The Force Behind South Africa’s Heavy Industry
For decades, the name behind some of South Africa’s most trusted construction and mining machinery has been a familiar presence on job sites, quarries, and mine operations across the country.
Today, that presence is unified under one clear identity: DISA Equipment. As a leading supplier of heavy machinery, DISA Equipment has grown through decades of change – not only in equipment but in the way it supports customers long after the sale.
At the heart of DISA’s approach is a simple belief: machines matter, but people and partnerships matter more. By investing in local skills, service infrastructure, and genuine customer relationships, the company has earned its reputation as a steady, reliable partner to South Africa’s construction, mining, and earthmoving sectors.
The DISA Equipment Story: From Legacy Brands to Unified Strength
DISA Equipment’s story is built on a strong foundation of experience. The company began as a distributor of Daewoo machinery and later transitioned to Doosan as the brand evolved globally.
Now operating under the DISA Equipment name and aligned with Develon, this change represents more than a new identity – it reflects a focus on clarity, commitment, and continuity. The same people, the same expertise, and the same dedication remain, strengthened by the ability to serve South Africa’s heavy industry with renewed purpose.
Supported by the Capital Equipment Group, DISA continues to combine local understanding with group-wide stability and resources. This partnership allows the company to deliver not only quality equipment, but also the dependable service and long-term support customers have come to expect.
Comprehensive Support: Maximising Equipment Uptime and Value
At DISA Equipment, the relationship doesn’t end when a machine leaves the workshop. Every piece of equipment is backed by a dedicated service network designed to keep it working efficiently and safely for years to come.
The company recognises that downtime affects more than productivity, it impacts people and projects. That’s why DISA takes a proactive approach to maintenance, combining planned service programmes with responsive field support. The focus is always on helping customers keep their operations moving, wherever they are in the country.
Nationwide Workshops and Skilled Technicians
DISA’s workshops across South Africa are equipped to handle everything from routine servicing to full rebuilds. Each facility is staffed by factory-trained technicians who work to exacting manufacturer standards using advanced diagnostic tools and genuine OEM parts.
Workshops are strategically located to provide quick turnaround times, ensuring equipment is back in operation as soon as possible. Each technician undergoes continuous training to stay up to date with evolving technologies, so every repair meets the highest safety and performance expectations.
Whether it’s a quick oil change, a component overhaul, or a complex diagnostic job, DISA’s workshops reflect the company’s commitment to doing things properly – and with care.
Field Service for Remote Operations
For customers operating in remote or demanding environments, DISA’s mobile field service teams are an essential lifeline. These teams travel directly to site, equipped with specialist tools, diagnostic systems, and OEM parts to handle most repairs on the spot.
For clients in industries like mining or agriculture, where every hour counts, DISA’s field service support can make all the difference.
Genuine OEM Parts and Warranties
DISA believes that lasting reliability comes from using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Every part stocked and fitted by DISA is designed to perform as the manufacturer intended – safely, efficiently, and consistently.
The company maintains a strong national parts network, ensuring fast access to essential components. Backed by comprehensive warranties and supported by Develon’s global supply chain, customers can count on long-term performance and value.
Beyond immediate repairs, DISA’s parts strategy focuses on helping customers manage the full lifecycle cost of their machines. Using genuine OEM components helps extend service intervals, lower maintenance costs, and preserve equipment value over time.
Preventative Maintenance
Reliable machinery depends as much on care as it does on engineering. DISA offers preventative maintenance programmes designed to maximise uptime and extend machine life. By scheduling regular inspections and servicing, customers can reduce unplanned breakdowns and avoid costly repairs.
DISA’s approach is simple: help customers get the best from their investment, every day.
Capital Equipment Group: Strength Through Partnership
As part of the Capital Equipment Group (CEG), DISA benefits from the collective strength, resources, and shared experience of one of South Africa’s leading industrial groups.
This partnership allows DISA to maintain substantial parts inventories, invest in new diagnostic technology, and continue developing the skilled teams that support customers across the country. It also brings financial and operational stability – something every long-term partner values in an industry built on trust and dependability.
Building South Africa’s Industrial Future
From large-scale mining operations in the North West to infrastructure developments in the Western Cape, DISA Equipment plays a role in building South Africa’s progress – quietly, steadily, and with pride.
What sets DISA apart isn’t loud claims or grand promises – it’s the consistency of its service, the accessibility of its teams, and the peace of mind it gives to customers who know their equipment is in good hands.
Every workshop, every field call, and every repaired machine represents the same commitment: to help customers do their work well and keep South Africa’s heavy industry moving forward.
Backed by decades of experience, a strong national presence, and the support of the Capital Equipment Group, DISA Equipment remains a trusted name in reliability, partnership, and progress – supporting customers long after the sale, every step of the way.
