Every used machine is stripped, inspected against a 142-point checklist and offered with a written condition report. Finance and warranty options available.
Anyone can land a container of machines. Keeping a fleet productive through a Highveld summer, a Karoo dust season and a 6 000-hour year is a different business, and it is the one we are actually in.
We are the authorised Shantui distributor for South Africa. Warranty is handled here, in rand, by people you can drive to. No overseas ticket queue, no "please contact the factory".
Fast-moving parts on the shelf in Jet Park, with same-day dispatch nationwide and overnight to most centres.
Average Gauteng breakdown attendance. Fully equipped field service units, 24 hours a day.
We quote owning-and-operating cost, not just a purchase price: fuel burn, undercarriage life, service intervals.
Accredited operator and technician training at our Jet Park academy, plus on-site coaching. Better operators cut fuel burn by up to 12% and undercarriage wear by more.
ShanCare fleet monitoring on every new machine: location, fuel, idle time and fault codes in one dashboard.
Structured instalment sale, rental and full maintenance lease through our banking partners.
A Level 2 contributor with a growing local supplier base, an enterprise development programme for owner-operators, and assembly-and-fitment work performed in South Africa.
Shantui has built earthmoving machinery since 1952 and ships to 170 countries. We bring that engineering base to South African ground conditions, contracts and compliance.

Rand parts holding
Every Shantui SA technician is factory-trained and re-certified annually. They arrive with the right diagnostic tooling, the right torque specs and, usually, the right part already on the vehicle.
Fixed rand-per-hour maintenance and repair, budget certainty for the whole term.
Crane-equipped vehicles with oils, filters, hoses and press tooling on board.
SANAS-accredited laboratory sampling that finds wear before it becomes a rebuild.
Accredited theory and practical, on our machines or yours, on your site.
A dozer spec that is right for a Mpumalanga coal strip is wrong for a Western Cape road contract. We start with the material, the cycle and the shift pattern, then choose the iron.
Coal, chrome, manganese, PGMs and iron ore. Overburden removal with SD32 and SD90 dozers, SE370LC and SE500LC excavators feeding rigid haulers, and SG21 graders holding haul roads to spec.
SANRAL and provincial contracts, district road rehabilitation and new township infrastructure. Grader-and-roller trains, pavers, and dozers on layer works, all supported by mobile service.
Platform cuts, dams, attenuation, industrial parks and logistics hubs. Balanced fleets sized to the programme, with rental cover for peak weeks so you are not buying for a spike.
High-abrasion applications where undercarriage and GET spend decides profitability. Rock-spec buckets, heavy-duty guarding and a measured wear programme from day one.
Formation works, ballast handling, siding construction and terminal material handling, including machines configured for on-track plant support and gantry-track civils.
Landfill dozers with trash guarding and sealed compartments, compactors for cell density, and loaders configured for silage, feedlots and bulk agricultural handling.
A straight, four-step path. No vague "solutions journey", just the sequence that gets a productive machine onto your site with support behind it.
We look at material, haul distance, gradients, shift pattern and the numbers you are contracted to hit.
Model, configuration, attachments and a full owning-and-operating cost per hour, in writing.
Pre-delivery inspection, on-site handover, operator induction and telematics activation.
Scheduled services, oil analysis, undercarriage tracking and a named account technician.
"We put three SD22 dozers on a coal strip in Mpumalanga expecting to nurse them. Eighteen months and 9 000 hours later the availability is sitting at 94% and the undercarriage came in under budget. The difference is the support. Parts arrive when they say they will."
"Our grader went down on a Friday night on the N11 rehabilitation. Their technician was on site by 06:00 Saturday with the part on the vehicle. That is not normal in this industry, and it is why we keep buying from them."
"We compared owning-and-operating cost against two established brands over a 10 000-hour horizon. Shantui SA gave us the only quote that itemised fuel burn, undercarriage and service labour honestly. Two years in, the numbers have held."
"As a plant hire business our machines are only worth what we can hire out. The SL60W loaders have been the highest-utilised units in our fleet two years running, and the operator training they ran cut our fuel bill noticeably."
"The SE210 arrived on a Tuesday and was on the trench by Wednesday morning. Commissioning was done properly, the operator induction was thorough, and the telematics gave us idle-time data we had never had before."
Six SD32 dozers and four SE500LC excavators held a 94% availability target across an 11-month coal strip.
