Questions we get asked

Straight answers

Buying, parts, the workshop and finding us. If your question is not here, ask us and the person who knows will answer.

Buying a machine or truck

Do you keep machines and trucks in stock in Swakopmund?

No. Every machine and truck is ordered to your specification and delivered from South Africa, and you get the lead time with the quote so you know it before you commit. What we do hold here is parts, and the workshop and mechanics that keep the machine running once it lands.

Which brands do you supply?

We are an appointed dealer for Shantui earthmoving equipment and Foton trucks. Hyundai earthmoving equipment is supplied to order, and Powerstar trucks run through our Powerstar Swakopmund site at the same address.

How do I get a quote?

Tell us the job: the material, the ground, the payload and the hours you expect to run. Use the enquiry form or phone sales on +264 83 707 4240 or +264 81 404 7930. We quote the unit and the lead time together, in one document.

How long does delivery take?

It depends on the machine and the specification, so we give you the lead time up front with the quote rather than a guess. Once the unit is ordered we keep you posted on where it is, so you are not left to chase.

Will you help me choose the right machine?

Yes. We work out what the ground and the payload actually need before quoting. Often that means talking you out of a bigger machine than the work requires.

Parts and the workshop

Which parts do you hold?

Service consumables (filters, lubricants, belts and hoses), undercarriage and wear parts (chains, rollers, idlers, sprockets, ground engaging tools and teeth), and driveline and hydraulic parts. Anything not on the shelf is ordered the same day you ask.

What should I have ready when I order a part?

The machine or truck model and the serial number. It is the fastest way to get the right part first time. The parts and service desk is on +264 85 654 9114.

Do you service all four ranges?

Yes. Shantui, Hyundai, Foton and Powerstar are serviced on the same floor by the same mechanics, who are on our own payroll and work on these ranges every week.

Can you come out to site?

Yes. Field service goes out to site when a machine cannot be moved, including breakdown attendance across the region and scheduled servicing at your yard.

Visiting and contact

Where are you and when are you open?

Newton Street No. 3, Swakopmund, Namibia. Monday to Friday, 07:30 to 16:30. Sales, the parts counter and the workshop are all in the same building.

Who will I be dealing with?
