MacLean Africa

MacLean covers the Sub-Saharan African & Middle East region through its presence as a premier underground mining equipment manufacturer in South Africa. There are two MacLean facilities in South Africa (RSA) strategically placed to support the local and international customers. The combined area between these two facilities adds to 45,000 sq. ft. of office, warehouse, and fully equipped workshops. These facilities support in-country capital equipment assembly, major component repairs/rebuilds through a team of trained technical support engineers and carry a large inventory of spare parts to support the mining industry.

MacLean Service and Support Expansion in Africa

MacLean is successfully expanding its underground mining fleet presence beyond our home base in South Africa, with active growth in key mining hubs across Southern, Eastern, Central, and West Africa.

Testimonials
“We’re excited to have taken this first step toward electrifying our entire C-Zone production fleet. In addition to the speed improvements tramming uphill, this BEV Boom Truck helps us reduce GHG emissions and health and safety hazards related to the exhaust produced by this unit’s diesel counterpart.”

Mine Manager, New Afton
ā€œI have been working with MacLean mobile mining equipment on the ancillary side for more than seven years now. Currently using the equipment in the DRC at the Barrick Kibali Gold Mine. The good thing about the MacLean equipment is that it just goes and goes, no major dramas and easy to maintain. The machines are tough and operator friendly, even in these parts of the world. In saying that when we do incur machine related issues the MacLean team down in South Africa does a stellar job on the after sales support. For a maintenance foreman that is what you are after when mining in remote parts of the world.ā€

ā€œFor the Edmonton LRT downtown tunnel project we had a specific, short-term need for specialty construction equipment when it came to shotcrete transportation and loading into our shotcrete sprayers, and the MacLean TM3 Transmixers fit the bill when it came to performance and the rental terms. The biggest proof point of that fact is that we never were on the phone to MacLean to deal with equipment issues. We also were impressed with the quality of printed and digital schematics.ā€

ā€œThree MacLean Medium Reach Rigs in our mining equipment fleet are the warriors against hang-up challenges that we face every day. These Secondary Breaking units were designed to eliminate ore flow blockages and release trapped reserves above the draw point brow safely and effectively and thus have helped us greatly in keeping the mine running for the past 15 years. MacLean’s John-Paul Theunissen and his team of service techs and customer support parts representatives have done excellent work in supporting these rigs over the years, based in large part on their branch location at the mine site, right here in Palabora.ā€

ā€œMacLean was able to provide a custom solution to assist with bolter productivity at our operation through reduced setup times. We appreciate MacLean’s contribution to this solution, followed by training, parts and support to make sure the bolter keeps performing. We are very satisfied with the aftermarket support.ā€
