We will cover every gear box product in our range to help you make the choice for your industry and to show you why our gear boxes are the best for your needs and why gear boxes from us are the way to go for people, in the GCC region who need gear boxes for their machines.
Worm Gear Box — MI / MU Series (SITI)
What Is the SITI MI / MU Worm Gear Box?
The SITI MI / MU Worm Gear Box is really useful. A lot of people use it in the GCC. It has a kind of gear called a worm that fits into a wheel at a right angle. This makes it really good at reducing speed in a space.
The MI Series is a gear box that is made for places where space is a big problem. It is small and round so it can fit into spaces where a regular square gear box will not work. The MI Series can handle high ratios up to 8,000:1 and it can handle a lot of torque from 140 to 26,500 lb inch.
The MU Series is a square gear box that’s really flexible. It comes in types like single, double and helical-worm and it can handle the same high ratios as the MI Series, up to 8,000:1. This makes it easy to use with brands like W and NMRV type series.
Both the MI Series and the MU Series are made by SITI in Italy. They come in 12 different sizes. They are made from lightweight materials, like aluminum and cast iron so they are easy to use and do not need a lot of maintenance. They are also really quiet. The SITI MI / MU Worm Gear Box is a choice, for a lot of different jobs.
Key Technical Features
- Available in: 12 sizes (MI and MU series)
- Housing material: Cast aluminium (up to size 110), cast iron (larger sizes)
- Reduction ratios: Up to 8,000:1 (single, double, and helical-worm configurations)
- Torque range: 140–26,500 lb. inch
- Input configurations: Helical input option, double worm combinations
- Output options: Single and double output shafts, multiple output flanges per size
- Accessories: Torque arm, shaft covers
- Interchangeable with most major European brands (VF, SWO, W, NMRV type series)
- Self-locking in many ratio configurations
- Quiet, low-maintenance operation
Why Choose the MI / MU in the GCC?
The weather in the GCC is really hot. That means gear boxes need to be able to handle it. They need to have lubrication and a strong outside so they do not break. The SITI MI/MU gear boxes are made of aluminium and cast iron which helps them keep their shape even when it is hot outside. This is very important in places like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman where people often use machines outside or in areas that are not fully covered.
It is also good that the SITI MI/MU gear boxes can be used in place of brands. This is especially helpful in the GCC because a lot of machines use VF or NMRV type gearboxes. When these gearboxes break people need to replace them with the type so they do not have to redesign the whole machine. The SITI MI/MU gear boxes can do this which’s very valuable, in the GCC.
Worm Gear Box — AWG / AVF / AW Series (ATLAS)
What Is the ATLAS AWG / AVF / AW Worm Gear Box?
The ATLAS AWG / AVF / AW Worm Gear Box is a strong and flexible worm gear solution that Pokhara Motors offers. The SITI MI/MU series is great when you need something easy to switch with other parts but the ATLAS AWG/AVF/AW series is made for tough jobs that need to run all the time in difficult industrial environments in GCC.
This series uses a worm gear to turn the power at an angle, which gives us some big advantages like:
- It can reduce the speed a lot in one step. This makes things simpler and easier to fix
- It can lock itself. So when the power is off the load cannot turn the motor backwards which is really important for safety
- It runs quietly and smoothly which is great for places where noise is a problem
- It is pretty small compared to how power it can handle
The ATLAS AWG / AVF / AW Worm Gear Box series has three different types. The AWG, the AVF and the AW. Which have different ways of setting up the output shaft and mounting it. This gives engineers a lot of options to choose the setup they need for their specific job, with the ATLAS AWG / AVF / AW Worm Gear Box.
Key Technical Features
- Brand: ATLAS
- Design: Single-stage worm gear with right-angle output
- Self-locking: Yes, in applicable ratio configurations
- Operation: Quiet, smooth, reliable continuous duty
- Output configurations: AWG, AVF, AW — different shaft and flange arrangements
- Mounting: Foot mount, flange mount, shaft mount options
- Suitable for: Compact, space-constrained installations
- Efficiency: High reduction in one stage — fewer components, lower maintenance
Why Choose AWG / AVF / AW in the GCC?
In applications where a load has to stay in place when the power is turned off like a crane or a hoist or a valve actuator or a gate you cannot use a gear box. The AWG and the AVF and the AW have a feature that locks itself which makes it safe. This feature is part of the design so you do not need a separate system to stop it from moving.
This is really important in places like Saudi Arabia where they have oil and gas installations or in Qatar where they have facilities for liquefied gas or in Oman where they have mines and ports. In these places they have strict rules, about safety and if something breaks it can be very serious.
Transmittal Mixer / Truck Mixer Gear Box — 300 Series (Bonfiglioli)
What Is the Bonfiglioli 300 Series Transmittal / Truck Mixer Gear Box?
The Bonfiglioli Transmittal Mixer / Truck Mixer Gear Box (300 Series) is in a category of its own. While all the other gear boxes in our range serve general industrial applications, this product is purpose-built for one of the most demanding mechanical environments in the GCC: the concrete mixer truck.
