Questions
Do you work with customers in Gauteng?
Yes. Pitchline Engineering manufactures precision components for businesses throughout Gauteng, South Africa. Every part is made at our factory at 32 Henwood Road, Pinetown.
Can you work from a sample instead of a drawing?
Yes. Send us the worn or broken part and we can measure it at our factory and manufacture replacements to match.
What sizes can you handle?
Turned parts to Ø310mm and up to a metre long, milled components to 1000 x 500 x 400mm, spur and helical gears, ground surfaces to close tolerance, and moulded rubber parts from our own presses.
Which services are most used by Gauteng customers?
CNC turning and milling for machined spares, grinding where a close tolerance finish is needed, gear cutting for drives and gearboxes, and rubber moulding for seals and mountings.
Can you handle both small and large batches?
Yes. Twelve of our lathes run with automatic barfeeders for high-volume production, and we also take on one-off and low-volume replacement parts.
