We supply standard and special fasteners in bulk to Australian manufacturers, distributors and equipment builders. Certified high tensile bolts, coated nuts and bolts, studs, threaded rod and fasteners made to your drawing, inspected by lot and delivered at one landed price.
| Metric property classes | 4.6, 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9 for bolts and screws; matching nut classes 8 and 10 |
|---|---|
| Structural | High strength structural assemblies to the specification stated on your drawing or project spec |
| Stainless steel | A2 (304) and A4 (316) for corrosive, food and marine environments |
| Imperial | Grade 5 and Grade 8 equivalents where legacy equipment requires them |
| Special materials | Alloy steels, high-temperature grades and non-ferrous on request |
| Zinc plating | Clear, yellow, blue or black passivate for indoor and light-duty use |
|---|---|
| Hot dip galvanising | Spun galvanising for threaded items to AS/NZS 4680, for outdoor and structural service |
| Mechanical galvanising | Where hydrogen embrittlement risk must be minimised on high tensile fasteners |
| Zinc-nickel & Dacromet type | High corrosion resistance for automotive, trailer and coastal applications |
| Black oxide & phosphate | Light protection with a dark finish, common on socket screws |
| PTFE & friction control | Where controlled torque-tension behaviour is specified |
Because zinc adds thickness, threads on galvanised fasteners are cut or tapped to allow for the coating. If your assembly has a tight fit or a specific torque requirement, tell us and we will confirm the correct combination.
The strongest value we offer in fasteners is not commodity bolts, where local distributors already buy well, but the awkward items: long or oversized bolts, shouldered and stepped studs, non-standard head forms, u-bolts to a specific radius, foundation bolt assemblies, and parts that combine machining with threading. These are typically expensive and slow to obtain in small local quantities, and are a good fit for drawing-driven manufacture.
Fasteners ship in high volumes, so inspection is by lot to an agreed sampling plan, normally AQL-based, rather than piece by piece. We are deliberately clear about this because 100% inspection of bulk hardware is not realistic and we would rather set the right expectation. A typical inspection report records:
Bulk fasteners are supplied in cartons or kegs with clear labelling: part number, size, grade, coating, quantity, batch and your own item code if you use one. Where fasteners feed a production line we can pack to your kit quantities so items arrive ready to issue rather than needing to be counted and re-boxed.
| Standard items | Usually economical in carton or keg quantities; the saving grows with volume |
|---|---|
| Special fasteners | Often viable from a few thousand pieces, sometimes fewer for large sizes |
| Quotation | 3 to 7 business days from a complete specification or drawing |
| Samples | 2 to 4 weeks where a special item requires approval |
| Production | 4 to 8 weeks depending on size, coating and quantity |
| Sea freight to Australia | Typically 4 to 6 weeks port to port, plus customs and delivery |
For standard fasteners: size, length, thread pitch, property class, coating and quantity. For specials: a drawing or a sample, plus annual usage. Also tell us your current landed cost if you are benchmarking, as it helps us tell you quickly whether a switch is worth pursuing. See the request a quote checklist.
Yes. Class 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9 fasteners are supplied with mill test certificates covering chemistry and mechanical properties, with batch traceability where required.
Yes, and this is usually where the best value sits. Non-standard bolts, shouldered studs, u-bolts, foundation bolts and machined specials are made to drawing.
By lot, to an agreed AQL sampling plan, covering dimensions, thread gauging, hardness and coating thickness. We do not claim 100% inspection on bulk hardware.
Zinc plating with various passivates, spun hot dip galvanising, mechanical galvanising, zinc-nickel, Dacromet type coatings, black oxide and phosphate, plus stainless steel where coating is unsuitable.
For ongoing programs we can plan a call-off schedule with buffer stock so you are not carrying the whole shipment at once. This is arranged case by case.
