How do we list surplus crusher spares?
Start by sending the part details through our enquiry form on the contact page. Include the part name, machine type, quantities, photos if you have them, and whether the spares are new, used or removed from service. The more detail you send, the quicker we can match the item to a buyer or exchange request.
Once we receive the enquiry, our team checks the information and confirms the next step. If the parts are in Middelburg, eMalahleni, Rustenburg or one of our other service areas, we can usually arrange an inspection or collection plan without delay.
- List the part type and quantity
- Add clear photos from different angles
- Note any wear, cracks, missing bolts or repairs
- Tell us if the item is for sale, exchange or consignment
What happens during inspection and condition reporting?
Our inspection process is practical and site based. Sibusiso Ndlovu oversees the inspection schedule and checks for visible wear, fitment concerns and any signs that the part should go to scrap instead of exchange. This helps avoid wasted transport and keeps the listing accurate from the start.
Condition reporting matters when spares are stored for a few months, moved between yards, or handled during shutdowns. In dusty quarry areas or coastal humidity, surface condition can change quickly, so we record what we see at the time of inspection. That gives both sides a clearer picture before any exchange or sale is approved.
- Visual check for wear and damage
- Fitment review against the requested equipment type
- Condition notes for the listing record
- Decision on exchange, sale or scrap
How is pricing handled on exchange stock?
Pricing depends on condition, demand and whether the item is a direct exchange, a consignment sale or a cash sale. Anika van Zyl handles sales and exchange matching, so the pricing discussion stays tied to real market demand rather than guesswork. If a part is in short supply during a shutdown or a plant stoppage, that can affect value.
We keep the process practical. If a spare is clearly reusable, it may be suitable for exchange. If it is heavily worn but still has material value, it may be better treated as scrap. We will explain the difference and help you decide which route makes sense for your site and budget.
- Condition affects value
- Urgent demand can change pricing
- Exchange stock may reduce cash spend
- Scrap is separated from usable inventory
Can you store parts before collection or resale?
Yes. We offer yard storage at our Middelburg base and can keep parts in a controlled, organised space until they are collected or matched to a buyer. Johan Steenkamp manages yard and storage control, so items are tracked and stacked in a way that reduces damage during handling. Palletising and packing are available where needed.
This is useful when a quarry has limited room, a mine is closing down a bay for maintenance, or collections need to be staggered around shift changes and load-shedding windows. If a part is heavy or awkward, we will discuss the safest way to move it before it is loaded.
- Short term and longer storage options
- Palletising for safer handling
- Clear stock identification on arrival
- Storage for parts awaiting sale or collection
How do collections and delivery work across South Africa?
Mpho Rakoma coordinates logistics for local collections and nationwide delivery. We move surplus crusher spares between quarries and mines across South Africa, including eMalahleni, Rustenburg, Polokwane, Kathu and Pietermaritzburg. For urgent shutdown work, we try to keep the route simple so the part gets to site with less handling and less delay.
Before dispatch, we confirm what is being moved, how it should be packed, and whether fitment checks are needed on arrival. If the spare is going to a site with access limits, municipal gate rules or restricted delivery times, please mention that early. It saves time at the gate and prevents missed drop offs.
- Local collections from approved areas
- Nationwide delivery arranged to site
- Packing to suit the part and route
- Delivery timing aligned with shutdowns
What should I send before asking for an urgent spares search?
For an urgent search, send the machine model, the part reference if you have it, the plant location, and the deadline. Include whether the item must be new, used, repaired or exchangeable. This helps us narrow the search quickly and avoid sending the wrong component to a time sensitive job.
Nokuthula Dlamini handles client support and will keep the enquiry moving through the right people. If the part must fit a specific crusher, screen or feed system, mention that too. A few extra details at the start can save a full shift later.
- Machine model and part reference
- Site location and deadline
- Required condition of the spare
- Any fitment notes or special handling needs
