Material Handling
Material handling bearings built for the demands of lifting, moving, and loading.
Design better performance into your next project.
Polygon composite bearings make lifting mechanisms in material handling equipment stronger, lighter, and longer lasting than metal components. Polygon’s application engineers have decades of experience working with leading OEMs to design composite bearings that improve the performance of material handling equipment. From pallet jacks to high-duty cranes, Polygon delivers maintenance-free performance that reduces downtime and total cost of ownership.
Potential Applications
Pallet jacks
Forklifts
Order pickers
Stackers
High-duty cranes
Conveyor systems
Dock levelers
Lift tables
When should you use Polygon Composites?
Self-lubrication is required
Bearing neglect could lead to product liability claims or premature failure
Maintenance costs need to be closely monitored
Stick-slip conditions exist
High load capacities are needed
Resistance to chemical, galvanic, or fretting-related corrosion is a problem
Galling and scoring need to be minimized
Electrical insulation is required

“Depending on the application, the composite bearings are functionally better in the type of equipment we use.
The composite bearings are maintenance free and wear better than metal. Metal-on-metal isn’t good, and metal-on-composite is more efficient and better quality in our application.
