Mining Industry Equipment - Develon, TONLY, Everdigm
DISA Equipment
Powering South Africa’s Mining Industry with DISA Equipment’s range of Develon, TONLY and Everdigm Equipment
Introduction: Mining with Confidence Under DISA Equipment
South Africa has long been recognised as one of the most resource-rich countries in the world, with vast reserves of coal, platinum, manganese, iron ore, gold, and other critical minerals. The scale and diversity of mining operations across the country demand equipment that is not only powerful, but purpose-built, durable, and backed by dependable aftersales support.
At DISA Equipment, we deliver high-performance mining equipment designed for tough applications, demanding production schedules, and challenging terrain. As the trusted national distributor for Develon, TONLY and Everdigm, our product range includes powerful excavators, heavy-duty wheel loaders, efficient articulated and rigid dump trucks, and robust attachments — engineered to perform in the heart of Africa’s mining sector.
The Role of Equipment in South African Mining
Mining in South Africa spans deep underground shafts, expansive open-pit sites, and mobile contractor operations — all of which rely heavily on the capabilities of modern machinery. Productivity, safety, and uptime are non-negotiable. Whether extracting coal in Mpumalanga or hauling overburden in the Northern Cape, the right equipment determines operational success.
Key equipment requirements include:
- Excavation and loading of heavy, abrasive material
- Hauling of overburden, ore, and waste across long distances
- Efficient material handling in harsh, dusty environments
- Low operating costs over long duty cycles
- Serviceability and reliability with minimal downtime
DISA Equipment, through its distribution of Develon and TONLY machinery, provides mining clients with powerful, application-specific equipment matched with robust local support — to keep machines running, fleets moving, and projects on schedule.
Excavators Built for Mining Performance
DX530, DX800 & DX1000 – High-Capacity Excavation
Mining excavation demands strength, reach, and reliability. Develon’s large excavator range is engineered to tackle high volumes of overburden and ore in even the most challenging ground conditions.
Key features of Develon Mining Excavators:
- DX530: A balanced machine for mid-tier surface mining or bulk earthworks. Exceptional fuel efficiency, strong digging force, and comfort for long-hour operators.
- DX800: A true mining-class excavator with advanced hydraulics, powerful breakout force, and reinforced structural components. Ideal for hard rock and large quarry environments.
- DX1000: Develon’s flagship high-capacity excavator, designed for large-scale mining operations requiring maximum productivity and reliability in extreme conditions.
Each model offers exceptional durability, undercarriage strength, and hydraulic precision — built to withstand South Africa’s varied mining terrains.
Articulated Dump Trucks (ADTs) for Reliable Material Hauling
DA30 and DA45 – Engineered for Mobility and Tough Loads
Mining transport cycles often cover rough, uneven ground with high payload demands. Develon ADTs provide the stability, traction, and fuel efficiency needed for continuous hauling.
- DA30: Perfect for smaller or contractor-run sites. Manoeuvrable, fuel-efficient, and versatile in confined mine zones or quarries.
- DA45: A powerhouse hauler with a 41-ton payload capacity, advanced transmission controls, and a sloping frame for stability — optimised for high-volume mining applications.
Both models are equipped with enhanced operator cabins, all-wheel drive, and automatic traction control, delivering excellent mobility across loose or slippery terrain.
Wheel Loaders for Stockpiling and Material Movement
DL420-7M, DL520 & DL550 – Built to Move More, Efficiently
Whether loading trucks, managing ROM pads, or stockpiling aggregates, Develon’s wheel loaders are critical in ensuring smooth material flow on-site.
- DL420-7M: Ideal for mid-scale mining operations; powerful yet nimble, perfect for quick-loading applications.
- DL520: Designed for bulk handling with optimal load-out performance; high lift capacity, reinforced axles, and robust bucket configurations.
- DL550: The mining flagship loader, engineered for continuous operation under extreme pressure, high-density materials, and extended shifts.
All Develon loaders feature advanced cooling systems, intuitive controls, and heavy-duty structural enhancements — reducing operator fatigue and extending component life in rugged environments.
Rigid Dump Trucks: TONLYfor Hard-Haul Applications
TONLY Rigid Trucks – Mining Grade Durability
For large-scale surface mining operations, TONLY rigid dump trucks offer an ideal solution for hauling massive volumes of overburden or ore over long haul distances.
Tonly trucks are known for:
- High payload capacity (up to 100 tons)
- Reinforced frames and suspensions
- Cost-effective operating economics
- Simplified serviceability for remote operations
Their compatibility with Develon excavators and loaders ensures a synchronised fleet operation, improving productivity across the mining cycle.
Attachments for Mining Efficiency
EHB50 Everdigm Hydraulic Hammer – Breaking Ground, Literally
When mining operations require primary rock breaking, scaling, or oversize fragmentation, Everdigm’s EHB50 hydraulic hammer is up to the task. Mounted on large excavators, this attachment delivers high-impact energy for demanding mining conditions such as:
- Hard rock trenching
- Boulders in load zones
- Selective demolition of overhangs or pillars
Its robust build and compatibility with DX800/DX1000 excavators ensure maximum efficiency in applications where blasting may be restricted.
