Conveyors in East London

East London is the only river port in South Africa, with the Port of East London handling grain, vehicles, containers and bulk cargo, including a grain elevator that relies on conveyors for loading and discharge. The wider Buffalo City area includes vehicle assembly, component manufacturing, food processing, clothing and timber industries, with large industrial zones at Berlin, Dimbaza and the Sunnyridge area. Conditions are warm, humid and coastal, so corrosion, mould and spillage affect belts, steel supports and bearings. Contractors, belting stockists and fabricators in East London serve the port and plants, while heavy orders arrive from Gqeberha, Durban or Gauteng via the N2 and the N6.
