Drive systems that keep goods moving

From refrigerated trucks to warehouse automation, the logistics sector depends on drive solutions that run continuously and protect temperature-sensitive cargo. When an industrial gearbox fails, the result isn’t just downtime. It can mean spoiled loads, missed deadlines, and reputational damage to your customers.
Engineered for resilience in demanding conditions
OEMs designing refrigerated fleets, conveyors, and automated warehouses choose to work with Brown GearTech because we understand the challenges of sub-zero temperatures, high humidity, and continuous duty cycles. That’s why our geared motors and drives are engineered for energy efficiency and rugged durability.
Whether it’s compact, high-torque drives for new vehicle platforms or conveyor gearboxes designed for 24/7 operation, we provide solutions that deliver peace of mind.
Why OEMs choose Brown GearTech
- Geared motors that operate efficiently in sub-zero and high-humidity conditions
- Drives engineered for 24/7 conveyor and logistics systems
- Bespoke co-design for next-generation refrigerated vehicle platforms

Reliability through partnership
One of our longest-running partnerships is with Gray & Adams, a leading UK manufacturer of temperature-controlled vehicles.
For over a decade, we’ve supplied them with bespoke geared motors engineered for performance in extreme environments, with vast volumes delivered each year.
Working together, we identified an opportunity to refine the geared motor system for even greater resilience in freezing conditions. By enhancing the brush box and cable exit design, we added protection against moisture build-up and ensured consistent reliability.
Since introducing these refinements, Gray & Adams has continued to place regular repeat orders, proof of how responsive engineering and collaborative partnerships deliver lasting results.
