Gates delivers dependable solutions for trucks and buses
Gates offers an extensive range of power-transmission and cooling-system components for heavy-duty trucks, buses, coaches and other commercial vehicles.
At the heart of its commercial-vehicle offering is the Gates FleetRunner Heavy Duty range, developed to provide the durability and reliability required by high-mileage fleets operating in demanding conditions.
The Gates truck range includes Micro-V and V-belts for alternators, cooling fans, water pumps, air-conditioning compressors and other auxiliary systems. It also features automatic belt tensioners, idler and guide pulleys, together with complete accessory-drive kits for selected applications.
These kits allow workshops to replace the belt and associated wear components at the same time. This can deliver a more reliable repair because fitting a new belt alongside a worn tensioner or damaged pulley may significantly shorten the belt’s service life.
Gates also supplies water pumps, thermostats, coolant hoses and moulded hose assemblies for a wide variety of truck and bus applications. These products are designed to withstand the heat, pressure, vibration and intensive operating cycles encountered in commercial vehicles.
A failure within the auxiliary drive or cooling system can cause overheating, battery-charging problems and unexpected vehicle downtime. Selecting quality replacement components and following the correct maintenance procedures can therefore make an important contribution to fleet reliability.
Backed by extensive application data, technical information and workshop support, the Gates range gives commercial-vehicle repairers access to dependable replacement solutions from an established global manufacturer.
For workshops, motor factors and fleet operators, Gates offers a comprehensive programme designed to extend component life, reduce roadside failures and keep hard-working commercial vehicles productively on the road.
