Industrial vehicles with high-performance polymers

Defects, repairs and maintenance on industrial vehicles can quickly become expensive—not only due to replacement parts but also because of costly downtime. To keep operations running smoothly, these machines require robust, reliable components that minimise failures and reduce unnecessary expenses.

Whether dealing with high bearing loads of up to 250 MPa or extremely tight cable bending radii, igus® offers maintenance‑free, long‑life solutions for forklifts, industrial tractors and driverless transport systems. In many cases, traditional metal bushings or recirculating ball bearing guides can be replaced with self‑lubricating polymer plain bearings and linear guides, delivering cleaner, more durable performance.
