Motor
body builders and the companies involved in manufacture of camper
trailers, caravans and boats require a huge amount of industrial
hardware.
This industrial hardware includes drawer slides and drawer runners,
pre-built cargo drawers, gas struts also known as gas stays, hinges
of different styles, materials and finishes, locks, handles and
fasteners as well as a range of electrical and rubber products.
Global
suppliers such as Trailer Parts Direct (TPD) keep a very large volume
of industrial
hardware.
The products are in different sizes, styles, materials and finishes.
The rubber products required by different industries include
pinchweld rubber seals, rubber extrusions or sponge rubber as well as
self- adhesive foam tapes. Industries require a fairly large volume
of sheet
rubber
and rubber matting too.
The
selection of sheet rubber and rubber mats is divided in two
categories. The sheet
rubberis in 1200mm width and various thicknesses such as 1.5mm, 3.0mm,
4.5mm, and 6.0mm and 10.0mm. The stocks include Natural Insertion
that is UV stabilised, hard wearing and easy to clean. It also
includes Neoprene that has oil and heat resistance and is also UV
stabilised. Other types include Nitrile, Viton and EPDM.
The
second category of matting is also known as styled rubber matting
that includes Ute matting, Cow matting, ribbed matting, Coin matting
and many more. Ute matting is made from heavy duty rubber and so is
hard wearing and easy to clean. Its dimpled backing allows the
circulation of air and water that prevents water pooling and rusting.
It also provides an anti-slip walking surface due to the presence of
holes throughout the mat.
