Maintenance-free polymer products in construction machinery
Improve technology and reduce costs
protected and maintenance-free energy supply systems and polymer plain bearings in construction machinerySpecifically the construction machinery industry exposes components
in machinery and plants to high loads.
All components must be designed for maximum availability to ensure
that construction machinery can work reliably without downtime.
igus® offers plastic solutions for cable protection
and for cable guides, cables for highly dynamic continuous motions
and bearing technology for the construction machinery industry.
We expose all products to tests under real-world conditions in the largest test lab of its kind in Cologne.

Examples of application with construction machinery
Mobile drilling machine
This drilling machine is mounted on a trailer and is used to drill holes into concrete or asphalt.
Heavy load transporter
Rugged Energy Chains® are technically and economically the first choice in the construction of an extendable heavy load transporter.
Piling and drilling rigs
The driven boring machine produces extremevibrations and heavy soiling duringthe work process.
Rollers on mini excavator
Enhancement of service life, machine availability, stability and carrying capacity by the application of iglidur® in rollers on mini excavator.
Excavator
Difficult environmental conditions such as dirt, lubricants, steel wool and temperatures between -30° and +50°C in particular make maximum demands on energy chains.
Excavator seat
igus® plastic plain bearings are used here in the shock absorber of an excavator seat.
Excavator
The plain bearings run without lubrication and without significant wear and tear
in the very harsh environmental conditions of construction machinery.
Asphalt paver
The special feature of this asphalt paver is the adjustable control console.
Road construction
An asphalt finisher applies hot and cold bitumen mixtures. The E-Chain® supplies the front area of the vehicle and is exposed to extreme dirt.
Hydraulic cylinder for construction machines
iglidur® G plain bearing in hydraulic cylinder for construction machines.
Tunnel construction
Tunnel boring in defined sections with the assistance of an igus® E-ChainSystem®, which guides the essential hose cables section by section.
Tunnel boring machine
This machine moves deeply through the earthand is used to drill tunnels using the excavationby mining technique.
Servo manipulator
