SMT Africa’s Service Level Agreements (SLA) consolidate Spare Parts logistics, Expert Maintenance, and Advanced Training into a single, fixed-cost solution. We manage your technical and financial risks through customized contracts, ensuring maximum asset availability and optimized OPEX for high-intensity fleets.
Integrated Service Contracts
Our contracts are built on three core pillars that guarantee the longevity and productivity of your industrial equipment while stabilizing your operating budget.
Every operation has unique requirements. We allow you to bundle any of the following high-value services into your bespoke Service Contract to eliminate "hidden" costs:
Parts Supply Agreements (PSA
Fixed-price protection on all maintenance and wear parts for the duration of your contract.
Consignment Stock Management
SMT-owned inventory placed directly at your facility to ensure zero-delay repairs and eliminate VOR (Vehicle Off Road) incidents.
Onsite Technical Residency
Dedicated SMT engineers based at your remote site for 24/7 technical oversight and immediate response.
Predictive Digital Monitoring
Continuous fleet oversight via OEM telematics (CareTrack/ActiveCare) to prevent failures before they impact production.
Integrated Training Audits
Periodic operator audits and refreshers included to maintain peak jobsite productivity.
Extended Protection: The 2-Year Warranty & EPP Integration
Our Service Contracts act as a shield for your capital investment. We provide exclusive warranty extensions that go far beyond standard industry offers, ensuring your critical assets are covered against unforeseen technical failures.

Moving from Reactive Repair to Predictable Price-Per-Hour
In the African mining and construction sectors, the 'Price-per-Hour' model is the ultimate tool for financial control. By bundling Spare Parts, Training, and Maintenance into a single Service Contract, you eliminate the volatility of emergency repair bills. This strategic approach not only protects your cash flow but also ensures that the machine’s residual value is maximized through 100% OEM compliance and a documented service history.
