Why Gatorback
Special EPDM material used in Gatorback prevents noise
build up with small misalignments on multi pulley drives.
This results in operating noise reduction up to 15 dB vs.
standard poly-v belts.
Due to unique HelicogTM diagonally shaped cogged
ribs less strain on the rib is produced when a belt
runs over a back idler, so rib cracks are less likely to
occur.
HelicogTM also provides a self cleaning effect if
contaminated with dust or water and better flexing
capability of the belt.
It’s so simple
Fit & Relax is aimed at the established installer (1) (VAT registered) within
EU operating under conditions of acknowledged capabilities (tools,
