    PULP & PAPER

     

    Gates PowerGrip GT4 delivers the highest power-carrying capacity of any belt in its class and is the optimum choice for high-performance drives in the pulp and paper industry, where durability and low maintenance are essential. Not only does it deliver the highest power-carrying capacity of any belt in its class but also handles intermittent use at extreme temperatures from -40°F to 284°F (-40°C to 140°C).

    POWERSPORTS

     

    From side-by-sides and UTVs to ATVs and snowmobiles, Gates G-Force CVT belts are engineered for the demands of every powersports application. Whether it's high horsepower, extreme torque, rugged terrain, or freezing temperatures, our belts deliver the durability, grip, and consistent power transfer riders count on, so you can push further, ride harder, and explore more with confidence.

    FORESTRY & LUMBER

     

    Unlike roller chain, Gates Poly Chain belts need no maintenance, re-tensioning, or lubrication. Durable and incredibly strong, they’re ideal for forestry and sawmill applications such as debarkers, saws, conveyors, planers, and stackers. The nonslip design maintains speed and saves energy, and Poly Chain withstands wide-ranging temperatures.

    Yes, as of September 28, 2026, Gates has completed the acquisition of the belts business of The Timken Company.

    Yes. The Gates equivalents are engineered to match the dimensions and performance of the belts they replace, so they fit your existing pulleys, sheaves, and sprockets. When in doubt, our Product Application specialists can confirm the fit for your specific application.

    Search NaviGates by your existing part number (Gates or competitor) or by belt size to find the correct Gates equivalent, then order through your authorized Gates distributor. If you are an authorized Gates distributor, or interested in becoming one, contact a Gates sales representative.

    The Ultimax and Timken belt products are being integrated into the Gates portfolio. Over time, these products will transition to Gates branding, with equivalent Gates products replacing the Timken and Ultimax lines. The products you rely on will continue to be available under the Gates name, so you’ll have a clear cross-reference to the corresponding Gates part.

    Gates offers a comprehensive belt lineup engineered to meet or exceed the performance of the Timken belts they replace. For most Timken belts part numbers, there is a Gates equivalent designed for the same application, fit, and duty. Use the Gates cross-reference tool and search NaviGates by your existing part number or contact a Gates sales representative to identify the direct Gates replacement for any Timken belt.

    The change to Gates branding will occur on a phased basis as products are integrated into the Gates portfolio. Timken and Ultimax belts remain available through Gates during the transition until inventory is exhausted, and equivalent Gates products will be introduced with clear cross-references so customers can identify the right Gates part.
