Keeping Uniform Plants Running
Washers and dryers rarely come down on the big components. They come down on a shock, a latch spring, an inlet seal. We keep those on the shelf, with your pricing on every product page once you log in and most stock items shipping the same day.

What actually stops a uniform plant
It is rarely the machine itself. It is a shock, a sling closure that let go, or a cart that will not roll, and it happens on the shift when nobody has the part. These are the four patterns we see on the floor.
It is never the big component
Washers come down on a shock, a door latch spring, an inlet seal or a solenoid valve. All cheap parts, and all the ones least likely to be on your shelf when you need them.
Slings fail at the straps first
The body of a sling outlasts its straps and closure by a wide margin. Patching them costs loads, and a replacement bought on size alone never quite fits the cart.
Carts take the worst of the plant
Trux get loaded past capacity, rammed into door frames and parked outside. One seized caster slows every move on the floor and nobody logs it as downtime.
One backorder idles a line
A part on a three week lead time can hold up a washroom and every route that depends on it, no matter how well the rest of the plant is running.
Six categories that carry a uniform plant
Every category is stocked and orderable on the site. Pick the one you need and order what fits the machines you run.
Shock absorbers, door latch spring kits, water and steam inlet seals, and solenoid and angle body valves, listed by the machine they fit.
Flange bearings, idler rollers, brake clutches with sheaves, limit switches and pneumatic valve manifolds for the drives and drums that run every shift.
Sewn in 430 denier packcloth or polymesh, in your color and to your size specifications. Lint bags in nylon mesh to the same standard.
Number 6 and number 4 heavy sling cord on 1000 foot spools, yellow PBE closures and bag cord, so a worn closure does not take a good sling out of service.
Utility-Trux, spring platform trux, bulk trux and bushel trux, built for the loads and the abuse a uniform plant puts on them.
Colson Encore Performa swivel casters in 4, 5 and 6 inch, plus Norman Controls lift tables and fitted covers to take the lifting out of moving goods.
We fit the line you already run
The washers on a uniform floor are mostly Braun, Ellis and Brim. The dryers are mostly Challenge Cook, Braun and Lavatec. We carry shocks, door latch kits, inlet seals, valves, bearings and drive components for all of them. Pick your brand and shop the parts that fit it.
