The worldwide first and only battery driven vibratory plates for emission-free and wireless compaction!
WL20e - The electric wheel loader 100 % emission-free.
DT10e - The battery-powered track dumper works up to eight hours absolutely emission free.
These external vibrators run at lower frequencies, therefore they are perfectly suited for transporting or loosening of bulk materials.
Pneumatic external vibrators are the first choice when electricity is not available. They provide continuous vibration for non-stop applications. Their robust, strong and simple design provide low maintenance requirements and high durability.
For converting the frequency of internal and external vibrators on construction sites. Compact size and impressive performance even in continuous operation.
Stationary frequency converters are perfectly suited for the operation of a greater number of external vibrators which requires a more complex switch control technique.
Ideal for smoothing concrete in border areas, around pillars and small areas. The electric drive allows for the use in confined areas.
The innovative mechanical rebar tier for stable connections of reinforcing steel wires. It replaces pliers and prevents that construction workers have to work in a hunched over position. Perfect for working on reinforcement and for fixing plastic pipes.
The world's only rammers with a two-stroke engine: Provide optimum compaction performance and meet low emission standards.
Classic four-stroke engines provide good performance and long service life.
The diesel version of rammers offers superior compaction performance, particularly with heavy, cohesive soils.
For the compaction of mixed soils, interlocking paving stones, asphalt and other soils - easy to maneuver and extremely agile.
For the compaction of all soils and subbases. High compaction performance by operating with forward and reverse direction. The wide range of size, power and feature variants offers a great selection for special requirements.
Ride-on tandem rollers for compacting larger sub-base areas and asphalt. Optionally equipped with vibration or oscillation, also available as combination.
Two-stroke gasoline breakers with a special Wacker Neuson low-emission engine which is tailored exactly to the breakers, that provides excellent demolition performance.
Large selection of pointed, flat and wide chisels with various shanks and sizes.
For cutting brickwork, reinforcement, pipes and even concrete - very reliable cutting performance and extremely durable.
Cutting blades from Wacker Neuson for a clean, perfect cut. From concrete and asphalt discs to universal discs that are offered in 3 performance classes.
Light Towers are ideally suited for illuminating large areas with diffused light similar to daylight. Mobile, powerful and easy to set up. Ideal for continuous operations.
Very finely graded product range from 800 kg to 14.5 t. The compact track excavators are powerful, highly efficient, easy to use and designed to the last detail for performance and operator comfort.
With the authorization for public roads the wheeled excavators can be quickly and flexible on site - no transport truck is needed. The combination of high performance and low consumption makes them efficient helpers at any construction site.
The numerous attachment tools make wheel loaders versatile all-rounders for many applications. Buckets and pallet forks in various equipment variations, snow removal equipment, sweeping brooms and many more.
Load carriers reaching for height: Telehandler with up to 9 meters stacking height for extra flexibility.
Numerous attachment tools expand the range of applications for Telehandlers remarkably. Buckets and pallet forks in various equipment variations and many more.
The dual view concept allows a comfortable and quick change of the seat position through a 180° turn of the entire operating and seat console. In this way, the operator always has perfect view in the direction of travel - during transportation, loading and unloading.
Specialists in material handling on difficult terrain. Due to their extremely compact design they can be used perfectly in confined spaces.
Based in South Africa, Wacker Neuson serves the entire sub-Saharan region.
Wacker Neuson has already been represented in South Africa for more than 30 years. The company has had its national headquarters in Johannesburg since 1980. A subsidiary was opened in Durban in 1985 and the third subsidiary was opened in Cape Town in 1987. Today, all sub-Saharan countries are served from South Africa. With the growth, the brand awareness also increased and Wacker Neuson became synonymous with rammers and equipment for soil compaction. The equipment for concrete compaction has also become firmly established in South Africa.
The experiences from the extreme application conditions for construction equipment and compact machines in South Africa helped to align the group's products to the toughest conditions. These product improvements led to Wacker Neuson becoming synonymous with vibratory rammers. It is an important factor, because the vibratory rammers. is the most commonly used working equipment for compaction on African construction sites. In the traditional product division of soil compaction, Wacker Neuson is still one of the market leaders.
Wacker Neuson is already represented by distribution partners in Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Ghana, Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya and Tanzania. The current hot spots in the region are Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia and South Africa. South Africa plays an important role as a hub for procurement and logistics for most African countries. Nevertheless, the country is currently in a difficult phase, because the competition from other African countries is growing. Nigeria would like to become the hub for trade, industry, petrochemistry and logistics in West Africa and is tapping into new business fields.
In the Congo, the focus is on the mining industry. Zambia has vast mineral resources and is also one of the few African countries where large scale agriculture is promoted. In the region of Solwezi in the interior, the expansion of the copper belt is being promoted. These are projects that offer opportunities to use compact machines and construction equipment by Wacker Neuson, for example in processing, maintenance and environmental management. In Zambia, there is also a market for wheel, skid steer and telehandlers from the group. The wide product range and the diverse application areas offer the best conditions for future growth.
Eugene Brown has been responsible for Wacker Neuson businesses from South Africa to the sub-Saharan zone since January 2013. He has been with the company since July 2012, but has been working in the construction industry since 1998. His motto: Nothing comes from nothing and hard work DOES pay off.
Since January 2013, you have been the Regional President for Wacker Neuson Africa. What are your plans?
In principle, we are very well positioned, especially in the areas of compaction and concrete technology, and were also able to more strongly assert ourselves against the competition with wheel loaders and other compact machines.
One goal, however, is that we bring our products even closer to the customer. That is easier said than done, because South Africa alone is a very big country. For the customer, it is not feasible to visit a branch 650 kilometers away. In addition to South Africa, I am responsible for all countries in the sub-Sahara, where a huge potential is slumbering. Here, it will be our task to find and establish the right dealers and distribution partners for Wacker Neuson. Our future success will primarily depend on how well we are able to better position ourselves here. Another success factor is my staff, who is available to the customer as a reliable problem solver.
What are the most important products for your market?
The traditionally strong segments of soil and concrete compaction are our best-selling areas. But they are under fierce competition, especially compared to the competition from Asia. Incidentally, this applies to all African countries south of the Sahara, especially South Africa, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria and Ghana. The offer of compact construction machines is very important, whereby the focus here is on wheel loaders, excavators, telehandlers and skid steer loaders. In the past three years, we were able to achieve a great deal in the region, but there is still a great deal of potential.
