Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a failing power transmission system?
Power transmission failures often show early signs, like belt slippage, unusual noises, excessive vibration, or visible wear on components like sprockets and pulleys. Misalignment, tension issues, or heat build-up may also be noticeable. Catching these symptoms early prevents breakdowns and extends the life of surrounding components like bearings, shafts and seals.
How do I choose the right belt or chain for my machine?
Start by checking the original part number or referring to your machine's service manual. If that’s not available, measuring the width, pitch and profile of the belt or chain can help suppliers match the right part. Also, consider the environment — heat, oil exposure and heavy loads may require specific materials or reinforcements.
Can I mix stainless and galvanised fasteners in one system?
It’s not recommended. Mixing stainless steel with galvanised fasteners can lead to galvanic corrosion, especially in humid or coastal environments. Always match material types where possible, and use anti-seize or isolation coatings if different materials must be used together.
Drive Belts, Tensioners & Idlers
Drive belts, tensioners and idlers are critical components in any engine or machinery system, responsible for transferring power and maintaining proper belt tension. If your belts are worn, cracked or squealing, or if the tensioners are binding or misaligned, it can lead to inefficient operation or full mechanical failure. Regular inspection and early replacement prevent belt slippage and reduce wear on other connected parts like pulleys and bearings. We stock a wide range of belt types and sizes, along with matching tensioners and idlers to suit most vehicle and machinery setups.
Drive Chains & Sprockets
Chains and sprockets handle repetitive, high-load motion and are essential in many agricultural, industrial and mechanical drive systems. Over time, these parts wear due to friction, debris, and torque strain, resulting in elongation or damaged teeth that affect power transfer and alignment. Choosing the right chain grade and matching sprocket can drastically improve longevity and performance. We carry single and multi-strand roller chains, hardened sprockets, and chain repair kits for a wide range of applications, including tractors, harvesters, conveyors and custom gearboxes.
Pulleys
Pulleys are more than just a wheel for a belt, they’re the guiding component that ensures torque is delivered evenly and belts track correctly. When pulleys wear out, warp or crack, they can cause severe damage to your belts or connected parts. Having the right pulley for the belt type and tension is essential. Our selection includes flat, V-groove and multi-rib pulleys in a variety of sizes and profiles to suit everything from small engines to large industrial machines. We also stock keyways, locking hubs and related hardware.
Bearings & Seals
Bearings and seals are what keep rotational systems operating smoothly and protect moving components from dirt, moisture and heat. Worn or dry bearings create friction, leading to noisy operation, heat build-up, or seizure. Damaged seals can let contaminants in, leading to premature wear or system failure. Whether you’re maintaining a wheel hub, alternator, PTO or industrial shaft, we offer bearing kits, greaseable housings, dust seals and more. Replacing these parts regularly extends equipment life and reduces the risk of costly breakdowns.
Fasteners
Fasteners are the foundation of secure mechanical assemblies. Whether you're working on engine mounts, frames, suspension or agricultural machinery, using the right fastener for the job ensures strength and safety. Fasteners must be load-rated and corrosion-resistant, especially in farming, mining and transport environments. We stock a wide variety of fasteners, including high-tensile options, coated and uncoated finishes, and specialist types for structural or vibration-heavy applications. If you're unsure what grade or thread you need, most parts can be matched by size, shape or material on the spot.
Nuts & Bolts
Nuts and bolts are two of the most commonly replaced parts in any repair, build or maintenance job — and getting the right size and thread is critical. Whether you're securing a sump plate, attaching a tow bar or repairing a worn hinge, you need parts that can handle stress and stay put. We stock everything from M6 bolts to oversized industrial threads, along with nyloc nuts, flange nuts, hex nuts and more. All are available in galvanised, stainless and zinc finishes to suit every job, big or small.
Fixtures
Fixtures serve a wide range of applications across automotive, workshop and structural settings — from mounting accessories and panels to securing electrical boxes or custom builds. They include brackets, clamps, retainers and support plates, each designed to keep parts aligned, supported and stable. The right fixture not only saves time on installation but also improves reliability by minimising wear or movement. Whether you're adding a winch mount, setting up tool storage or replacing a factory bracket, we have purpose-built fixtures for every kind of fit-out.
Screws & Washers
Screws and washers are small but crucial components in any secure assembly. Screws come in multiple types: self-tapping, coach, pan head, countersunk and machine-threaded — each are suited to different materials and torque requirements. Using the right screw prevents stripping and ensures tight, stable joins. Pairing them with proper washers, whether flat, spring, sealing or nylon, helps distribute load, reduce friction and stop movement or vibration over time. From basic panel work to structural fastening, screws and washers do more than just hold things together, they keep them working.
Stainless Hardware
Stainless steel hardware is essential for environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or long-term outdoor use. Unlike standard coated fasteners, stainless fittings resist corrosion, won’t seize under load and are suitable for marine, food-grade or exposed machinery settings. We offer A2 (304) and A4 (316) stainless nuts, bolts, screws and fittings in a wide range of sizes, threads and lengths. Choosing stainless helps reduce replacement frequency and long-term damage, especially important in farming and remote outdoor applications.
Suspension Products
Suspension parts like shackles, bushes, pins and stabilisers take a beating in heavy-duty vehicles, trailers and machinery. Worn or cracked suspension components lead to uneven handling, accelerated tyre wear, and instability during transit or operation. We stock a dependable range of load-rated suspension gear designed for high-impact use. Whether you're overhauling a trailer setup or upgrading the underbody of your 4x4 or truck, we’ve got the right suspension parts to get you back on the road with confidence.
