Vital Engineering & Angus McLeod is a diversified engineering company specialising in the manufacture of steel and fibreglass gratings, stair treads, pressed floors and safety handrails. Its product range includes bitumen-dipped, galvanised and mild steel. Other grades of materials, such as SS304, SS316, structural-grade aluminium and 3CR12, can also be manufactured.

Under the Vitagrid and Maclock brand names, the company caters for power plants, petrochemicals plants, materials handling projects, mining operations, process plants, food and beverage factories, ports, harbours, bulk materials handling stations and factories, conveyors, container cranes, ship chandlers, the fishing industry and architectural and commercial properties, as well as most facets of the civil and structural engineering industries.
Established in 1939, Vital Engineering is based in Boksburg but has offices in Cape Town and Durban also.

Vital Engineering’s serrated gratings are used extensively in many large South African and African mining, power generation and petrochemicals projects. The company’s reputation for quality and versatility has resulted in the awarding of a number of overseas serrated grating supply contracts in recent years. Among these was a 400 t export order for Chiyoda, in Saudi Arabia, and a 300 t serrated grating order for the Kap Shui Min bridge, in Hong Kong, which links Lantau Island to the new Chep Lap Kok Airport.

The company custom-designs its products to suit individual client needs, while ensuring that they comply with occupational health and safety regulations.

Vital Engineering is the only South African grating, handrail and expanded metal manufacturer to hold ISO 9001 certification for its design and manufacturing processes. The company also holds the international ENISO 9000 design rating and certification.

Vital Engineering will showcase its range of patented products in the grating, expanded metal and handrailing sectors at this year’s Electra Mining exhibition to be held in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal.
