Northern Cape notes on machines & equipment
Small yards in Kuruman, Calvinia and Springbok often run a manual or egg-laying machine because hauling bricks in costs too much. Machine sellers in Kimberley and Upington stock moulds and mixers, and others send machines from Gauteng or the Cape by road. Engine driven machines suit farms without power, and a shaded curing area with plenty of water is a must in the Kalahari heat.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Northern Cape
Distance is part of the price of every brick in the Northern Cape. Kimberley and Upington have the bigger yards, but a farmhouse near Carnarvon or a school extension in Pofadder may be hundreds of kilometres from the nearest pallet, so many towns make their own cement bricks locally with a small machine and Orange River or pit sand. Mining towns such as Kathu, Postmasburg and Kuruman add rented housing and new extensions, and the Karoo towns of De Aar and Colesberg build farm sheds, dams and kraals. Kimberley's older suburbs still have red face brick to match. Fierce sun and dry wind crack fresh bricks, and the Karoo gets hard winter frost.
Who asks for second hand brick machines around Northern Cape, most often first:
- Farms and smallholdings: a used engine or manual machine for farm buildings far from power
- Homeowners: a cheap used press for making bricks for one building project at home
- New brick-making businesses: a used egg-layer as a low-cost first machine, checked before buying
Local tips for Northern Cape
Yards and suppliers serving Northern Cape mostly work from here: yards in Kimberley, Upington and Kathu; small local yards in most towns. The requests that come up most: locally made cement bricks, farm shed blocks, housing in the mining towns. When you ask for quotes, ask for a full load price delivered to the farm, not a per pallet price at the yard.
