Safe and Cost-effective vertical guiding for E-Chains

The problem of hanging energy chains operating at high speeds and with lateral accelerations is that they can swing around and lead to damage or failure, this is particularly common within storage and retrieval units. These risks are removed, with the new igus® Guidelok Slimline system.

There are a number of advantages to the new igus Guidelok Slimline over previous systems…

• Saves cost and weight – up to 80% less guide trough required
• Improves safety – clamping lever mechanism keeps E-Chain secure
• Faster and easier installation – even as a retrofit around existing systems

Accommodating hanging systems of up to 50m high, the igus Guidelok Slimline system is ideal for use in storage and retrieval units, lifts, elevators, construction and crane lifts and hoists.
