Who We Are

About Maaksheshwe

A South African plant hire, construction and trucking company built to keep mines and sites productive.

Maaksheshwe, the trading name of GushLamaGesh (Pty) Ltd, supplies yellow machinery, large tipper trucks and site services to the mining and construction sectors. Based in Middelburg, in the heart of Mpumalanga’s coalfields, we are close to the operations we serve and ready to mobilise quickly.

Our fleet of wheel loaders, excavators and mining trucks is backed by experienced operators, planned maintenance and on-site support. Whether a client needs a single machine on dry hire or a fully operated load-and-haul team, we provide equipment and people that deliver safe, measurable production.

We work closely with mine owners, contractors and logistics partners, and we measure our success by our clients’ uptime, tonnes moved and safety performance.
