Gearbox Types

Wallwork Replacement GearboxWallwork gearboxes were often supplied part of a larger installation by a main contractor.  As such, the Wallwork name is not always visible.

However, although the original gearbox customers are no longer in business it is sometimes a path to get back to the original gearbox, or indeed the gearbox type and year of manufacture.

Below is a list of gearbox types followed by a list of original gearbox customers.
