Wuhlf Equipment (Pty) Ltd Wuhlf Logo
Wuhlf Equipment (Pty) Ltd specializes (since 2005) in the import, and supply of Front End Loaders, 4X4 Forklifts, TLBs, and Spares. Over 3000 units have been sold to date. Manufacturing of Loaders and various attachments was done since 2009.
During 2013 we decided to start with research, design, development and manufacturing of Mulchers to be used in Africa for the mechanical control of bush encroachment, invasion by alien plant species and deforestation.
This decision was taken based on the following facts:
  • No locally manufactured self driven mulchers available in Africa.
  • Very high and prohibitive cost of imported machines that is not adapted to the harsh African environment with no or very little support, maintenance structures and skills.
  • Of South Africa's 122 million hectare (ha) surface area, 71% is mostly used for livestock and game ranching of which an estimated 10 million hectare have been infected by Bankrupt bush. This figure does not include Sickle bush, Black Wattle and the 300 plus invasive species in South Africa.
The first mulcher we designed (ZA 20 Mulchers) were 74 Kw machines with a blade mulcher attached. We then realized that there was a great demand for a drum mulcher and larger machines. During the past 11 years various models were designed and tested. Today we manufacture the tried and tested 930 and 960 Models of which over 100 machines have been sold throughout Africa. This design, development and improvement is ongoing and a new smaller machine is currently in the pipeline.
To facilitate the manufacturing process and provide excellent service to our customers we have expanded our spare range 10 fold and we keep most 90% spares in stock of all machine models we sell. Spares not in stock are sourced locally, manufactured or flown in from overseas suppliers in the shortest possible period.
Our 2024 strategy is to expand our product range with SKIDSTEER LOADERS, TELEHANDLERS, TRACTORS, FORKLIFTS and ELECTRIC FARM UTILITY VECHILES (GOLF CART).
We have started with the rollout of 100 Wuhlf Dealers throughout Southern Africa.
