Frequently asked

What size excavator suits open-cast mining?

For loading 40-ton rigid tippers or ADTs, a 45–90 ton class excavator (CAT 349/374/390, Komatsu PC490/PC800, Hitachi ZX470/670) is the sweet spot. Quarry operations often run 30–35 ton machines with rock buckets.

Do you deal in mining-spec dozers?

Yes — CAT D9/D10/D11, Komatsu D275/D375, Bell/Liebherr crawler dozers appear regularly on the platform, mostly ex-mine with logged service histories.

Can IronYard supply full crushing & screening plants?

Yes. We list Sandvik, Metso, Terex, Powerscreen and Kleemann crushers and screens, both mobile and static — including combos for aggregate operators.

Mining and quarry equipment on IronYard

South African mining runs on a specific slice of the equipment market — big-bore excavators, high-cycle ADTs, rigid tippers, wheel loaders for stockpile work, dozers for overburden, and crushing/screening trains for aggregate and DMS. IronYard's mining feed pulls exactly those categories together so procurement teams don't have to trawl the full marketplace.

What to check before buying ex-mine

Undercarriage life is the number-one hidden cost on ex-mine crawlers.
Confirm dust filtration, ROPS/FOPS certification and fire suppression status.
Ask for the DME/DMR compliance file — it saves weeks of re-registration.
