Agricultural Handling, Bin Tipping & Plant Equipment

Agriculture works to a season, not a schedule. The handling equipment either keeps up during the harvest window or it costs the crop — which is why this hub is built around bins, bales and bulk.

The head office sits in Nelspruit, in the middle of Mpumalanga’s citrus, macadamia, banana and cane country, so most of this range was specified against work happening a few kilometres away. Bin tippers for orchard and packhouse decanting, bale clamps for cotton and hay, pushers for bagged fertiliser and seed, and hinged carriages for grain and feed.

What separates agricultural handling from warehouse handling is variability. Bin heights differ between growers, bales differ between balers, and the same forklift that decants fruit in March is loading fertiliser in August. Bin tippers adjust for bin height manually rather than assuming a standard bin, and mechanical attachments cover the jobs that come up a few times a season without needing hydraulics plumbed for them.

Feeler plant sits alongside it — loaders, backhoes and transfer trailers for the yard and the land, plus fertilizer spreading equipment, available on rental where the requirement follows the season rather than the balance sheet.

Where we supply it from

Served from Nelspruit across Mpumalanga, Limpopo and the Lowveld, and from Kitwe into the Zambian farming blocks around the Copperbelt.

01What this sector brings us

The recurring problems

01

Mixed bin fleets in one packhouse

Manually adjustable top stops on the bin tipper cover a range of bin heights, so a mixed fleet does not have to be standardised before the season starts.

02

Pallets disappearing down the supply chain

Pushers and slip-sheet handling take pallets out of bagged and baled flows entirely, and pallet inverters recover the ones that come back damaged.

03

Seasonal peaks against year-round ownership

Attachments and Feeler plant are both available on long-term rental, which matches the cost to the harvest window instead of to the full twelve months.
