Fenner Conveyors Belt Pull Calculation Tool©
The Fenner Conveyors Belt Pull Calculation Tool© is used to accurately determine the forces required to pull the conveyor belt around the system prior to the job commencing. This is essential to ensure correct selection of equipment such as belt winders, winches, pulling cables and pulling plates. The importance of assessing the pull force goes far beyond carrying out a risk assessment and is essential to ensure the task is carried out safely and incident free.
This tool has been developed in conjunction with independent registered engineers and takes into account pulleys, idlers, gearboxes and using the many years of experience gained in the field by Fenner Conveyors personnel. Extensive testing has also been conducted in the field to verify the accuracy of the tool.

The Australian Safety Framework provides the safety systems to foster & support safe work practices throughout the businesses - from onboarding to day-to-day activities and continual employee development.
SafetyCircle
In an effort to transform and drive safe behaviours to a new level, Fenner Conveyors has adopted a simplistic approach designed to breakdown the Australian cultural barriers of approaching our mates on keeping safe.
