We buy a wide variety of used earthmoving equipment worldwide, but only once we’ve completed a detailed costing in which we determine the purchase price of each unit.

On arrival, all machines are cleaned with a high pressure washing plant. We then shotblast the machines before giving them a fresh coat of primer paint.

The next step is to do a full inspection of all machines, as well as an extensive evaluation to determine whether units are to be stripped down for parts usage or refurbished.

REFURBISH

The machines are refurbished in our workshops by highly qualified technicians, to the highest standards. These workshops have previously been cited by Caterpillar representatives as “one of the best refurbishing facilities in the world.

ENGINE DYNO-TESTING FACILITY

PLANT

Our Engine Rebuild Centre is world-class. It is equipped with a modern Engine Dyno-Testing bench, which takes engines up to 650kW in size.

TEST AT SITE

PLANT

After completing the refurbishing process, all machines are tested for up to 50 hours at a test site to ensure that all components are in perfect working order. No piece of equipment, part or component leaves our site without being subject to this stringent on-site testing. We pride ourselves on our rigorous 200-point BLC quality check.

Step 11

PAINT

PLANT

Once we are satisfied that the machines are in 100% working condition, we again apply a high pressure wash to the units, and paint them according to their original specifications. At this point, we also fit new decals. New tyres are fitted to wheeled machines and new undercarriages to track machines.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS BY OEM-TA

PLANT

All machines have a technical analysis done by the original supplier. These reports are made available to the purchaser.
