Specific Solutions
for Special Vehicles Applications

Robust and Durable Performance

Many applications in special purpose vehicles would not be possible without linear technology: it enables the adjustment of seats in excavators and road rollers, facilitates the handling of stretchers and trolleys in ambulances, or gives firefighters fast access to their equipment.

The versatility of linear motion systems and roller bearings extends far beyond construction and emergency vehicles. In agricultural machinery, linear actuators control the precise movement of harvesting equipment, while in mobile cranes, linear guides ensure smooth and accurate boom extension. Roller bearings play a crucial role in reducing friction and supporting heavy loads in various components.

These special vehicle applications enhance the functionality of the equipment but also contribute to improved efficiency, safety, and operator comfort across multiple industries.

For the development of customized solutions for all types of highly specialized vehicles, all mechanical components must be carefully selected. This applies to moving parts such as telescopic rail extensions and linear rails.

In specialty vehicle applications for construction, dirt-resistant linear rails are essential components. These rails are used in a variety of functions, including seat adjustments, sliding doors, and moving control panels.

The highly robust telescopic extensions employed in these applications ensure a backlash-free operation, even when subjected to maximum load conditions. This ensures smooth operation and precise control in the demanding environments typical of construction sites.

Rollon’s linear technology is characterized by high load capacity, accuracy and longevity. Even under harsh conditions, compact motion systems work reliably and precisely, ensuring mobility even in confined spaces.

 

Customizable

We create functional, tailored solutions, even in reduced space and with an extraction up to 200% of the length of the guide.

Resistant to Harsh Environments

Dust, contaminants, chemicals don’t scare us. We got your back even in the harshest environments.

High Load Capacity

Our products ensure performance and reliability, even under high loads.
