When your excavator breaks down, there’s only one thing on your mind: getting it back to work, fast.

At Vikfin, we understand the pressure. Dead machines mean dead projects. Deadlines loom. Costs pile up. Your reputation’s on the line. That’s why we built our entire business around a simple promise:Getting You Back to Work Fast.

Today, we're proud to be known as South Africa’s trusted supplier of used excavator parts — because nobody moves quicker, works harder, or gets you better value for your hard-earned money than Vikfin. If you’re stuck and need a solution yesterday, read on to find out why we’re your next (and best) call.

1. Why Speed Matters More Than Anything Else

Let’s be real: when your excavator goes down, the clock starts ticking.Every hour lost isn't just downtime — it's lost revenue, lost momentum, and sometimes even lost clients.

Waiting for imported parts from overseas? That could take weeks.Buying new parts at dealership prices? That could bankrupt the job.Scavenging scrapyards or unreliable sellers? That’s just throwing dice and praying.

You don't have time to mess around.You need a reliable partner who can act fast, knows exactly what you need, and gets it to you without drama.That’s where Vikfin comes in.

2. Huge Inventory = Less Waiting, More Working

At Vikfin, we carry one of the largest inventories of used excavator parts in South Africa.From undercarriages and final drives to hydraulic pumps and boom arms, we’ve got parts for:

CAT
Komatsu
Hitachi
Doosan
Volvo
Hyundai
Kobelco…and many others.

Odds are, we already have what you need — sitting on the shelf, ready to go.

Where other suppliers may need to order parts, wait for shipments, or “get back to you next week,” at Vikfin, we can often say:"Yep, we’ve got it. How soon can you pick it up?"

And if by some miracle we don’t have it? Our sourcing network stretches across South Africa and beyond. We’ll pull every string to get it in your hands fast.

3. Saving You Money Without Sacrificing Quality

Let’s talk money.We know you’ve got budgets to meet and bosses breathing down your neck.

New OEM parts are expensive — often wildly overpriced. And buying new sometimes just doesn’t make sense, especially if the machine’s already clocked a few thousand hours.

That’s why our used parts make financial sense:

You get OEM quality at a fraction of the new price.
You cut downtime because we get you parts faster than factory orders.
You stretch your maintenance budget — and your machine’s life.

And don’t worry: we don’t sell junk.Every part that goes through our yard is thoroughly inspected, tested where possible, and carefully graded. We’ll give you the honest truth about a part’s condition so you can make the right call for your machine and your money.

We aren’t in the business of quick sales.We’re in the business of building long-term partnerships with companies that know the value of real service.

4. Our Team: Real Experience, Real Advice

You know what’s worse than a broken excavator?Talking to someone who knows less about excavators than you do.

At Vikfin, our team lives and breathes heavy machinery.We’re not just salespeople — we’re gearheads, mechanics, and parts specialists who know how machines work, and why they fail.

Need help identifying exactly what’s wrong?Want advice on whether it’s smarter to repair or replace?Trying to find a workaround that’ll save you a pile of cash?

We’ve got you covered.You’re not dealing with a call centre here. You’re talking to real people who have seen it all — and who genuinely want to help you find the quickest, smartest, and cheapest way back to full power.

5. No B.S., No Red Tape, No Excuses

Too many companies make big promises and deliver small results.Not us.

At Vikfin, we don’t waste your time with sales fluff, endless "processing" delays, or corporate nonsense.We focus on results:

Honest communication every step of the way

We don’t overpromise. If we can get you a part today, we’ll say so.If it’ll take 48 hours, we’ll tell you that too — straight up.No games, no smoke and mirrors, no ghosting when things get complicated.

That’s why contractors, farmers, builders, and earthmovers across South Africa keep coming back to Vikfin.Because they know that when things get tough, we show up.

6. Repair, Replace, or Rebuild? We Help You Choose Smart

Sometimes it’s not obvious whether you should replace a part, repair it, or rebuild it.

Maybe the hydraulic pump you thought was toast just needs a reseal.Maybe the boom cylinder that’s leaking could be reconditioned for half the price of a new one.Maybe it’s smarter to bite the bullet and replace a worn final drive before it wrecks your whole undercarriage.

At Vikfin, we help you make those calls.

We’re not just here to sell you parts.We’re here to save you from making expensive mistakes.

Bring us the problem. Bring us the broken bits. Let’s work through it together.Our mission is simple:Get you back to work fast, at the best possible cost, with no nasty surprises later.

We can even arrange after-hours pickups or urgent dispatches where needed. Because when you’re stuck, every hour counts.
