As part of the MegaSys™ range Gates latest hydraulic hose product MXT™ will be featured as a new premium hydraulic hose range that is lighter, stronger and more flexible than any comparable premium hydraulic hose product.

In power transmission the stand will feature Gates roller chain replacement product Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™ which helps miners eliminate maintenance and save money as Poly Chain® doesn’t require ongoing maintenance like roller chain drives such as oil baths and re-tensioning, it also outlasts roller chain 4 to 1.

Also featured will be Gates Predator™ V-belts which are specifically designed to handle high powered motors, shock loads from sudden starts and stops, dirty operating environments, high heat and contamination from oil or solvents, all commonly found in mining related applications.

The Gates stand will also feature a driving simulator where attendees can experience a virtual reality hot lap with Gates sponsored Supercar driver Andre Heimgartner. The stand will also feature a kiosk where attendees can enter their details and go into a draw to win a BBQ at their workplace hosted by Andre. Andre will also be doing a meet-and-greet on the stand at 4pm on the Wednesday of the expo.

The Gates/Southcott stand at AIMEX will be a must see for all in the mining industry to discover how to reduce downtime, increase up-time and boost efficiency across a range of mining applications.
