Selecting a Supplier for Titanium: What You Should Actually Consider
Purchasing titanium is different than buying mild steel. You can’t call around looking for the lowest price per kg. The cheapest price is most likely the wrong grade, wrong condition or no documentation at all. With titanium, the documentation is half the cost. So, what differentiates a real supplier from a merchant who has some…

When Standard Racking Won’t Cut It: The Case for Cantilever Systems
The basic components of a standard cantilever system include bases, columns, arms, and bracing. The bases are designed to provide stability through sheer weight and size, effectively counterbalancing the leverage effect of the arms as they extend outward from the system with whatever goods are stored on them. Industrial-grade bases are in the hundreds of…

Split roller bearings
You will generally find two types of split roller bearings available to buy: fixed type and expansion type. The fixed split roller bearing will give axial location, and will work with radial and axial loading. Expansion split roller bearings will only take radial loads, and the inner moves axially with the shaft when there is expansion/contraction. If you’re unsure, ask an expert which type of bearing you need.
Catenary Wires
If you’re looking to utilise a wire rope for overhead purposes, then a catenary wire is the perfect solution. Whether it be for over head high voltage electrical lines, or even for something like decorations or production purposes, catenary wires should be considered for their robust and flexible nature.

Electric hoists
Electric hoists are a type of lifting equipment which use electric energy to power its operation. Electric chain hoists are one of the most popular types of electric hoists and they are used in many industrial applications. They consist of an electric motor, chain, control switch and load-sensing system.
The advantages of using an electric chain hoist include their ability to lift large amounts of weight, the ease of use and control, as well as their safety features. Electric chain hoists are typically used to move heavy loads in industrial settings such as warehouses and factories. They can also be used for purposes such as construction, automotive repair, and maintenance work.
Electric chain hoists are available in various types and sizes, which makes them suitable for many different applications. Some of the most popular types include monorail hoists, chain blocks, and lever hoists. The type of electric hoist chosen will depend on the application it is going to be used for and the weight of the load being moved.
Cantilever Racking
Not every storage problem can be solved with standard shelving. Cantilever rack systems are built specifically for long, unwieldy loads — steel sections, timber, pipe, sheet goods — where front-column obstruction makes conventional racking impractical. With adjustable arms, open front access, and configurations available for both indoor and outdoor use, cantilever racking solutions handle stock that simply doesn’t fit anywhere else.
