Barloworld Equipment has been the southern African dealer for Caterpillar products, including earthmoving machines and power systems, since 1927 and for Hyster counterbalanced forklifts and warehousing equipment since 1929. New, used and rental equipment options, together with comprehensive maintenance and parts support, cater to the equipment procurement and management requirements of customers.

In its quest to provide customers with total solutions, Barloworld Equipment today represents and supports other complementary brands, including rotary blasthole drilling equipment from Atlas Copco, the Italian-made Bitelli range of road paving products (now owned by Caterpillar), CLAAS, Geringhoff and Massey Ferguson agricultural equipment and Perkins engines.

Barloworld Equipment offers customers the best logistics network in the industry, with its footprint extending across South Africa and its neighbours, Botswana, Swaziland, Lesotho, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Angola, Malawi and Mozambique. Barloworld Equipment is also the Cat dealer in Bulgaria and Siberia, Spain and Portugal, as well as the Republic of Sao Tome and Principe off the West African coast.

World class in-house specialised facilities, including human resources and training, parts, component and machine rebuild, and scheduled oil sampling, give Barloworld Equipment’s customers the comprehensive solutions they demand.

The company measures its success in terms of helping customers reduce their production costs specifically through individual customised equipment management packages.
