	The paper presents results of laboratory tests of linear guides in the application to move heavy loads. The first phase of the work included construction of a test bench in the form of a steel frame running on profiled rails using HIWIN type blocks. Subsequently, investigations involving movement of the frame with various loads were performed. In each case a driving force of an operator was measured. Based on the obtained results, average values of the resistance to motion coefficients were estimated.
