Materials Handling

The handling of materials is a constant challenge from the smallest of packages to the very largest and heaviest of equipment that may need moving.  They all come with their own logistical challenges which in a lot of cases has resulted with the development of a tool or machine to assist.

Moving materials around also means that people will be involved and the safety of these people is of the upmost importance.

Common equipment used in the Material handling sector would be the use of conveyors or cranes both of which take many forms from light duty to extremely heavy duty.  A common factor across all of them is the many moving parts which are subject to dynamic loads and vibrations.

The need to ensure that the bolted joints holding these systems together are maintaining their pre-load is critical to safe operation.

The WL Series Wedge locking washer achieves this and ensures peace of mind for the operators that if the bolted joints are designed and installed correctly in the first place that by using these washers the bolted joint will not come loose.
