History & Development

Proudly designed & manufactured in South Africa since 2009 and each Tomcat machine is tailor-made for the rugged arboricultural conditions.

At the heart of our mission is the commitment to crafting equipment designed with simplicity, resilience, and trustworthiness in mind. We firmly believe in building not just machinery but genuine connections with our customers. It’s our belief that by doing so, we empower you with the means to enhance your business, giving you the precious gift of time. Time saved from cumbersome maintenance is time reclaimed for the joyous moments in life. 

Today Tomcat equipment is available across Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Mauritius, and Seychelles.

Our drum-style wood chippers are offered in two versions: gravity-feed and hydraulic-feed, and available drive options include engine-driven, PTO-driven or electric.

Our equipment catalogue also includes Stump Grinders, Compost Turners, Grinders and Log Splitters. Tomcat’s advantage lies in our focus on building equipment suited to the uncompromising conditions associated with arboricultural operations, designed and manufactured to be uncomplicated, robust and reliable.

Parts and major drive components are sourced from local suppliers with reliable dealer networks throughout such as BMG, Perkins Diesel, Parker Hydraulics, WPT Power, Honda and Kohler.

With our straightforward and sturdy designs, paired with the foundation of authentic relationships, we envision a future where your business flourishes effortlessly, and you have more moments to savor life.
