VESCONITE HILUBE SIDESHIFT
PADS LAST MORE THAN
1,000% LONGER
A large beverage producer’s forklift side-shift pads
have shown almost no wear since September 2019.
This was when the company replaced its existing
wear pads with self-lubricating, wear-resistant
polymer Vesconite Hilube ones, and experienced a
more than 1,000% improvement in durability.
Side-shift pads are located between the forklift
attachment and the carriage of the forklift, and
allow the user to shift a load for quick and accurate
placement by a stationary forklift onto a goods truck.

The beverage company’s original side-shift pads
were not able to cope with the typical 2-t loads that
the double-pallet-handler forklifts carried and were
quickly bitten into when moving the heavy beveragecontaining
pallets.
Vesconite Bearings provided the solution by
supplying a grease-free high-load-capacity modified
pad design with smooth dirt-trapping grooves, giving
exceptional wear life.
