Our Journey
Our History & Evolution
Arch Equipment was established in July 2000 with two divisions: plant hire and used earthmoving equipment sales. The plant hire fleet consisted of seven machines with operators and field service teams supporting construction, civil engineering, and mining projects.
While plant hire was successful, the used equipment division grew rapidly through partnerships with reputable industry companies and long-standing clients in mining and construction.
As used machine sales accelerated, Arch Equipment shifted focus entirely to selling quality second-hand machinery. Over the years, we have been involved in key partnerships that strengthened our footprint in the industry:
- Joint venture with SPT Materials Handling until 2019
- National used equipment division managed for Kemach JCB on a 50/50 profit share
- Post-Covid liquidation of Kemach stock until 2023
- Machine sales venture with BLC Plant Company until July 2025
- Sales contract with E-Qwip, a division of Barloworld Equipment & Machinery.
Today, Arch Equipment Sales continues independently with the same values that built our reputation: integrity, quality, reliability, and service excellence.
