Conveyors in Durban

Durban is home to the busiest container port in Southern Africa, along with bulk terminals for grain, fertiliser, sugar, minerals and chemicals on the Bluff and the Point. The South Durban Basin and the wider metro hold refineries, chemical plants, food manufacturers, paper and packaging businesses, and large distribution centres in places like Jacobs and Prospecton. Warm, humid air and coastal salt corrode steel frames, idler shells and fasteners, so coatings, sealed bearings and stainless components are important. Summer downpours add to wet-belt problems. Durban has the country's deepest coastal supplier base outside Cape Town, with belting stockists, splicing crews and marine and industrial engineering workshops.

Frequently asked questions

What will the job cost in Durban?

It depends on the belt and conveyor, the work involved, the crew and hours on site, consumables and travel. Send the form with the belt specification and a short description of the job and a splicing contractor working in Durban will quote you.

Can a crew come out for a breakdown in Durban?

Do contractors meet mine and plant safety requirements?

Contractors who work on mines and plants are used to site inductions, medical certificates, risk assessments and lock-out procedures. List your site's requirements in the request so they can be priced and arranged in advance.
