Telescopic hoist platforms are often applied in plant construction, building construction, bridge inspection or maintenance. The work places are generally outdoors. Sun, rain and dust are only some environmental factors, which have an effect on the platform. It is especially critical for the points of articulation: Standard bearings rust quickly, wear and corrode. They need in addition regular lubrication, which is related to expenses for maintenance and work interruptions. Products from igus® G series are the alternative: Durable, corrosion-resistant, lubrication- and maintenance-free.
