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 system for every application.

As energy chains work without screws, vibrations cannot result in parts getting loose or lost. No rusting or jamming as made from polymer. Openable at any point you like and assembled in minutes. Cables with high UV resistance, designed for continuous dynamic use in energy chains with a guarantee of up to 4 years. No greasing or regreasing of bearing points because our plain and linear bearings as well as sliding plates are completely free from maintenance and lubrication.

Whether on construction sites, fire brigades or Hollywood films: lifting platforms with inclined axes and telescopic extensions are used all over the world. Their designers need energy supply systems that are lightweight, robust, resistant and easy to maintain. Manufacturers have therefore been investing in research and development for decades.
