Gates 9480 Accessory Drive Belt

Gates 9480 High Capacity V-Belt Overview

The Gates 9480 is a High Capacity V-Belt (Standard) built for accessory drive systems that see demanding engine loads. It uses a notched construction and EPDM belt material to help maintain grip as temperatures rise, while the polyester cord supports stable operation and reduced noise.

For Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Pickup, and Toyota T100 applications, this belt is a direct replacement for power steering and fan/power steering drive setups where consistent belt tension and quiet operation matter.

Product Line Details

Gates High Capacity V-Belt (Standard) products are built for engine accessory drives that need dependable belt tracking under thermal load. The variable notched profile is used to improve pulley engagement as the belt warms up, which helps reduce slippage and belt noise in everyday driving and higher-demand service conditions.

This part cross-references Bando 2245 and Continental 13X1225 for the same application.
