LONG-LIFE BELTS MOVE HEAVY LOADS

When a competitor’s belts failed after only nine monthsservice in a large postal distribution center, Dura-Belt's

Long-Life HT belts replaced them. ;;;;;;;;;;

later, HT belts are still going strong -- moving your mail onconveyors that run 24 hours;day, 7 days;week.

Even though some postal tubs have soft bottoms and carryover-weight loads, HT belts take the punishment and keepthe mail moving. Over 20 million are in service on pow-ered-roller conveyor systems. For longer-life and heavierloads, try time-tested HT (high tension) O-ring belts -- theonly ones colored "Post Office Blue".
