Construction Equipment Belts
Dumper Belts
Belt Index is building a specialist range of dumper belts for
site dumpers and articulated dump trucks used to transport soil, stone and construction materials. This collection is being developed to help owners,
engineers and parts departments identify belts by machine brand, model, OEM number and belt size.
Catalogue development in progress
Product, fitment and cross-reference data will be added as it is researched and verified.
Replacement Belts for Dumpers
Dumpers may use several different belts depending on the manufacturer,
model, engine and equipment specification. Typical applications include cooling fans, alternators, water pumps and auxiliary engine components.
The correct belt cannot always be identified by appearance alone. Belts that look similar may have
different lengths, widths, profiles, internal constructions or load ratings. Always verify the
machine model, belt location and original part number before ordering.
How to Identify the Correct Belt
1. Machine brand
Identify the equipment manufacturer.
2. Exact model
Check the full model and variant number.
3. Belt position
Confirm which component the belt drives.
4. OEM number
Use the original belt reference where available.
5. Belt markings
Record any readable codes from the old belt.
6. Belt dimensions
Check the profile, width and length.
Dumper Belts by Manufacturer
This collection is intended to include replacement belt information for manufacturers such as
Thwaites, Wacker Neuson, Mecalac, Terex, JCB, Hydrema, Volvo, Bell and Caterpillar. Availability will vary by machine, model, engine and belt application.
Belt Index is developing verified relationships between machine models, OEM references,
belt dimensions and compatible replacement belts. This will make it possible to search for a belt
using whichever information is available.

Common Types of Dumper Belt
Depending on the machine, the original belt may be a classical V-belt, cogged V-belt,
narrow-section belt, multi-rib belt, synchronous timing belt or specialist heavy-duty belt.
Construction equipment may also require aramid-reinforced belts or matched belt sets for
demanding power-transmission applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dumper belts used for?
They transfer power between engine-driven components on dumpers.
Depending on the machine, they may operate cooling fans, alternators, water pumps and auxiliary engine components.
How do I find the correct dumper belt?
Start with the machine manufacturer and exact model. Then identify the belt position
and check the original OEM number or readable belt markings. Dimensions should be used
as an additional confirmation rather than the only fitment method.
Can I replace a belt using only its measurements?
Measurements can help identify a belt, but length alone is not enough. The belt profile,
top width, depth, construction and intended application must also match the drive system.
Are all dumper belts interchangeable?
No. Two belts with similar measurements may have different profiles, strength ratings,
materials or operating characteristics. Use a verified OEM or machine fitment reference
whenever possible.
What should I do if my machine is not listed?
Use the Belt Finder or search using the machine model, OEM belt number or markings from
the original belt. Belt Index will continue expanding its construction equipment fitment data.
