Components for aerial lifts, telescopic boom platforms

Aerial lifts and telescopic boom platforms offer little space for safe energy supply, so users like to use energy chains made of high-performance polymers or plastic-steel hybrid energy chains from igus® to protect their over-taxed cables and hoses.
 
igus® components designed for guidance, transfer and bearing support on aerial lifts and platforms, such as energy chains and cables as well as polymer plain bearings, linear bearings or sliding plates meet the stringent requirements for components that are subjected to continuous stress in outdoor applications.

Retrofit of aerial lifts and platforms with the igus hybrid energy chain

Energy chain systems & chainflex® cables

Reliable and easy energy supply system

Energy, data and media cables and hoses must be securely guided in aerial lifts and telescopic boom platforms. Energy chains from igus® provide special cable protection not only against external influences, but also against wear, which occurs during the cyclically recurring retraction and extension of the telescopic arms with different lifting speeds.
With the service life calculator you can get up to 36 months guarantee for nearly all igus® e-chains®

YE.1 hybrid energy chain

Hybrid energy chain YE.42 YE.1 made of polymer and steel is 50% lighter than a chain made only of steel and easy to assemble because it is openable at any point and individual chain links can be replaced.

Energy chain E4.1L

Energy chain E4.1L E4.1L e-chains combine ease of installation, toughness and low weight in one product range. Available in many sizes and with many accessories from stock.

Energy chain E2.1

Energy chain E2.1 E2.1 e-chains are particularly suitable for very tight installation spaces and short unsupported lengths. Easy to assemble and openable.

Guidance for hydraulic hoses

Energy chain E2.1 Safe and reliable guidance for two hydraulic hoses with igus E2 e-chains® with extender crossbars. The special solution for lorry-mounted work platforms. The E2 e-chain® with extender crossbars is very sturdy and space-saving.

chainflex® cables

Smallest radii and high loads

chainflex® cables withstand the highest bending stresses and make the smallest bend radii up to 4xd cable diameters possible. All chainflex® cables have an up to 36-month guarantee.

Control cable CF890/CF891

Control cable CF890/CF891 For flexing applications with influence of oil. For indoor and outdoor applications without direct sun radiation. Especially for unsupported travels up to 10m.

Ready-to-install system solution for aerial lifts and telescopic boom platforms

Ready-to-install system solution for aerial lifts and telescopic boom platforms

Everything from a single source, tested reliability and fast installation

Fully harnessed energy supply systems from igus  ensure safe guidance of cables and hydraulic hoses in telescopic arms. They consist of energy chains, chainflex cables and hoses, as well as suitable plug-in connectors or required metal attachments.

Bearing technology

Self-lubricating bearings with iglidur instead of maintenance-intensive sliding blocks

Demands on lubrication and maintenance add up to high costs. With our self-lubricating polymer plain bearings, sliding plates in telescopic work platforms can be designed to work without lubrication and maintenance. In addition, they are often more cost-effective and durable than metallic solutions.

Sliding plates

Sliding plates

Polymer sliding plates are specially designed for dynamic applications, require no additional lubricant and are maintenance-free.

Maintenance and installation service

You will also obtain maintenance and installation services from igus®. We install the system with a guarantee, and our smart plastics offer the possibility to equip energy chain systems and bearing points with smart, predictive maintenance.

Predictive maintenance with intelligent products

Predictive maintenance with intelligent products

With our smart plastics, we provide special sensors (isense) and evaluation modules (icom and icom.plus) that measure the conditions of energy chain systems and bearing points, report required maintenance and also interrupt operation before major damage to a system occurs.
