As the main employees at that time were Komatsu trained, we decided to concentrate on Komatsu machines, as there was no one, apart from the agents, who was dealing in that brand at that time. After building up the business over several years, selling 2nd hand and recon Komatsu parts and machines, we decided to import new parts as well. We established a good relationship with spares companies in the Far East and our stock holding grew from there.
We have stripped more than 500 machines for parts, a variety of it can be seen on our Latest Breakers page, but we are always keen to hear of any more that are for sale. Not only Komatsu, as our Durban branch deals in all types and makes of earthmoving equipment.
We have always undertaken the re-building of earthmoving machines, and have sold many over the years. We also do extensive repairs and refinishing of machines on behalf of our customers to extend machine life. Our customer base now includes companies throughout South Africa and a brought like in Angola, Kenya, Botswana, Swaziland, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Australia, Saudi-Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and the UK, but we welcome additional new customers every year.
We have embarked upon a highly successful service exchange programme, partly due to the lack of experienced mechanics and the need to avoid downtime of the customer’s machines. We carry a range of overhauled units for this purpose, i.e. engines, torque convertors, transmissions, hydraulic cylinders, axles, final drives, hydraulic pumps, motors, hydraulic valve barks, track adjusters, etc. all these units carry our standard warranty, as do our reconditioned machines.
