About us
Kōzan Equipment
Kōzan Equipment was established by a team of South African industry veterans with a clear vision: to introduce a new caliber of heavy machinery to the African market—one that delivers the perfect balance of world-class component quality and true operational value.
We understand the unique and demanding nature of Africa’s terrain and climate. It’s why every Kōzan machine is not just built, but engineered and hardened for this continent. Our entire equipment line is engineered and designed right here in South Africa. Each piece of equipment is rigorously specified and constructed around a core of globally renowned, trusted systems. By integrating premium technology—like Cummins engines and ZF transmissions—we ensure our customers benefit from peak performance, reliability, and the durability needed to thrive under the toughest conditions.
While we draw on vast international expertise to assemble and manufacture our state-of-the-art machinery, our investment, focus, and entire commitment are dedicated to supporting African economies and their people. Our dedicated local sales, parts, and service teams stand ready to partner with you, ensuring your equipment performs reliably from day one. When you choose Kōzan, you are choosing quality machinery backed by local expertise you can rely on.
