Components for aerial lifts, telescopic boom platforms

Low weight and high stability: two main reasons to opt for components from igus® in the event of an energy chain failure in work platforms. We have the right energy supply for every application.

Our e-chain®, cables and cables as well as plastic plain bearings, linear bearings and sliding plates fulfil the tough conditions of equipment working outdoors and under continuous load and do not require any additional lubricants.

No parts can be lost due to vibrations, as the energy chain does not require any screws. No rusting or jamming as they are made of plastic. Can be opened at any point and installed in minutes. High UV resistance of the cable and designed for continuous dynamic use in drag chains with a 36-month guarantee. No greasing and relubrication of bearing points, as our plain and linear bearings and sliding plates are completely maintenance and lubrication-free.
