring, a row of cylindrical rollers between inner and outer races, and a bore in the centre.


Sleeve bearing:
Two cylindrical sleeve bearings with silver metal outer housings and bronze-colored inner bushings, one taller and one shorter with a flanged end.
 
I never got to thank you for your help, but those pictures really cleared up the difference between the two bearings.

Thank you
