Jet Park, 05 May 2009 – Walking through equipment yard at HPE Africa in Jet Park, and looking at the array of new earthmoving equipment waiting to be delivered to excited customers, you could be excused for not taking note of the pristine gardens and well tended offices, because when standing in the shadows of some of the worlds most respected Earthmoving equipment, everything else seems to pale in comparison. Alan Grady, Managing Director of HPE Africa has a passion for every piece of earthmoving equipment that they import, sell and service. He is a supporter of all their brands telling us, “I have been fortunate to work with many different forms of equipment over my many years in the industry, and believe in the values and attributes of the leading brands that we have at HPE Africa. I proudly put my name behind every item that HPE Africa is involved in, and will continue to do so.”
From the largest to the smallest machines, HPE Africa’s products continue to be leaders in their respective fields, with technology and design applications allowing them to stand tall amongst similar products. All equipment distributed by HPE Africa meets the most stringent safety, environment and building requirements and standards, and more importantly conforms to the Euro Tier 3 Emission Standards.
What began as a family business, has developed into a respected and thriving company with over 65 employees, all with a common goal: to provide the worlds leading earthmoving equipment to southern African companies through the HPE Africa network of branches and authorized dealers throughout southern Africa. With Alan Grady having more than 25 years experience in the earth moving industry, HPE Africa have developed a proud reputation for offering quality products and uncompromised service to clients in various industries, including plant hire, construction, government, mining, demolition and materials handling.
Grady has made great strides over the last couple of months, securing both large contracts and the supply of new machines. While walking through the HPE Africa upgraded service and parts centre, Alan tells us, “Understanding the changing dynamic of the South African landscape has held us in good stead to adapt the service and product offerings from HPE Africa.” He adds, “HPE Africa have always had a philosophy of sticking by our clients through thick and thin. Within tough economic conditions and the uncertainty of many industries, our staff and suppliers have pulled together to provide options on equipment, finance packages and most importantly our unwavering commitment to service and project excellence.”
HPE Africa is well-equipped to provide service and parts for our equipment through full or part-service contracts either with their 24/7 stand-by workshop and parts department or with their mobile service technicians.

A tree is planted on behalf of our client with each machine they purchase. Creating sustainability and promoting environmental awareness is further created through a Staff Education Program. Health, well-being, motivation and development of staff is evident in the company’s BEE program and rigid Health & Safety Standards – these programs are in place to ensure that staff are trained and developed with a view to promotion and self-fulfillment.
