This braking system (Spring applied & Air released), is used throughout the industry from as far as the North West region all the way to Zambia.

Our company is based in Kriel (Ga-Nala) in the Mpumalanga region, about 50Km from Witbank (Emalahleni) and 120Km from Gauteng. UBS provides our services from a six thousand square meter facility, providing ample work space on the many vehicles and machines that pass through.
