Less work and lower cost for the maintenance of construction machinery with igus® plastic bearings and energy chains
The performance of igus® polymer products is outstanding whether under vibration, low temperatures, heat or dirt
Construction machinery has to withstand very tough working conditions and needs to work reliably even in bad weather. igus® makes this possible with its energy chains and polymer bearings that are characterized by their outstanding resilience and long service life. The product range includes energy chains for cable protection and guidance, e.g. when cables are used for aerial work platforms, telescopic forklifts, or drilling machines. chainflex® cables that are resistant to UV radiation as well as low temperatures are designed for highly dynamic continuous motion. Maintenance-free and self-lubricating polymer bearings used wherever there are high loads, e.g. in excavators, wheeled loaders and telescopic forklifts. More than 20,000 customers worldwide place their trust in polymer solutions tested under realistic conditions, and in the many years of experience accumulated and built on by igus®.

igus® products used successfully in the construction machinery industry
Problem-free movement
Problem-free movement in spite of dirt and moisture. 16 robust and self-lubricating plastic bearings from igus® were used.
Energy chains withstand vibration and dirt
Used in a tunnel drilling machine, energy chains of the E4 family that are resistant to vibration and insensitive to dirt.
Safe and cost-effective
Cost-effective e-chain® of the 15050 series guarantees the machine's operational safety, while reducing shutdown times and maintenance times to a minimum.
Enhanced reliability
Reliable energy chains of the E2 family are used in the telescopic forklift. In energy chains, it is nearly always hydraulic hoses that are guided.