Concrete mixer trucks and large industrial mixing plants subject their gear boxes to punishment that general industrial gear boxes are not designed to handle:
- Continuous rotation of heavy drum loads for hours at a time
- Shock loads every time the mix sloshes against the drum wall
- High ambient temperatures — especially on GCC construction sites in summer
- Dusty, abrasive environments on roads and construction sites
- Frequent starts, stops, and gear changes while maneuvering on a site
- Variable load as water is added and concrete mix changes consistency
The Bonfiglioli 300 Series is engineered specifically for all of these conditions. Bonfiglioli, founded in Italy in 1956, is one of the world’s leading power transmission manufacturers and the global benchmark for mixer truck gear boxes.
Key Technical Features
- Brand: Bonfiglioli (Italy) — world leader in mixer truck gearboxes
- Design: Purpose-built for transmittal/truck mixer drum drives
- Construction: Heavy-duty, built for continuous operation under shock loads
- Torque output: High torque for large drum rotation
- Duty cycle: Designed for continuous heavy-duty operation
- Environment rating: Suitable for dusty, high-temperature GCC job site conditions
- Applications: Concrete mixer trucks, industrial mixing plants, heavy agitators
- Reliability: Engineered to minimise downtime on active construction sites
Why the GCC Construction Boom Needs the Bonfiglioli 300
The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman are all building a lot of things right now.
1) The UAE is working on projects to improve the roads and cities in all of the emirates
2) Saudi Arabia is doing huge projects, like NEOM, the Red Sea Project and Vision 2030 that need a lot of concrete
3) Qatar is fixing up the things they built for the FIFA games and making new industrial areas
4) Oman is working on the Duqm Special Economic Zone making the Sohar Port bigger and building new roads and houses
Every time they make concrete for these projects it gets mixed up in a big truck.. Every one of these trucks needs a special part called a gear box that will not break when it is being used.
The Bonfiglioli 300 Series is the solution. It is the gear box that helps the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman build things without stopping even when it is very hard to do. The Bonfiglioli 300 Series gear box is what keeps the construction in the Gulf Cooperation Council moving it is reliable. It works all the time.
Bevel Gear Box — R Series (SITI)
What Is the SITI Bevel Gear Box R Series?
The SITI Bevel Gear Box R Series is a gear box that helps move power at an angle. It does this job smoothly and quietly. The SITI Bevel Gear Box R Series uses gears called bevel gears to change the direction of the power. These bevel gears have teeth that are shaped like cones. They usually turn the power by 90 degrees.
The SITI Bevel Gear Box R Series is different from the bevel helical gear box. The bevel helical gear box has a part that helps it handle more power.. The SITI Bevel Gear Box R Series is better for jobs that need to move power at an exact angle. It is also small. Does not cost too much. The people who made the SITI Bevel Gear Box R Series are from Italy. They are very good, at engineering. They made sure the gears fit together tightly and the surfaces are very smooth. This helps the parts that the gears spin on a long time. The SITI Bevel Gear Box R Series is a choice when you need a small gear box that can move power at an exact angle.
Key Technical Features
- Brand: SITI (Italy)
- Design: Right-angle bevel gear power transmission

Bevel Gear Box — AT Series (ATLAS)
What Is the ATLAS Bevel Gear Box AT Series?
The ATLAS Bevel Gear Box AT Series is a strong gear box that can handle big jobs. It is made by ATLAS for places that need a lot of power like factories. The AT Series is very good at sending power at an angle it is very precise and it lasts a long time. This is because it is made to work in tough places like the factories in the GCC area.
The SITI R Series bevel gear box is a gear box that can handle smaller jobs.. The ATLAS AT Series is made for big jobs where it has to handle a lot of weight and work very hard. It can handle conditions, which is exactly what the cement plants in Saudi Arabia, the mining places in Oman, the petrochemical facilities in Qatar and the big factories in the UAE need. The ATLAS Bevel Gear Box AT Series is the choice, for these kinds of jobs.

How to Choose the Right Gear Box for Your GCC Application
Choosing the wrong gear box is one of the most expensive mistakes in industrial procurement. Here is Pokhara Motors’ practical guide:
Step 1 — Define Your Output Requirements
- What output speed (RPM) does your machine need?
- What output torque (Nm or lb. inch) is required?
- Divide motor RPM by required output RPM = your gear ratio
Step 2 — Determine Shaft Orientation
- Do the motor and machine share the same axis? → Inline gear box
- Do they need to be at 90°? → Bevel or Worm gear box (R, AT, MI/MU, AWG/AVF/AW)
- Is direct shaft mounting preferred? → Shaft mounted series
Step 3 — Assess the Duty Cycle
- Continuous heavy duty → choose a gear box rated for 24/7 operation
- Intermittent light duty → standard rated gear boxes are sufficient
- High shock loads (mixer trucks, crushers) → choose Bonfiglioli 300 or ATLAS AT
Step 4 — Consider Your Environment
- GCC outdoor conditions (heat, dust) → heavy-duty cast iron housing, high IP rating
- Food/pharmaceutical (clean rooms) → aluminium housing, specific seal types
- Oil & gas / hazardous areas → explosion-proof options
Step 5 — Safety Requirements
- Does the load need to hold when power is off? → Self-locking worm gear box (MI/MU or AWG/AVF/AW)
- Is back-driving a safety risk? → Worm gear boxes only
