SPH Kundalila  (0.05 MB)

Company Announcement - With 45 years’ experience in the general plant hire industry, SPH Kundalila is perfectly positioned to offer industry access to its extensive fleet of equipment. Established as Saldanha Plant Hire in the Western Cape in the late 1960’s SPH Kundalila has amassed a wealth of knowledge and grown its fleet to over 320 items of plant to cater to the ongoing demands by industry. SPH Kundalila has a vast geographic base and specialises in materials handling, crushing and screening, loading and hauling, rehabilitation and other turnkey solutions. The company has concentrated its efforts on the mining industry and has proved its mettle in the demanding and harsh environments encountered in the market sector.

“As a natural evolution and as a result of the demand from our existing customer base and new customers, we have extrapolated this experience, expertise and capacity to other market sectors,” Graeme Campbell, group commercial and operations manager, says.

In addition to 60 articulated dump trucks, 40 mobile screens, five mobile jaw crushers two mobile cone crushers, 20 excavators, 10 graders and 20 tipper trucks, the company is the largest owner of Cat 950H front end loaders in the southern Hemisphere. All equipment is maintained to the highest standards by means of on-site workshops staffed by highly skilled technical personnel. Campbell points out that the company enjoys the benefit of priority support from a number of major OEMs. “This stands us in good stead when we require components or when we need fast turnaround on our equipment. This benefit is then passed on to the client who is assured of minimised downtime and maximised productivity.” He stresses the fact that the company focuses on acquiring an understanding of the customer’s specific application and being able to supply the most appropriate items of plant so that that they are capable of achieving the desired outcome in a reliable, timeous and quality-centred manner.

“Reliability in fact should be perceived as an inscrutable reflection of quality equipment that has been maintained according to stringent OEM standards. By taking a hard-line approach with regard to the sourced quality of our equipment and ensuring that preventative maintenance and regular, scheduled servicing forms part of the service level agreement we have with our clients, we are able to enhance worksite productivity,” Campbell emphasises.

All operators are in fact trained to perform daily preventive maintenance tasks, which drastically reduces the normal downtime associated with taking an item out of service for offsite maintenance to be performed. An emphasis on maintaining equipment according to OEM specifications provides the assurance of optimum reliability and performance. This not only benefits the client in terms of timeous completion of tasks, but also extends the longevity of each piece of equipment.

The company has operational offices in Gauteng and outlets close to its customers’ operations across the country, with the exception of KwaZulu-Natal. “We are able to leverage the skills, expertise and experience built up whilst operating our fleet for so many years. The comprehensive nature of the fleet means that we are able to tackle infrastructure projects, roads and earthworks contracts, and general construction projects,” Campbell concludes.
