Get To Know The Big 6

No one makes it on his own.

Except one-man bands.

And hermits.

Everyone else needs support. Ours comes in the form of The Big 6 – our top six vendors.

We maintain close relationships with reps from each of these companies in order to bring you the solutions that keep you up and running.

Let’s meet them, shall we?

Continental

Our team relies on Continental for high-quality conveyor belts, drive belts, V-belts, synchronous drive belts and components, plus fluid conveyance products, such as industrial hose and hydraulic hose. And each Christmas, they send us a festive gift box of rubber mulch, so, yeah, they’re aces with us!

Dodge

We have what psychologists call a “full-blown fetish” for mounted bearings, gearing and conveyor components, and the gang at Dodge sees to it that we get what we need. They also supply power transmission products, such as couplings, belted drives, bushings, hubs and collars. Learn more at the Dodge website.

Toshiba

Toshiba or not Toshiba? That is the question. We have no clue how Hamlet would respond to that query, but we count on Toshiba big time for solid state starters, plus low and medium voltage motors and drives. Visit this valuable partner online.

Martin Sprocket and Gear

There’s nothing like warm Martin sprockets fresh from the production line. They’re loaded with the vital minerals moms like and the big flavor kids love. Martin also provides other power transmission products, including gears, bushings, sheaves and couplings, as well as material handling supplies, such as bucket elevators, screw conveyors and drag conveyors.

PPI 

It never fails. Whenever we’re at a party or trapped in a subway tunnel, a guy will come up to us and ask where we get our conveyor pulleys, idlers and impact beds. “PPI,” we shout back (since the parties we attend and the tunnels we get caught in are so loud). Then he shouts, “What?” And we shout back, “PPI!” And he shakes his head knowingly. Then we use hand signals to direct him to the PPI website.

Flexco 

Mechanical belt fastening systems. Belt maintenance tools. Belt cleaning systems. Belt positioners, trackers and trainers. Clearly, the dudes at Flexco are nuts about belt stuff. And that’s why we love ‘em. Visit Flexco.com.
