Meet FIGI
FIGI, our mascot represents the Values of Machinery Contractors (MC). Following a competition opened to employees and their families, the final design was conceptualised and designed by one of our employee's 13-year-old child. The design exhibits the various products manufactured at MC and encompasses what the MC team values.

About Machinery Contractors
Transforming Engineering Challenges into Opportunities.
Where other companies stop, Machinery Contractors only gets started.
From tyre handlers and quick couplers to buckets, cable reelers, tankers and field repairs, MC builds practical solutions around the machine, material and operating environment.
Our Products
Your machine is not just equipment. It is uptime, safety and production. Our products are built around those realities.
OEM tyre handling control
MC tyre handlers are engineered for safer positioning, better visibility and dependable hydraulic control during tyre and rim fitment.
The MC 3200 HD, MC 4400 and MC 4600 range helps mines match the handler to the machine and job.
Tyre Handlers
Built for mining conditions
We design and manufacture shovel, excavator and loader buckets around machine class, material density and wear package requirements.
Every build is practical, reinforced and made for abrasive load-and-haul environments.
Buckets
Designed for uptime
Cable reelers are built to protect equipment, reduce downtime and keep mining operations moving.
Each unit is fabricated for strength, clean routing and reliable field use.
Cable Reelers
Purpose-built capacity
Water tankers and diesel bowsers are configured around capacity, access and operating demands.
The result is a practical site-ready unit with the strength to keep working.
Tankers
Fast attachment changes
Hydraulic quick couplers help operators change attachments faster while keeping safety central.
We build coupler systems for compatibility, durability and demanding daily use.
