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.
Pretoria: the building, the weather and the yards
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: making pavers for your own driveway, patio or garden paths over a few weekends
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: pavers made alongside bricks to finish driveways and walkways on house jobs
- Housing developers and complexes: a pressing machine supplying pavers for estate roads, parking and walkways

The requests that come up most: maxi bricks and blocks for township extensions, face brick for eastern estates. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the quote includes offloading, since many township streets are narrow.
