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 cheap used press for making bricks for one building project at home
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a used machine to make bricks on a remote site, sold on afterwards
- Housing developers and complexes: used static machines bought for a single housing phase and resold after
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: hand presses to complete used plants. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a cheap used press for making bricks for one building project at home. One local point to raise: yards on the edges of the city; sand by tipper from pits north and west of Pretoria.
