Visitors to Yellow Zone, Stand P66A will be able to explore the wide range of equipment designed to meet hauling, loading, digging, lifting and grading needs, while engaging with Bell Equipment’s product specialists and learning more about its comprehensive aftermarket support.
“Our focus at Electra Mining is to demonstrate how Bell Equipment delivers and supports complete solutions for our customers,” said Wade Peterson, Head of Sales and Marketing at Bell Equipment Sales South Africa (BESSA). “From machines designed for heavy production through to versatile equipment that supports everyday site operations, we’re looking forward to showing visitors how our products, backed by our nationwide support network, help businesses improve productivity, lower operating costs and maximise uptime.”
BESSA OEM Manager: JCB, Geran Lazarus.
The stand will feature the mining-sized Bell B50E Articulated Dump Truck and Kobelco Excavator, the popular JCB 3CX Plus Backhoe Loader, the compact JCB 155HD Skid Steer and a Bell Versalift, which features quick-changing bucket and fork attachments for everyday material handling and support. Visitors will also get a closer look at two innovative additions to the BESSA range: the South African manufactured Bell G140 6×6 Grader and the new JCB 540-180 Telehandler.
The Bell G140 6×6 Grader showcases the company’s focus on sustainable engineering. Bell Equipment Product Manager, Jeremiah Mokhomo said: “This product is designed and built for enhanced operational efficiency, improved safety, and reduced environmental impact. Being technology agnostic, we purposefully engineered the grader with a future-ready platform, featuring a Collision Prevention System (CPS)-ready architecture and retrofittable grading technology, enabling seamless integration with third-party precision grading and machine control systems. This flexibility allows customers to upgrade capabilities as operational needs evolve, without requiring major machine modifications.”

He added that the grader’s sealed slew bearing, a premium feature that protects critical components from contamination, is at the core of the machine’s durability. This significantly extends service life and reduces maintenance requirements by eliminating the need for circle wear inserts.
Making its Electra Mining debut, the JCB 540-180 Telehandler expands Bell Equipment Sales South Africa’s lifting solutions. The machine combines an impressive 18-metre lift height and four-tonne lift capacity with attachment versatility, three steering modes for superior manoeuvrability and advanced safety systems.
BESSA’s OEM Manager for JCB, Geran Lazarus said: “The JCB 540-180 is an ideal solution for customers working on larger commercial buildings, industrial developments, and mining infrastructure and maintenance projects where additional reach, while maintaining productivity and stability, is essential.”
Peterson concludes: “Every machine on display represents the company’s commitment to providing customers with strong, reliable equipment backed by exceptional support and we look forward to engaging with visitors to see how we can work together to build more productive, efficient and sustainable operations.”
