Its a moving story: WDS is expanding
its conveyor components range
The UK’s leading supplier of
engineering components,
WDS Components Parts
Ltd. is expanding its range
of conveyor parts, with
new guide rails, bracketry,
bearing mountings
and guides. These will
complement the existing
skate wheels, omni-wheels,
support bases, connecting
joints, mounting brackets,
head mounts and clamps.
“With the newest additions, WDS now offers
a complete set of elements for the building,
extension, maintenance and repair
of materials handling
systems,” Adrian Wells,
Product Manager at WDS
explains.
In addition to supplying a full suite of
components parts, WDS simplifies the
procurement process by offering a compre-
hensive online catalogue that features technical
data, 3D CAD models and one-click ordering
for all of its standard parts. Each component
is available in a range of sizes, with options
for variations such as shaft lengths, choice
of handle type and metric or Imperial screw
thread options. It also offers products in a
range of materials, such as stainless steel for
clean and hygienic environments, aluminium
for weight sensitive applications, or plastics and
ceramics as an alternative to steel, etc.
Its conveyor products are further supported
by the full range of standard engineering
parts such as fastenings, hinges, clamps;
footings, mounts, casters and wheels;
shafts and joints; levers, knobs, handles
and hand wheels; locating pins, locks and
latches. All of these are supported by the
layers of technical help WDS makes freely
available via its website (www.wdsltd.co.uk),
telephone help line (08456 066677),
email communications and on-line videos.
WDS’ headquarters combines a stock
holding and dispatch centre with on-site
manufacturing so that it can offer a bespoke
service to customers that require special
products rather than standard components.
Thanks to this set up it is able to offer next
day delivery on 98% of standard orders and
extremely fast turnaround of bespoke orders.
Adrian explains the advantage of this:
“Typically a conveyor system will be made up
almost completely of standard components,
but there may be a need for a customised
bracket, special mounting or similar. At WDS
we are able to produce these little extras
and save our client all the effort of finding
and dealing with a third party for just one
or two parts.”

“Typically, we supply
conveyor parts to two types
of customer: end users and
specialist conveyor design
and build firms. The latter
make the main conveyor
beds complete with
powered rollers and/or
drives. Of course, many
sectors use conveyors,
so we have built a portfolio
of products that can serve
a wide range of users,
including manufacturing
companies, food
processors,
pharmaceuticals
producers, electronics
specialists, parcel and
package distributors.
The conveyors are also
suitable for end-of-line
operations, such as
packing, stacking,
palletising and transfer
in any industry.
