SANY

As Africa forges ahead to become a global force in sustainable development, SANY Southern Africa has made a giant leap towards zero-emission trucking with the establishment of its commercial vehicle division, focusing on electric vehicle (EV) technology. On March 28, 2025, the company deployed the first-ever fully electric truck with battery-swapping technology in a super link side-tipping application in South Africa, marking a new era in mining logistics.

Having established itself as a major player in the yellow metal equipment space, SANY Southern Africa has entered into new territory with the launch of its first ever mobile crushers. Marodew Plant and Services took delivery of the first unit in Africa, a SANY SCIM1213RC6 impact crusher, which has thus far proven its mettle in coal and chrome applications. Quarrying Africa recently visited a chrome mine in Limpopo, South Africa, where the machine is making light work of the abrasive ore. By Munesu Shoko.

Following the official launch of its SAT40C, SANY Southern Africa is the latest entrant into the highly contested local articulated dump truck (ADT) market. With the arrival of the 41-t machine – the last piece of SANY’s mining puzzle – the company believes it has both the product and the competitive edge to challenge for a sizeable share of the market.
