Maintenance-Free Parts for Aerial Lifts & Telescopic Lift Platforms

Aerial lifts, telescopic boom platforms and cherry pickers offer very little space for the safe travel of energy, which is why so many engineers turn to e-chain® cable carriers made of high-performance plastics, or a plastic-steel hybrid, from igus to protect their moving cables and hoses. igus® spare parts for guidance, transmission and bearing systems in telescopic lifting work platforms such as energy chains or drag chains, cables and supply lines as well as plastic plain bearings, linear bearings or sliding plates meet the harsh conditions of outdoor and permanently stressed devices.

Advantages of igus® products:

No screws
No loose or lost parts due to vibrations
No rusting and jamming
Cables with high UV resistance
No greasing of bearing points
Maintenance-free and self-lubricating

Everything from a single source, tested safety and quick installation

Completely assembled e-chain® systems from igus® ensure that cables and hydraulic hoses are safely routed in telescopic arms. They consist of e-chains®, chainflex® cables and hoses as well as suitable connectors or the required metal attachments.

Lifting work platforms

Inside the booms of the cherry pickers, completely harnessed energy chain systems from igus ensure safe guidance of the control cable and hydraulic hoses. These are 100 percent tested beforehand at igus.

Work platforms

This work platform is usually used in underground mining. Hitherto, hoses and cables were hanging loose and could easily get caught and be damaged.

Transport vehicle

This vehicle was specially designed for the transport of wind turbine blades.

Mining application

A versatile utility vehicle used in underground mining, which is needed for maintenance work in various areas.

Drilling and pile-driving machines

These drilling and pile-driving machines are used, for example, in railway construction to set the concrete piles for the electrical lines.

Work platform

This redesign allows the execution of several different steps in tunnelling with one device.

E4Q e-chain® with extender crossbars

Extender crossbar modular system for large diameters

with E4Q opening mechanism: adapt e-chain® individually to hose diameter. Installed easily without tools and replaces hoses as needed. By using extender crossbars instead of crossbars, the interior space of the e-chain® can be enormously enlarged, allowing large suction hoses to be safely guided if required.
