Trolleys, forklifts, pallet jacks and similar mobile devices perform many useful functions in factories and warehouses. However, they can also cause minor and sometimes serious damage to machinery and storage vessels resulting in production down time and even injuries to operators.
Engineering plastics such as nylon, Acetal, high density polyethylene can be machined to bespoke shapes which can minimise the risks of such collisions by avoiding metal to metal impact and acting as a buffer between the stationary objects in production facilities.

UHMWPE (PE1000) Sheets and rods come in a variety of thicknesses and diameters.
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is a premium engineering polymer offering extremely high level of wear and abrasion resistance to metals and other abrasive elements. Due to its low coefficient of friction UHMWPE sheets are the ideal materials for chute liners, truck tray liners, wear pads and plates.
Furthermore, the material can be used in a wide spectrum of temperatures ranging from -260° to 80°c.
