About BRIGGEMAN

The Briggeman Story

It all started in 2009; my wife Eloise and I took a leap of faith and started our own business with a vision that was clear from the beginning – to become an industry leader providing the best customer service in the industry.

With two small children at the time and the economy officially in recession it was hard work but with a positive spirit, our business started taking off and soon we hired our first co-worker.

Starting with the supply of parts for container handling equipment in Durban (our first item we sold was a water pump for a straddle carrier!), we expanded our territory into the rest of South Africa and developed a “we-can-get-any-part” mentality for any brand and type of equipment.

In 2014 we moved to our first official premises outside our home gate, a 180m² shop tucked away in one of the corners of the Brownsdrift shopping centre.

We also became dealers for a number of niche products, amongst others Stinis container spreaders and Phoenix LED floodlights.

In 2018 we moved to a 750m2 premises in Acutt Avenue, not only to accommodate our growing company, but also to provide a home for the The Wellness Centre Trust, a non-profit organization that is close to our hearts.

MAFI terminal tractors, TMEIC crane automation systems and Forkliftcenter pre-owned equipment have been added to our product portfolio.

We moved to our current location in Riverhorse Valley in the beginning of 2023 to be able to accommodate our latest extension of our business – precision manufacturing and fabrication.

And more recently, we have become the official dealer for CVS Ferrari, a well-known brand in the container handling industry. We can proudly say “ we are a Ferrari dealer!”.

With a broad range of equipment, parts, technology and electronics, we are here for you!
