As long as it identifies a gap in any niche market, ELB Equipment does not hesitate to provide a relevant solution. That is how the multibrand crushing and screening solutions provider has stayed abreast of customer expectations, and even exceeded them, across Southern Africa.
The recent additions to the iconic Powerscreen range are a case in point: Powerscreen Premiertrak 450 and Maxtrak 1150 models. Louisa Ngwenya, Marketing Lead at ELB Equipment, is excited about the value these are going to add to screening tasks in mining.
More versatility
The Powerscreen Premiertrak and Maxtrak models add more versatility to the current Powerscreen inventory.
Typically, Powerscreen is designed specifically with Southern African mining operations in mind. It features high-performance mobile jaw crushers, cone crushers, impact crushers, and a versatile range of mobile screens. These machines are engineered for durability in tough conditions and deliver excellent throughput.
Now, raising the bar, the Powerscreen Premiertrak and Maxtrak models offer advanced features like hybrid drive options, telematics for fleet tracking, and improved fuel efficiency. These features address the evolving demands of modern mining.
Multi-franchise dealer
Furthermore, the introduction of the Powerscreen models demonstrates the flexibility of ELB Equipment. As a multi-franchise dealer, the company is able to source and provide solutions as and when needed, to the client’s convenience, across Southern Africa.
“Through a multi-franchise approach, we are able to offer unbiased, needs-based solutions. The longstanding partnership with Powerscreen epitomises this,” Ngwenya explains.
“Whether clients need primary crushing, secondary screening, or a fully integrated solution, ELB Equipment matches the best technologies to each operation,” she adds.
Solutions-based supply model
Always keeping abreast of market trends, ELB Equipment has noticed the shift toward solution-based supply. And so, accordingly, the company delivers end-to-end Powerscreen turnkey solutions. These include equipment selection, design consultation, plant layout, commissioning, training, and lifecycle support.
Noteworthy, ELB Equipment offers customised turnkey solutions for clients that require mobility, flexibility, and productivity. “We supply complete Powerscreen mobile systems configured to meet exact output and specification requirements. We have also recently added digital monitoring tools via Powerscreen Pulse, which allows mines to track performance and maintenance schedules in real time, improving operational decisions.”
After-sales service
While it offers a tailored turnkey solution, ELB Equipment notes that after-sales service remains a big concern for mine operators, particularly access to critical spare parts. For this reason, it takes after-sales service seriously when supplying Powerscreen equipment to clients. “Our long-standing distribution of Powerscreen equipment in Southern Africa has been supported by a wide network of service centres and parts warehouses. Critical spares for Powerscreen machines are held locally, and our regional service teams are equipped to perform everything from routine maintenance to major overhauls on-site,” assures Ngwenya.
More to the point, ELB Equipment’s service agreements and planned maintenance programs help reduce unplanned downtime. For mine operators, this means less waiting, more operating, and dependable support when and where it is needed most.
Increased uptime and reduced total cost of ownership
Generally, ELB Equipment has robust support infrastructure across Southern Africa. This, combined with readily available Powerscreen parts and OEM-certified technicians, ensures uptime and reduced total cost of ownership for mining clients operating under pressure.

Custom Leasing and Rental Packages
ELB Equipment understands the capital constraints and project-based nature of many South African mining operations. Consequently, the company extends its flexibility to offering the option of leasing crushing and screening equipment in addition to outright purchase.
ELB Equipment offers custom leasing and rental packages for Powerscreen crushing and screening equipment. These packages are flexible and designed to meet both short- and long-term needs.
The packages include operator training, technical support, full-service maintenance, and contractual service agreements. These give clients access to industry-leading Powerscreen technology without the upfront cost.
Due to the convenience it offers, this model has been especially popular among contract miners and operations looking to scale up quickly with minimal risk.
