Gearbox manufacturers · Manufacturing
Be the gearbox a maintenance head can match to the dead one.
A gearbox on a belt conveyor at a cement plant seizes at night. The maintenance engineer reads the nameplate: ratio, shaft diameter, mounting.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
A gearbox manufacturer makes the helical, worm, bevel and planetary reducers that slow a motor down and add torque to a conveyor, mixer or crane. Marketing gets your ratios and frame sizes found by OEMs and plant maintenance teams. Sales turns breakdown replacements and OEM contracts into orders.
Then the phone calls begin, because the replacement has to bolt on to the existing base plate and shaft line without rework. The supplier who can match the plate in one call is the one the engineer stays on the line with.
OEMs buy the same product in a different way. A conveyor builder or a mixer maker picks a gearbox early in the design, puts the part into the drawing and then keeps buying it. Winning that slot is slow, and a maker left out of the drawing is left out of every machine built from it.

How buyers decide
How gearbox manufacturers are chosen.
Breakdown buyers choose on fit and speed. They compare the nameplate of the failed unit against a catalogue, and they prefer the supplier who can interpret a worn or painted-over plate over the phone. A cross-reference to the competing brand's model is worth more than a brochure.
OEM design engineers choose on torque, service factor, ratio range, mounting options and a technical person who will answer a sizing question. The purchase team then looks at price, delivery and payment terms. A catalogue that makes sizing simple is carried into every drawing the engineer makes.
Distributors of power transmission products carry the middle ground. A distributor who knows your range and holds common ratios supplies small fabricators and plants in the area, and recommends the brands the counter knows best.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for gearbox manufacturers.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“Our catalogue assumes the buyer already knows the model”
A maintenance engineer with a seized unit has only a nameplate. Our pages ask for a model number that the engineer does not have.
“OEM engineers specify a competitor out of habit”
Their drawings carry another brand's part number, and the bill of materials has no line for ours.
“We take breakdown calls and lose them on delivery”
A buyer asks if we have stock, and the answer depends on whoever can walk to the store, so the buyer calls the next supplier.
“Sizing questions need an engineer and the engineer is busy”
A designer sends a duty description by email, and the reply waits until an engineer is free from the shop floor.
“Distributors do not know our range”
The counter holds two brands, stocks only the commonest ratios, and the counter reaches for the brand it knows.
“We have no record of who bought what”
Repeat plants and OEMs are in different notebooks, so replacement offers never reach the customer.
What we do
What we do for gearbox manufacturers.
Everything included for gearbox manufacturers.
A replacement finder
A page where a maintenance engineer enters the ratio, shaft size, mounting and power from a nameplate and sees the matching model, with a cross-reference to common competing makes where you have verified the fit.
Sizing guides for OEM designers
Short guides that explain how to choose a gearbox for a conveyor, mixer, hoist or agitator, with a link to a duty enquiry form that your engineer answers.
Catalogue pages by family
One page for each family, with torque tables, dimension drawings and downloadable CAD, so engineers can work offline.
Distributor programme
A list of power transmission distributors by town, a recommended stock list, a price sheet and a call list of those who have stopped ordering.
Stock list message
A WhatsApp message format that lists the ratios in stock, ready for your store to send to dealers and repeat plants when asked.
Customer register
A record of every plant and OEM, the model supplied and the date, with a note of the service and replacement parts that model needs.
How the result is measured
- Breakdown enquiries against OEM enquiries
- Nameplate enquiries answered with a matched model
- Quotes won by customer type
- Distributors ordering against dormant
- OEM drawings that name your model
- Repeat orders from plants already supplied
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Priority campaigns
Campaigns for what gearbox manufacturers most want to sell.
Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.
Nameplate replacement search campaign
Search ads and pages built around gearbox replacement terms, ratio and frame size, aimed at industrial belts.
OEM design-in campaign
Outreach to conveyor, mixer and machine designers with sizing guides, starting with builders who have just launched or announced a new model.
Sugar season and cement shutdown campaign
Targeted calls to plant maintenance heads before sugar crushing and annual shutdowns, with a list of common spares and replacement units.
Distributor refresh campaign
A visit and WhatsApp programme for distributors with a stock list and a counter display.
Repair and rebuild campaign
Pages and outreach for plants running old boxes, setting repair and replacement side by side.
Beyond search
Where we reach buyers of gearbox manufacturers, beyond Google.
Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.
Plant maintenance and mechanical heads
Lists by industrial area and sector, with outreach built around the shutdowns each plant has planned.
Conveyor, mixer and machine OEMs
Design and purchase teams, reached with sizing guides and a supplier pack.
Power transmission distributors
Distributors who carry bearings, belts and couplings, where the same maintenance buyer asks for a gearbox at one counter.
Fabricators and turnkey project firms
Firms that fit a gearbox to every conveyor and structure they build, given a simple price list to quote from.
Repair shops and millwrights
The people plants ask whether to repair or replace, given your range, your cross-reference and a contact for sizing questions.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.

- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the work runs for gearbox manufacturers
- 1
Sort the enquiries and the lost deliveries
Enquiries are sorted by source, breakdown or OEM, and by those lost on delivery, from your own records.
- 2
Build the finder, guides and family pages
All three are built from your own technical data and checked by your engineers.
- 3
Set up distributor and customer records
A distributor call list, a stock list message and a customer register.
- 4
Time outreach to design cycles and shutdowns
Outreach follows OEM design cycles and plant shutdown lists.
- 5
Split results into breakdown and OEM
Enquiries, quotes and orders are split by breakdown and OEM, so you can see which kind of buyer is paying.
