Benoni, Gauteng
Custom engineering and fabrication, built in-house.
Design, fabrication and finishing under one roof. From precision laser cutting to embedded control systems and full mechanical builds, we engineer equipment that holds up where it is sent.
- Six capabilities in one workshop
- 3-year structural warranty on the Badger Toolbox
- Field-tested in mine-site conditions
Capabilities
Custom engineering and fabrication, handled end to end
Six capabilities sit on one workshop floor in Benoni. Design, cut, weld, wire, coat and assemble all happen in-house, which is why a drawing change on Tuesday does not cost a fortnight waiting on an outside supplier. See how they come together in our six-step development process, or on the Badger Toolbox.

Flagship product
The Badger Bakkie Toolbox, built for mine-site reality
When your bakkie is your mobile workshop, failure is not an option. The Badger Toolbox is cut from heavy-gauge steel, sealed against dust-choked haul roads, and finished in five corrosion-fighting powder-coat colours. It is the field-tech solution built to outlast the vehicle beneath it.
Lids cut from 6 mm checker plate
Five powder-coat colours
- Khaki
- Safety orange
- Blue
- Grey
- Silver
Dual-stage powder coat, applied in our own booth in Benoni rather than sent out, which is how the finish stays under our control.
-
6 mm Checker-Plate Lids
A non-slip deck strong enough to stand on, or to mount a vice.
-
Gas-Strut Quick Access
Pop the lid one-handed, even in gloves, grab your gear and get back to work.
-
Dual-Stage Security
Marine-grade compression latches plus hidden pad-lock loops deter site theft.

How we build
Six steps from an on-site problem to deployed equipment
Nothing here starts with a catalogue. It starts with someone showing us a machine that does not do what the job needs. The six steps below are the same route every Badger build takes, and they are the reason a Badger Toolbox and a one-off radar trailer come off the same floor to the same standard.
-
On-Site Assessment
We meet you where the equipment works, watch the problem happen, and write down what the build has to survive before anyone draws a line.
-
3D Design and Drafting
Full CAD assemblies, exploded views and workshop-ready blueprints for every part, so nothing important gets decided on the floor with a grinder.
-
Engineering and Assembly
CNC plasma cutting, sheet-metal bending, MIG and TIG welding, galvanising and rust-proofing, all under our own roof and our own quality control.
-
Finishing and Reveal
Components come together, the colour you chose goes on, galvanised parts are prepped for longevity, and the build is cleaned and checked before you see it.
-
Quality Assurance
Every weld, the fitment of every moving part, the electronics, hydraulics and solar, and an operational stress test under load, before it leaves Benoni.
-
Field-Tested, Client-Approved
Delivered fully assembled, calibrated and fine-tuned on your site, then walked through with the team who has to use it every day.

Everything except the drawing is quick. The upload takes a CAD file, a PDF or a photograph, and zipped files if your CAD format is one WordPress does not accept on its own.
