Bearings & Power Transmission

Bearings are the components that let shafts and wheels spin smoothly inside machinery — from electric motors to conveyor rollers. Power transmission covers belts, chains, couplings, and pulleys that move power from a motor to the part that does the work.

6 manufacturers

PPE & Safety Equipment

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the gear that keeps your people safe on the factory floor — hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, hi-vis vests, ear defenders, and breathing masks. It's legally required and non-negotiable for compliance.

6 manufacturers

Tools & Maintenance

Hand tools, power tools, and maintenance consumables — the spanners, drills, grinders, and cutting tools your maintenance team uses every day to keep machines running and fix breakdowns fast.

5 manufacturers

Hydraulics & Pneumatics

Hydraulic systems use pressurised fluid to move heavy things — think digger arms and press machines. Pneumatic systems use compressed air for lighter, faster motion — think production line actuators and pneumatic cylinders.

4 manufacturers

Electrical & Automation

Electric motors, drives, contactors, circuit breakers, and automation controls — the components that power your machines and keep the electricity flowing safely through your facility.

4 manufacturers

Lubricants & Chemicals

Oils, greases, and industrial chemicals that keep machinery running smoothly and prevent wear. Also includes adhesives, sealants, and cleaning chemicals used in maintenance and production.

4 manufacturers

Measurement & Testing

Pressure gauges, multimeters, thermometers, and calibration equipment — the instruments your engineers use to measure, test, and verify that machinery is operating within spec.

3 manufacturers

Fasteners & Fixings

Bolts, screws, nuts, washers, rivets, and anchors — the small components that hold everything together. They're low-cost individually but add up fast across a large facility.
