Construction machinery

Construction machinery has a tough job: they have to operate reliably in every work environment and in all weather conditions. As with all industries, failures cost money and must be avoided. We offer components made of high-performance polymers that stand out due to their high durability and long service life. This includes energy chains for cable protection and guidance, e.g. when cables are used for work platforms, aerial lifts or drilling machines. The suitable UV and temperature-resistant cables for dynamic continuous movements can be found in our chainflex® cable product range. Maintenance-free and lubrication-free plain bearings for heavy-duty applications, e.g. in excavators, wheeled loaders and telescopic forklifts. For all parts, the service life is predictable, which is essential for construction planning project.

Success stories


Components for aerial lifts, telescopic boom platforms

igus replacement parts designed for guidance, transfer and bearing support on aerial lifts, telescopic boom 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.
Telescopic work platforms

Energy chain configurator

Configure complete energy supply systems for short or long travels as well as for hanging applications. Enter the application and environmental parameters and the configurator "e-chain expert" will suggest suitable solutions for your energy supply.

Tested for use in the real world

Tested for continuous load, chemical and temperature resistance

In our test laboratory, the largest in the industry, more than 10 billion test cycles are carried out per year with energy chains and chainflex cables in a total of 180 test stations. Under conditions that are as real as possible, we test the tribological properties under varying directions of movement, temperatures, media and continuous load. The results are incorporated into our tools for service life calculation and enable exact predictions of durability.

Upon request, igus carries out customer tests to check product use under completely tailored conditions.
