The company Hydraulic & Air Brake Systems cc was established in 1984, as a one man concern, with a staff of two people.

Specializing in the repair, supply and installation of Hydraulic & Air Brake Systems. Hence where the company's name was derived from.

However, in 1987, three years later it became evident that the supply and demand increased to such an extent, that it called for an upgrading of the company's structures.

This upgrading was to incorporate a machine shop, with the acquisition of lathes, milling machine, press, power saws, drill machines, test benches, compressors, crimping machines, skiving machines, cutoff machines, fork lift and welding shop.

This was for the manufacture of Hydraulic and Pneumatic cylinders. Repairs to hydraulic motors, pumps, truck mounted cranes, hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, various valves, controls, braking system components, various hydraulic and pneumatic high pressure hose and fittings, as well as the supply of various nylon tubing and fittings.

Hence this upgrading called for an increase in staff, to fourteen personnel, all qualified artisans, well trained and skilled in their respective fields of operation.

In 1998 the supply and demand had progressed to such proportions that it called for a further upgrading of the companies structures.

This upgrading thus enhanced the building of our new modern premises, situated on the corner of Bosch and Heefer streets, Rustenburg. Thus an increase of staff to thirty five personnel this total includes qualified and skilled artisans and administrative personnel.

At this point in time the company acquired Agency and Distributorship for the "Palfinger" vehicle mounted cranes. Thus being the agent for the supply and installation, and repairs to these cranes, and the issuing of safety and test certificates, and reports on same.

The company further acquired Agency and Distributorship of the "F.A.W." vehicle and "Baldwin" filters.

The company offers professional and consulting services on Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems, Braking Systems and components and friction related problems and calculations.

We would further like to point out that we have qualified and skilled personnel on a twenty four hour break down service standby for on site breakdown repairs and advice.

In the year 2000 the company acquired Brake & Clutch Services Rustenburg, thus upgrading our facilities in this field, with the acquirement of all machines and equipment for the repairs, supply and installation of brake drums, discs, relining and rebonding of shoes.
