e-chains, cables, and bearings for forklifts, order pickers, and pallet trucks

Forklift with igus products
Industrial vehicles for internal logistics and order picking, such as forklifts and pallet trucks, require mechanical components that can easily withstand great weight, vibration, and shocks. Devices are also often in 24-hour use, requiring absolutely reliable functioning under continuous load.
Our energy chains, cables, and bearing products such as linear and plain bearings offer suitable solutions for various applications in vehicles. They are used in the driver's cab seat adjustment, the forklift's lifting or tilting mechanism, or various other moving parts. And thanks to the self-lubricating properties of the tribologically optimised materials, the bearing technology is also completely maintenance-free.

Where are our products used? A few examples:

Forklift lifting device

Forklift blades

Plates and round and hollow bars made from a variety of sliding plastics. Entirely free of maintenance and lubrication and highly wear-resistant.
