Scott's Profile:
SEW-Eurodrive’s brand advocate since 1991, Scott manages and directs the Maintenance, Repairs, and Overhaul (MRO) department and spearheads new business development initiatives in the MRO space. Equipped with decades of mechatronic experience in almost all facets of SEW-Eurodrive, Scott identifies his sales style as somewhat “Old school.” In nature. He lives by the philosophy of “Go there and be there!” An approach to business development that has proven to build trust amongst his clients and one that he instills in his team.
“If you’re providing a product and service that is the engine of an entire process, you have no choice but to go there and recognize our solutions’ importance, become well versed in their production operations, and most importantly, build and nurture a rapport with the client. I believe you can only appreciate the scope of what’s involved by meeting onsite and face-to-face.”
“Whether it’s a SEW-Eurodrive solution or not, this business is about providing value-added service regardless of what product brand is driving the application. We continually strive to improve and have fought hard to build a reputation as problem solvers, and it needs to be enforced by being top of mind when there’s an issue and the go-to guys for enhanced system solutions.”
To further support SEW-Eurodrive’s value-added propositions, Scott and his MRO solutions team launched a series of lunch and learn-initiatives. The meetings aim to educate and inform existing and prospective distribution partners about SEW’s comprehensive solutions portfolio while allowing participants to ask questions in a casual and interactive setting.
“If you are interested in discovering how SEW-Eurodrive can become an integral part of your business, please do not hesitate to contact me directly! We have the solution, the support, and the genuine desire to succeed together!”

Rail Yard Wake Boarding Park
taking the plunge
Traditionally, wakeboarding whizzes us across open water behind a high-powered motorboat using nothing more than a scaled-down surfboard, a tether and nerves of steel. The same rules apply at Rail Yard Wake Park in Mount Albert, ON, but with one little exception: no high-powered motorboat!
Talk about rapid response
Founders Ian Bowie (left) Ross Benns (second from left) and Christine Benns (second from right) changed their love of water sports into an innovative and exciting business. “The idea of enjoying wake boarding without the environmental implications of using a speed boat really intrigued us—we just needed to find the right venue and the right application to do it.” After years of scouting the GTA for an ideal spot and hurdling through power supply and government regulations, Rail Yard Wake Park opened for business in 2013.
“We wanted to capture the true feeling of traditional Wake Boarding and open it up to the public. You can literally show up here with a set of swim trunks and everything else is taken care of.” Capturing the true feeling of Wake Boarding required a drive system that was robust enough to handle a solid 12-15 hours of uninterrupted use, along with integrated electronics for ultra-precise speed control and wireless capability.
The zip line application was designed and built by Germany based Sesitec and came equipped with SEW drives and electronics. However, operations managers Ross and Ian knew that any downtime would result in disappointed customers. “ We wouldn’t want to see the look on the faces of our guests if one of our two lines went down. An average ride is 7-10 minutes, so we need to be sure any problems can be addressed quickly. Sesitec has a great reputation for expedited delivery of critical components, but we needed a service protocol in place specifically for the drive system.”
After a quick chat with a colleague, Ross discovered that SEW-Eurodrive has several Canadian offices that could replace or repair the drives and electronics 24/7/365. “We got on the phone immediately, and talk about rapid response, Scott Gallop called us back right away—then he showed up to our park the following week. Scott told us exactly what we wanted to hear, and based on his responsiveness, we knew he meant what he said.”
“We really appreciated Scott’s level of interest in what we do and we didn’t even buy anything! This just shows you what type of company Eurodrive really is—they care. When the time comes for servicing our drive system, we will definitely make it SEW.
techinical set up
The drive system is paired with an SEW Movitrac® MCO7 for ultimate control. The speed of the zip line is controlled using a wireless remote, this allows the operator to visually see the rider and adjust the speed based on skill level.

Gear Motors Exciting Yet? Ummm maybe a little.
EFFICIENCY PILOT PROJECT GETS THE GREEN LIGHT. RESULTS SHOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION DOWN 43%.
Newly appointed T3 Systems manager Sham Singh shares his predecessor’s view of gear motors: “Gear motors are not overly exciting – but if you are referring to the highly efficient MOVIGEAR®/DRC, I’m not going to lie, it did pique my interest.
RESULTS SHOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION DOWN 43%.
Newly appointed T3 Systems manager Sham Singh shares his predecessor’s view of gear motors: “Gear motors are not overly exciting – but if you are referring to the highly efficient MOVIGEAR®/DRC, I’m not going to lie, it did pique my interest. Our line moves 20,000 pieces of baggage across 8 kilometres of conveyor every day; reliability is essential and just as important as our environmental sustainability goals. The MOVIGEAR®/DRC offer the performance and efficiency we are looking for.
“The SEW-EURODRIVE SWAPP (Strengths, Weaknesses, Applications, Product & Post-sales) crew offered us the opportunity to pilot the products available in their EffiDrive® family line-up, specifically the MOVIGEAR®. The SWAPP crew suggested retrofitting (SWAPPing) just one of our conveyor lines to prove it would be well worth the time and investment.
“We carefully monitored both the performance and the energy consumption of the SWAPPed out drives, and based on the 43% energy savings, and their flawless functionality, we opted to implement the IE4 technology into our new baggage system.
“The SWAPP program opened our eyes to the many possibilities available to combine performance and efficiency, an important initiative for Toronto Pearson’s sustainability goals, and one we take very seriously. This solution is perfect because SEW-Eurodrive’s products are designed to seamlessly integrate into our OEM plans, all while giving us the performance, reliability and the high efficiency we need. Yes, we made it SEW again.

TORONTO PEARSON’S ENERGY EFFICIENCY REPORT
“I have had a meter on the drives to measure power consumption. A SA57 drive on an identical belt uses 1.5amp/phase while running, the three MoviGear drives use a combined 1.2 amp/phase (including step down transformer) while running. As you can see below the three MoviGear drives are using significantly less power over the 24 hour test period.”

Gear Motors Exiting? NOPE
Moving 20,000 pieces of baggage a day without a hiccup? NOW THAT’S EXCITING!
“I’d be lying if I said chatting about gear motors is the most exciting topic of conversation, the reality is, it just isn’t. What’s exciting to me is the fact that we seldom need to discuss them. Why? They just work!
Moving 20,000 pieces of baggage across 8 kilometres of conveyor (over 76 football fields) is not an easy task. We need to prevent problems before they occur; forward thinking is what keeps us efficient and productive. SEW offers us the products and level of service required to make it happen”.
