Strong and Reliable Bell Loggers stand the Test of Time

The lumberjack has long been a figure that most of us tend to associate with strength and endurance and, in light of the challenging and dangerous nature of the job that these skilled workers undertake; this is an image that is well justified. However, although the men who undertake this task certainly need to be tough, the vehicles and the machinery upon which they must depend, every working day, are required to be even tougher.  Continue reading →

The CAT Range of Ground Engaging Tools Provides Added Versatility

If asked, almost anyone who is blessed with reasonable eyesight, a halfway-good memory and whose interests extend beyond designer footwear, will almost certainly associate a mention of the CAT brand name with some form of heavy lifting, digging, or specialised transportation equipment, even if only as a result of its unmistakable bright yellow paint job. On the other hand, if one were to include the term GET in the same sentence, it would probably be mistaken for an invitation to purchase one of the above items. Continue reading →

The Vital Role Played by Suppliers of CAT Aftermarket Spares

Whether they are intended for use in heavy-duty CAT equipment or luxury automobiles, the spares manufactured, distributed, and retailed via the aftermarket are vital to ensure that these and many similar forms of mechanical equipment remain operational. When first delivered from the factory, each component of these products will have been the work of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and has been engineered to a precise set of specifications and within the prescribed tolerances that are compatible with the overall structural integrity, purpose, and expected performance of the completed assembly.

Is it Best to Rely on OEM or Aftermarket Spares?

The main reason that, for instance, many car owners in South Africa will choose to buy parts that were not made by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), is that the latter are often seen as disproportionately expensive when compared to the generic products available from other sources. In some instances, especially in light of the increased price of imported items resulting from the depreciating local currency, this practice can serve as a valid means to economise. However, if the cost of holding on to a few extra rand turns out to be a product that fails to perform as it should, then the need for more frequent replacement is likely to result in an overall loss rather than a saving.

The Many Faces of Caterpillar, and Keeping up with Spares

Originally, the name given to the larval stage in the lifecycle of butterflies and moths; an agile insect form with the ability to negotiate any type of terrain with ease and even to climb the vertical trunks of trees, to some people, the name Caterpillar conjures a rather different image. Powerful, often huge, machines characterised by their yellow livery and their capacity to deal with every challenge that comes their way have, together with their essential spares, become the workhorses of numerous industries throughout the world.

Bell Cone Crushers – How they work and some common Applications

Why South Africans rely on these tough Bell Haulage Tractors

In addition to diamonds and precious metals, among the more important resources that form a part of South Africa’s export trade are sugar and timber. The tendency is for the bulk of these commodities to be grown in relatively remote rural areas. Therefore, the vehicles used to transport them over distances that can amount to several hundred kilometres to where they will be processed, can be as crucial as the equipment used for handling them in the cane fields and forests where they are harvested.
