“Proper maintenance and care throughout the lifespan of equipment significantly contribute to its longevity. To get the best out of our maintenance efforts, we largely use Metso OEM parts and spares from Pilot Crushtec International,” says Danoher.
Over the years, Danoher Group and Pilot Crushtec, the Metso dealer in southern Africa, have built a strong working relationship. “Relationships play a crucial role in what we buy. For us, Pilot Crushtec are more than just suppliers: they have become trusted business partners,” concludes Danoher.

Celebrating 40 years of Lokotrack® mobile crushers
In 2025, we proudly celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic Lokotrack® mobile crushers. The journey began in 1985 when Metso (formery Lokomo) and crushing contractor Telamurska developed the first track-mounted crusher. This innovation allowed the crusher to be moved independently to the remote crushing sites, eliminating the need to transport rocks to a quarry and then bring aggregates back for road construction. The concept was so successful that Metso began serial production of Lokotrack crushers in 1987, becoming the first in the industry to do so. Today, Lokotrack crushers are found on every continent, including Antarctica, continuing to lead as reliable partners for aggregate producers worldwide.
