- Low maintenance → once installed, shouldn't need tensioning, no lubrication required
- Light
| - Precise machining required to position the belts properly so that they don't loosen over time
- Harder to install and uninstall → require accessible openings that's the entire length of the belt
- Typically rely on pulleys that are larger in diameter to sprockets
- Fixed lengths of belt
- More likely to skip while slip when carrying heavy loads Fixed lengths of beltand due to vibration, thus reducing its efficiency
