Conveyors in Newcastle

Newcastle is the main industrial town in northern KwaZulu-Natal, on the N11 and the main rail line to Gauteng. It lies in the Northern Natal coalfields, where collieries around Newcastle, Dundee and Utrecht produce thermal coal and anthracite. Steelmaking, chemical and textile plants add steady demand for belting and idlers, together with foundries and fabricators. Coal handling brings heavy abrasive loads, dust and fire risk, and nights can be cold with frost in winter and fierce hail storms in summer. Newcastle has established engineering workshops and belting suppliers, supported by Ladysmith and Richards Bay, while larger shutdown work often brings in teams from Gauteng and Mpumalanga.
