Fahrner Industries, unique expertise to help you succeed

Lifting and handling

Fahrner Industries is an expert in the field of lifting and handling, specialising in the manufacture of plastic components such as pulleys, rollers and sliding blocks. Although the Group does not directly manufacture lifting equipment, its plastic components play an essential role in the smooth operation of equipment such as mobile cranes, forklift trucks and hoists, which enable heavy loads to be lifted, moved or hoisted in complete safety, also enhanced by the STABline range of wedges.

The use of machined plastics in the lifting and handling sector offers many advantages, depending on the objective. Lightweight lifting equipment such as hoists and cranes can be fitted with plastic parts to ensure robustness and protect wearing parts. Our parts offer exceptional safety and resistance to chemicals, weather and impact. These characteristics improve the life of your parts and their ergonomics, surpassing the performance of metal parts.

PA polyamide, the safe choice

PA for pulleys has become an indispensable part of the industry. This material withstands heavy loads, protects against the wear and tear of steel cables, and its heat resistance allows you to push the kinetic limits of your instruments. It has a low coefficient of friction, which can be further minimised by adding lubricants to the raw material composition. This ensures smooth sliding, improving system efficiency while reducing component wear and energy consumption. In addition, PA pulleys are quiet, eliminating unpleasant metallic noise.

Wear and corrosion resistance

High wear resistance and robustness allow our parts to withstand significant mechanical stress, helping to extend equipment life. Resistance to corrosion and weathering ensures excellent durability of parts. Our stock of raw materials and long-standing relationships with semi-finished product manufacturers enable us to offer a wide range of solutions in HDPE or PA, with or without fillers.
