        When your Gomaco equipment is on the job, downtime is not an option. Worn belts, deteriorated skirtboard, and ineffective flashing can compromise material flow, reduce paving accuracy, and increase maintenance costs. High-quality replacement components are essential to keep concrete and road equipment operating at peak efficiency.

        The Challenge: Belt Wear, Material Spillage & Conveyor Inefficiency

        Gomaco placers and RTP500 equipment rely on consistent conveyor performance to move material efficiently. Over time, belts experience:

        • Abrasion from aggregate and concrete
        • Ply separation and edge wear
        • Stretching that impacts tracking
        • Material leakage from worn skirtboard or flashing

        Inadequate sealing systems increase cleanup time, reduce material control, and accelerate component wear. Selecting the right belt construction and rubber durometer is critical for durability and containment.

        The Solution: National Hose Gomaco Replacement Belts & Sealing Systems

        National Hose provides pre-made and custom replacement belts for Gomaco road equipment, along with industrial-grade skirtboard and flashing products engineered for demanding applications.

        Replacement Belts for Road Equipment

        National Hose stocks pre-made belts for:

        • 9500 Placer
        • RTP500

        Common stock sizes include:

        • 36” x 72’ 2” – 3 Ply
        • 36” x 36’ 6” – 3 Ply
        • 36” x 34’ 3.5” – 3 Ply
        • 36” x 30’ 6” – 3 Ply

        Custom fabrication available up to 60” width and any required length

        These 3-ply belts provide strength, flexibility, and abrasion resistance for concrete and aggregate transfer in road construction environments.

        Skirtboard & Flashing Options

        National Hose supplies:

        Skirtboard:

        • ¼” to 1” thick
        • 4” to 12” wide
        • 70 durometer rubber

        Flashing:

        • ½” thick
        • 6” to 12” wide
        • Natural rubber – 45 durometer

        Proper durometer selection ensures:

        • Effective sealing
        • Reduced spillage
        • Extended belt life
        • Improved material containment
