Why using Engineering plastic materials for Construction: Cranes, Industrial Vehicles and Hoist Equipment?

There was a time, more than 30 years ago, when plastic materials were absolutely not considered in cranes, industrial vehicles and hoist equipment components design. Sheaves were made of cast iron as well as rollers and skids in general were made of metal. Nowadays, fortunately, thanks to more developed knowledge of plastic materials, things are changed. So, when it comes about pulleys, rollers or other components expected to be used in these sectors first choice goes to plastic materials.

But why using engineering plastic materials for cranes, industrial vehicles and hoist equipment in general?

Because they are much lighter compared to metal materials (8 times circa); this characteristic means less costs and less kilograms ( on rotatory movements centrifugal strengths are much less).

Because of their very good load capacity with the possibility to deform but not break (elasticity properties).

Because of an exhaustive possibility of design: semi-finished materials are available in a huge range of shapes and dimensions and big parts are possible too.

Because they are self-lubricated and this helps and improve maintenance during machine life.

Because of their very good wear resistance and pv ratio which avoid stick-slip effect.
