A bottling plant achieved over 10 times the life of forklift side-shift pads by switching to self-lubricating wear-resistant Vesconite Hilube.
These hard working pads allow the side-shift attachment (which carries the forks) to move left and right freely, for quick and accurate loading.
The forklifts’ original side-shift pads were quickly bitten into by the 2 ton loads that these double-pallet forklifts handle.
Vesconite Bearings solved the problem by supplying high-load pads which do not require greasing yet give exceptionally long wear life.Â
