Many countries are highly dependent on their agricultural industries, and South Africa is one of these. Not only do we need to meet our domestic need, but we are also central to a very large export market. Most of the land has been intensively farmed for around a century and sometimes the exhaustion of nutrients in the soil after this long process can cause low yields. The country is so vast, that farms are often very large.
Timber has been a life force for a long time, and is used for a wide range of applications as fuel, building material, art, and a variety of others. As a result, the commercial value of timber is also vast, and this means that the right equipment has to be sourced in order to get the best value and efficient service from the forestry equipment and machinery that you select.
Some very prominent industry leaders in agriculture source their agricultural equipment from Kanu Equipment because we are able to provide them with outstanding machinery and the newest innovations on the market. We have worked hard at building a solid reputation in agriculture for providing a range of machinery, forestry equipment, and heavy machinery for a range of different applications.
In addition to providing a basic building material, fuel for cooking and heating, and a source of subsistence income for millions of the continent’s poor, timber also has great commercial value and so the demand for all forms of forestry equipment for sale in Africa remains high. In the past, trees were often simply harvested from wild sources with no attempt at husbandry but, today, concerns regarding the long-term sustainability of the industry have seen the introduction of more conservative methods by many companies. Nevertheless, the demand for timber remains high and so, in order to be competitive, they need to employ machinery that is both efficient and cost-effective. Continue reading
There can be few of us who have not, at some time, paused to stare in awe at some aspect of the gargantuan task of constructing one of the major highways that now criss-cross the nation to connect its nine provinces. However, only those who have actually worked on such a project are likely to have an in-depth knowledge of the many complex processes that the task entails, or of the wide variety of specialised road construction equipment that is designed to perform these processes and that is offered for sale around the country and in many other nations on the African continent.

While a vast area of the African continent is totally unsuitable for farming purposes and is likely to remain so, in practice, many of those areas in which it is possible to cultivate crops can also present some severe challenges to the farmer. The challenges in question are of two main types: Extremes of climate, and rough terrain. In many cases, farms on the continent are quite isolated from major population centres, creating difficulties if damaged farming machinery should need repair or spare parts. The result is that any agricultural equipment intended for use in Africa needs to be more durable and dependable than most in order to stand up to the tough conditions. Continue reading

While it does tend to sound rather like another example of the techno jargon with which we are bombarded on a regular basis today, the phrase “ground engaging tools” represents one of those rare instances where the words used means exactly what they say. In practice, if you have ever dug a trench in a vegetable garden with the intention of planting potatoes, then the spade, rake, and any other garden implements that you may have needed would conform precisely to this definition.

It is generally claimed that the idea of a vehicle with the ability to swivel in the middle was first conceived in Cleveland, Ohio in 1898. Here, a manufacturer of “horseless carriages” named Alexander Winton was faced with the problem of having to deliver his finished vehicles to customers in towns and cities all across the United States.
