OUR
HISTORY
Established in 1952, Bird Machines specialised in the design and development of equipment for the agricultural industry in South Africa. To date, many of our designs are still in use in the agricultural sector.
The first mining machines developed in 1988, designed for the application of limestone dust to the roof, walls, and floors of underground collieries, have since inception, become an industry standard. This enabled us to expand and shift our focus and efforts to mining machinery.
FUTURE
FOCUSED
Bird Machines is continuously busy to expand our Product Range based on customer requirements and opportunities to improve safety and efficiency in underground operations. In addition, the relationship with Bird Machines shareholder Temeng Engineering and Fabrication (Pty) Ltd, a 100% black-owned business specialising in field service, maintenance support, and equipment rental to various mining groups, have enabled both companies to benefit from this synergistic relationship to provide a wider service to more customers.
We are an ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certified company that prides itself on quality products. Through continuous assessments and evaluations of industry standards, we strive to constantly improve the quality of our products.
Through new developments and customisation of existing machines, our range of trackless mining equipment attests to our ability to innovate. New developments are driven by customer requirements and new technologies being available.
We believe customer support, both pre- and post-sale is imperative, and a vital part of developing and maintaining long-term relationships with our customers. Bird Machines provides a number of after-sales services. These include Operator and Maintenance training, field service support on-site, full-time maintenance contracts on-site, spare sales as well as rebuilding and repair services.
