Machines & equipment in Pretoria: local notes
Egg-laying machines are a familiar sight on open stands in Mamelodi, Soshanguve and Winterveld, where a small team can supply the street. Three phase machines and small plants suit the industrial stands in Rosslyn, Pretoria West and Waltloo. Before you buy, check the slab: Pretoria summer storms flood a flat slab with no fall. Ask a supplier about moulds for maxi bricks and blocks on one machine, and about engine driven machines for plots in Winterveld.
Building with brick in Pretoria
From Mamelodi in the east to Atteridgeville in the west and Soshanguve in the north, Pretoria's townships keep a large share of the city's bricklayers busy with extensions, double storeys and RDP houses being enlarged. The eastern side tells a different story: estates and complexes around Silver Lakes, Mooikloof and Pretoria East use face brick and plastered maxi brick for security villages and townhouses. Block yards cluster in Rosslyn, Pretoria West and Silverton, while many township stands run a small machine of their own. Winters are cold and dry with frost in the low parts of the city, and summer brings heavy afternoon storms, so bricks curing in the open need plastic sheeting and a slab with good fall.
The requests we see from Pretoria 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 Pretoria
Common here: maxi bricks and blocks for township extensions, face brick for eastern estates. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask whether the quote includes offloading, since many township streets are narrow. Where they work from: block yards in Rosslyn, Pretoria West and Silverton; small yards in the townships.
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 on the edges of the city; sand by tipper from pits north and west of Pretoria.
Service area: Pretoria and surrounds
Requests from Pretoria go to yards and suppliers that already deliver to Centurion, Hatfield, Waterkloof, Montana, Silver Lakes, Mooikloof, Akasia and the rest of the area. Mention a narrow street, a steep site or an estate with delivery hours, because they change the price.
