Renewables & utilities

Spherical roller bearings, slew rings and offshore-grade workwear for wind, solar, hydro and grid operators.

Renewables and utility assets are remote, weather-exposed and unforgiving of supply chain mistakes — every site visit needs to be planned, kitted and right first time.

We support wind, solar, hydro and grid operators with marine-grade components, height safety PPE and pre-built service kits despatched anywhere in the UK.

— FAQs

Questions we get asked.

Do you supply GWO-aligned height safety PPE?

Yes — our height range is selected to align with GWO Basic Safety Training requirements, including harnesses, lanyards, rescue kits and certified anchor points.

Can you manage periodic PPE inspections?

We schedule LOLER and PPE inspections through our portal, issue certificates and flag items due for replacement so nothing leaves site uncertified.

Do you build site-specific service kits?

Yes. We pack kits against your job sheet — bearings, seals, fixings, consumables and PPE — labelled by job number so the van leaves complete.

Can you deliver to remote and offshore staging sites?

We despatch UK-wide from our Blackburn warehouse and coordinate with your logistics partners for offshore staging and supply boat schedules.
