Ladysmith notes on machines & equipment
A manual or engine driven egg-laying machine suits farms and rural plots around Ladysmith with no power, while yards in Ezakheni with electricity often go for an electric machine and a mixer. Winter frost is the danger to fresh blocks, so make early, cover the slab and keep it damp. Ask the supplier which moulds come with the machine and whether spares are kept in KwaZulu-Natal.
Ladysmith: the building, the weather and the yards
Below the Drakensberg foothills, Ladysmith builds a lot with cement blocks. Ezakheni and Steadville keep growing with new houses, rooms and boundary walls, farms in the Klip River district need sheds, stores and staff housing, and older homes in town are often face brick. Summers are hot with heavy afternoon storms, and winters bring sharp frost, so bricks made on an open slab need cover in both seasons. Water and good sand are worth planning for on rural plots. Block yards and hardware stores in town and the industrial area supply most jobs, small yards in the townships make blocks for neighbours, and machines usually come up the N3.
Who asks for second hand brick machines around Ladysmith, most often first:
- Homeowners: a cheap used press for making bricks for one building project at home
- Farms and smallholdings: a used engine or manual machine for farm buildings far from power
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a used machine to make bricks on a remote site, sold on afterwards
