Conveyors in Johannesburg

Johannesburg grew on the Witwatersrand gold reef, and the old mine dumps south and west of the city are being reprocessed, which keeps tailings belts and pump lines busy. The city's industrial areas, including City Deep, Selby, Booysens, Wadeville and Longmeadow, house stockholders, engineering shops, distribution centres and food processors. City Deep container depot and the nearby road and rail terminals move large volumes of freight. Flat Highveld conditions mean dry, dusty winters and sharp afternoon storms in summer. The supply base is the deepest in the country, with belt suppliers, splicing crews, pulley and idler workshops and fabricators all within a short drive, which often allows same-day callouts.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy material handling equipment in Johannesburg?

Can it be delivered to site in Johannesburg?
