EARTHMOVING
POWERPLUS Group concluded its attendance at MINECON 2026, Zimbabwe’s leading mining and construction exhibition, held from 17–19 September 2026 at A.R.T. Farm, Pomona, Harare. The exhibition provided a strategic platform to connect with mining operators, contractors, fleet owners, and industry professionals while advancing POWERPLUS’s long-term commitment to supporting Zimbabwe’s mining and construction sectors.
The event also marked an important step in POWERPLUS’s regional expansion strategy: strengthening its reach in Zimbabwe through a local dealer partnership, bringing customers closer to reliable equipment supply, technical support, spare-parts availability, and after-sales service.
During MINECON 2026, POWERPLUS Group was pleased to welcome Dr. Polite Kambamura, Minister of Mines and Mining Development of Zimbabwe, who dropped by the company’s booth. The visit provided an opportunity to introduce POWERPLUS’s heavy machinery portfolio and discuss equipment solutions for safe, efficient, and productive mining operations.
As a mining engineer and the Minister responsible for Zimbabwe’s mining and mining-development portfolio, Dr. Kambamura’s visit reflected the importance of modern equipment, local service capability, and international cooperation in supporting the country’s mining sector.
The POWERPLUS team presented machinery designed for demanding mining and construction applications, including excavators, dump trucks, wheel loaders, bulldozers, motor graders, and material-handling equipment. Discussions focused on equipment productivity, durability, fuel efficiency, operator safety, and dependable after-sales support.
POWERPLUS regards the Minister’s visit as a positive endorsement of its commitment to Zimbabwe and an important step in building long-term relationships with local mining companies, contractors, and industry stakeholders.
Zimbabwe remains one of Southern Africa’s most important mining markets, with production and investment activity concentrated in gold, platinum-group metals, chrome, coal, lithium, and other critical minerals. The country’s mining sector is projected to grow by 5.6% in 2026, supported by favourable commodity prices, rising export earnings, and continued investment in mining operations and processing capacity.
This growth creates increasing demand for durable earthmoving, hauling, loading, and material-handling equipment capable of operating reliably in demanding mine-site conditions. From open-pit loading and haulage to site preparation, road maintenance, and material handling, equipment uptime directly affects production output, operating cost, and project profitability.
POWERPLUS attended MINECON 2026 to engage directly with Zimbabwean customers and understand their operational priorities, including:
Equipment durability in high-dust, high-load mining environments.
Fuel efficiency and total cost of ownership.
Availability of genuine spare parts and consumables.
Responsive technical service and preventive maintenance support.
Operator safety, cabin comfort, and machine productivity.
Financing, dealer support, and long-term fleet solutions.
Establishing a strong local dealer network is central to POWERPLUS’s international market-development strategy. A dealer partnership enables customers to access equipment, parts, service expertise, and technical advice locally, reducing downtime and improving fleet availability across mine sites and construction projects.
Through its Zimbabwe dealer relationship, POWERPLUS aims to provide customers with a more complete ownership experience:
Local sales consultation and equipment recommendations.
Genuine POWERPLUS spare-parts supply.
Preventive maintenance and technical service support.
Operator familiarization and product training.
Warranty administration and after-sales coordination.
Dealer-supported lead generation, demonstrations, and customer follow-up.
POWERPLUS has a long-standing international presence in heavy construction and mining equipment, offering a broad product portfolio that includes excavators, bulldozers, motor graders, wheel loaders, cranes, forklifts, dump trucks, earthmoving equipment, and spare parts.
Mining environments place exceptional demands on equipment. Machines must withstand abrasive material, dust, heat, uneven terrain, long operating hours, and continuous loading cycles. POWERPLUS machinery is engineered for durability, productivity, and dependable performance in these conditions.
POWERPLUS excavators support open-pit mining, quarrying, bulk loading, trenching, and site-development applications. Their combination of digging force, hydraulic performance, stability, and operator-focused design helps contractors maintain consistent production rates across demanding work cycles.
Reliable haulage is essential to mine-site efficiency. POWERPLUS dump trucks are designed for demanding transport applications, supporting the movement of ore, overburden, aggregates, and construction materials across mine roads and project sites.
Wheel loaders and bulldozers play a critical role in stockpile management, loading, clearing, levelling, and site maintenance. POWERPLUS equipment is designed to support high-utilization operations where machine availability and consistent performance are essential.
Well-maintained haul roads reduce machine wear, improve fuel efficiency, and support safer transport operations. POWERPLUS motor graders help mining and construction operators maintain site roads, drainage, and access routes for safer and more efficient fleet movement.
MINECON is positioned as Harare’s leading mining and construction exhibition, covering equipment, suppliers, professional services, and the wider industry value chain. For POWERPLUS, the exhibition was an opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to the Zimbabwean market beyond a one-off product showcase.
The company’s participation focused on building practical, long-term partnerships rather than simply presenting machinery. By working closely with a local dealer, POWERPLUS can respond more effectively to customer needs, provide faster support, and help customers select equipment suited to their site conditions, production targets, and budget requirements.
For mining and construction customers, purchasing heavy machinery is a long-term investment. Equipment selection must consider not only purchase price, but also operating efficiency, parts availability, service response, resale value, and lifecycle cost.
POWERPLUS’s approach in Zimbabwe reflects these priorities:
Durable equipment design for demanding mining and construction applications.
Local dealer support to improve accessibility and service response.
Genuine parts availability to protect machine uptime and performance.
Technical expertise to support correct machine selection and maintenance planning.
Long-term partnership to support fleet growth and evolving customer requirements.
POWERPLUS Group’s participation in MINECON 2026 reinforces its commitment to supporting Zimbabwe’s mining and construction industries with dependable heavy machinery and a stronger local service network. As mining operations continue to expand and modernize, the company will focus on delivering equipment solutions that improve productivity, reduce downtime, and support safer, more efficient site operations.
