Our range includes fertilizer spreaders, Bin on the Ground trailers, orchard platforms and booms, onion harvesters, pruning towers and more.

Precision farming

Every kilogram where it counts

Our precision agriculture range includes the Smart VRA Spreader, Auger Spreader, Lime Spreader and Spray Controller. Designed to improve application accuracy and efficiency, these technologies enable variable-rate application, helping growers apply the right amount of product where it is needed.

Our conversion kits bring greater control and precision to existing spreaders, offering a practical way to upgrade your equipment.

Imported equipment

The best of Europe, where it fits

When specialised European machinery offers the right solution for the job, we bring it to South Africa and support it locally. Our imported range includes sprayers from Manéz Lozano, orchard equipment from Mitterer and agricultural machinery from Olmi. We also supply orchard reflective materials and steel vineyard poles, providing commercial growers with access to quality products from trusted international manufacturers, backed by local expertise and support.
