A Ground-Breaking Feedlot Solution
UD Trucks Lichtenburg has proudly partnered with Diamond Implements to create a smart, effective, and profitable feeding solution for the Feedlot Industry. Diamond Implements identified a need for a quality delivery feed wagon for large-scale feedlots that can deliver the feed quickly and efficiently to the kraal, and be back in time to receive the next load of TMR Feed. This was only possible with a truck-mounted feeder.
This is where the expertise of UD Trucks Lichtenburg came in. As a value-added transport solution provider since 2011, the company delivered the best suited truck to form the perfect partner for the Feeder from Diamond Implements. Building on the established relationship between the two companies since 2017, Diamond Implements has subsequently delivered several Truck-Mounted Feeders to the Feedlot Industry.

More About Diamond Implements
Diamond Implements has been manufacturing feed mixers since 1974 and will continue to offer quality products and service support to farmers large and small. As a proudly South African feed mixer manufacturer, being based locally certainly has its advantages when it comes to providing crucial parts, service and other components. Knowing the importance of downtime on dairies and feedlots, any delay in service or unavailable parts is not an option for Diamond Implements.
The company manufactures and stocks their own parts, not relying on imports like most other feed mixer importers and agents in South Africa.
