Why is it necessary for sport centers to upgrade the treadmill belt?

Treadmills are the most frequently used equipment in the sport center. Due to  long daily usage, frequent maintenance is required. The increasing the workload for trainers, rising operational costs, and member safety become the main concern. Therefore, choosing a maintenance-free treadmill belt is not only a key to improving operational efficiency but also an effective way to reduce the cost of maintenance, repair, and replacement.
 


Background: Equipment Challenges at Nantun Sport Center

Nantun Sport Center operates 16 hours a day, and its treadmills are in near-constant use. According to Mr. Wang, the facility previously faced several issues when using traditonal treadmill belts from other brands.
  1. Lubricant had to be applied every 2~3 months, increasing both maintenance cost and trainer workload.
  2. Issues of slippage and belt misalignment were reported after use.
  3. Inadequate maintenance ofter led to customer complaints and safety concerns.

To address the issues mentioned above, Nantun Sport Center decided to implement our maintenance-free treadmill belts, which offer the following key features:
  • No lubrication required, saving manpower and reducing maintenance time.
