Vesconite in Forklifts

A forklift can operate for up to 24 hours each day in various environments. Vesconite is ideal for forklifts used in harsh conditions. The wear parts used in these forklifts need high wear resistance – yet they carry heavy loads. Traditional materials need regular greasing to maintain their wear life. Vesconite’s self-lubricating properties give exceptional wear life at the same time as reducing maintenance and downtime. Vesconite has tried and tested solutions to keep your forklifts running smoothly for longer.

BENEFITS FOR FORKLIFTS

  • Vesconite increases shaft life.
  • Vesconite requires no lubrication.
  • Vesconite has an exceptionally high load capacity.
  • Vesconite excels in dirty and wet environments.
  • Vesconite is resistant to oils and fuels.
  • Vesconite bearings are easy to fit and remove.

MATERIAL COMPARISON

Vesconite is known worldwide for it long wear life, whereas bronze and nylon bushings have higher wear rates and may cause damage to mating components.

Many competing products require grease. Since Vesconite forklift parts do not need greasing, this makes them particularly desirable in food processing environments.

Vesconite’s design team can custom make most forklift wear parts, even for discontinued forklifts with difficult to find parts.

There are many parts on a forklift which are part of the mechanisms for lifting and side shifting heavy loads. Vesconite no grease, high load strength and long life wear parts are the solution for these rugged applications.

COMMON APPLICATIONS

  • Side shift pads
  • Mast pivot bushings
  • Steer axle articulation bushings
  • Lever and pedal bushings
  • King pin bushings
  • Tilt cylinder bushings
  • Gantry support bearings
