RMA Automotive South Africa is a leading provider of specialised vehicle modifications, delivering robust solutions tailored for the continent’s demanding environments. Operating from our advanced facility in Silverton, Pretoria, we design and engineer vehicles that meet the rigorous standards of surface mining operations.

Tailored Solutions for Surface Mining

Our surface mining vehicles are built to withstand the harsh conditions typical of mining sites. We offer comprehensive modifications to ensure safety, durability, and compliance with industry standards. Key features include:

• Roll Over Protection Systems (ROPS):
  Available in both interior and exterior configurations, ROPS are essential for protecting occupants in the event of a rollover.
  
  
• Safety Equipment:
  Each vehicle is equipped with mandatory safety gear such as fire extinguishers, wheel chocks, and buggy whip flags, all mounted with heavy-duty brackets.
  
  
  
• External Accessories:
  We install custom-designed nudge bars with spotlight mounting brackets, steel sidesteps, rear window protection, and reinforced load beds to enhance functionality and safety.

   

• Lighting and Electrical Systems:
  Our vehicles feature reverse buzzers, mining light bars, work lights, and dual battery systems to support essential electrical accessories like two-way radios and light bars.
  
  
  
• Interior Enhancements:
  Upgrades include heavy-duty seat covers, floor mats, and custom-made vinyl floor coverings to ensure durability and ease of maintenance.
  
  
  
• Tyre and Suspension Upgrades:
  We replace alloy wheels and road tyres with heavy-duty steel wheels and off-road tyres. Heavy-duty suspension upgrades are also available upon request to handle the challenging terrains of mining sites.
  
  
• Compliance and Identification:
  All harnesses are “plug and play” in line with the OEM’s Body Builders guide requirements. Vehicles are also fitted with mine-specific decals and livery, including reflective tape for enhanced visibility.
