There are conventional treadmills and then there are WOODWAY Slat Belt Treadmills.
Slat Belt Treadmills by WOODWAY USA feature an original, internationally-patented design that was developed in
response to conventional treadmill designs. Our engineers set out to develop a safe and comfortable running surface that
also reduces the friction and wear associated with the conventional conveyor belt design. To achieve this, they started with
a ball-bearing transportation system and proceeded to create an entirely new slat-based running surface.
WOODWAY Slat Belt Treadmills provide a running surface of 38-43 type A shore hardness which was found by the
Deutsche Sporthochschule in Cologne, Germany to be the ideal “softness” to eliminate the harmful shock to connective
tissue while not changing proper biomechanics. Additionally, the low friction ball bearing transportation system alleviates
the force on all mechanical and electrical parts, resulting in less wear, less maintenance, fewer repairs, lower electric bills
and an overall longer treadmill life.
Shock Reducing Slat Belt Running Surface
Comprised of numerous individual shock-absorbing slats that
have been scientifically proven to reduce harmful shock to joints,
muscles and connective tissue. The running surface can absorb up
to 200,000 miles of usage without a single belt change.

Low Friction Ball Bearing Transportation System
Two bearing rails allow the running surface to glide nearly
eliminating friction and the resulting wear, which leads to
significant electrical savings.

No-Slip Toothed
Drive-Wheels & Belt
The toothed belt and drive
combined with numerous guide
rollers assure the belt will not
stretch or slip. No need to adjust
or tension the belt.
