SMT Africa delivers high-tier wear protection systems engineered for the toughest African terrains. From Volvo Genuine GET for construction and quarry to Combi Wear Parts and Bradken for heavy mining.
GET & Wear Solutions
We provide a comprehensive range of GET designed to protect your buckets and maximize penetration in all soil types.
Calibrated Solutions for Every Duty Cycle
Our technical teams select GET based on your specific site’s rock MOHS hardness and impact levels.
Utilization of Bradken heavy-duty shrouds and penetration teeth for iron ore, gold, and copper operations.
Hard Rock Mining
Combi and Volvo systems focused on precision, low fuel consumption, and rapid replacement for roadworks and urban development.
Infrastructure & BTP
High-abrasion resistant alloys to maximize the life of wheel loader buckets in abrasive sand and stone environments.
Quarries & Aggregates
Engineering the Future of Wear Protection
SMT Africa partners with the world’s leading metallurgists to provide three distinct tiers of wear excellence.
-
Volvo Genuine GET (Small & Medium)
Specifically engineered for Volvo excavators and loaders. Focuses on perfect fitment, optimized fuel efficiency, and protecting the manufacturer’s warranty for construction-sector assets.
-
Combi Wear Parts (Full Range - Multi-Brand)
A premier Swedish hammerless system (C-REX, ProTect) designed for construction and mining. Known for its high-quality alloy steel and ease of maintenance across mixed fleets.
-
Bradken (Heavy Mining - Multi-Brand)
Engineered for the world’s largest mining shovels and excavators. Features advanced metallurgy for high-impact resistance and patented locking systems like Twistlok™ and Penetrator™.
GET management is a core component of SMT’s integrated service strategy.
Maintenance
Our field technicians perform Onsite Wear Audits to predict replacement cycles and prevent bucket structural damage.
Spare Parts
Strategic stock of Combi and Bradken components at our African Hubs ensures immediate availability for CAT and Komatsu fleets.
Training
We train your operators on correct "digging angles" to maximize the self-sharpening properties of our premium teeth.
Strategic Wear Analysis: Beyond the Price of Steel
In high-intensity operations, the true cost of GET is measured in penetration efficiency and fuel consumption. A blunt or poor-quality tooth can increase fuel burn by 15% and put unnecessary stress on the machine’s hydraulic system. By utilizing Hammerless Systems from Combi or Bradken, you not only improve onsite Safety during replacements but also ensure that your machine operates at its designed breakout force throughout the entire life of the tooth.
Yes. While we provide Volvo-specific GET, our Bradken and Combi Wear Parts ranges are engineered to fit Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, and other major OEMs without modifications.
Systems like C-REX or Twistlok™ eliminate the need for sledgehammers, significantly reducing the risk of onsite injuries and shortening replacement downtime.
Bradken is the gold standard for ultra-large mining excavators (>200 tons) operating in extreme abrasion, while Combi offers a versatile premium range for all machine sizes from construction to mining.
No. Using our certified premium partners like Bradken or Combi maintains the mechanical integrity of your machine while providing specialized wear performance.
