A supplier quotes better when they know what the machine must make, how it will be powered and how many you want a day. Send one request with the details and we pass it to brick machine suppliers who deliver to towns and cities across Gauteng.

Looking for brick making machines in Gauteng?

What to know locally in Gauteng
Many small yards in Orange Farm, Ivory Park and Ga-Rankuwa started with one egg-laying machine on a home slab and a single phase vibrator. Machine sellers and mould makers work from the industrial areas of Germiston, Benoni, Wadeville and Rosslyn, and most keep moulds for maxis, blocks and pavers. Electric machines suit sites with power, but keep a petrol or diesel option in mind for plots on the edge of Hammanskraal or Bronkhorstspruit.
Gauteng: the building, the weather and the yards
Johannesburg started out with a brickfields of its own, and the province has never stopped building. Today the demand is spread across township extensions in Soshanguve, Tembisa and Diepsloot, back rooms and boundary walls in Soweto and Mamelodi, estates and complexes in Midrand, Centurion and Lanseria, and factories from Germiston to Rosslyn. Cement brick and block yards sit on the edge of nearly every township, many of them small businesses running an egg-laying machine on a home slab, while clay brickyards and machine sellers work from the industrial belts. Sand comes in by tipper from pits south and west of the metros. Highveld frost in winter and violent summer storms are the two things to cover fresh bricks against.
The requests we see from Gauteng usually come from:
- Homeowners: a small machine to make your own bricks for a house, outbuilding or boundary wall
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: making cement bricks on site for a job instead of trucking pallets in
- Housing developers and complexes: a static or hydraulic machine supplying bricks across a housing project or township extension
Local tips for Gauteng
Common here: cement maxi bricks for back rooms, face brick for estates, brick machines for startups. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask whether the price is at the yard or delivered, and who offloads the pallets. Where they work from: block yards in every township; clay yards and machine sellers in the industrial belts.
Requests range widely: manual egg-layers to hydraulic static presses. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a small machine to make your own bricks for a house, outbuilding or boundary wall. One local point to raise: yards deliver by flatbed and crane truck; sand by tipper from pits outside the metros.
