ATS 2000 For Pneumatic And Hydraulic Equipment
ATS is headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa and has been in operation since 1975. The company focuses on designing and manufacturing top quality pneumatic and hydraulic equipment whilst providing services in the following areas: consultancy, solution design and maintenance of products. Their product range includes lifting and pulling equipment, beam clamps, beam trolleys, grinding and cutting equipment, pumps and fasteners. All the products adhere to stringent standards and certifications.
In 1980 Air Tool Services developed the first locally produced “Air Powered Chain Saw”, which was sold directly and indirectly to the mining industry. In the following years it was decided to develop a full range of pneumatic tools and equipment, starting with the Turbo G4 3kw 9” Grinder. This was followed by the designing of the new ATS pneumatic Chain Saw and Vortex Sump Pump. Our pneumatic chain saw won the coveted SABS Design Institute Award in the year 2000

Pneumatic And Hydraulic Equipment Mile stones
In 1996 we acquired TH Mining Equipment, a local Air Hoist manufacturer. Subsequently we have continually developed the range of hoists from 0.25 to 60 tons.
In 2000 ATS 2000 wins the SABS Design Institute Award.
In 2007 we developed a 1” Double Diaphragm Pump.
In 2008 ATS 2000 was accredited with the ISO 9001-2008 Quality Assurance Accreditation. We developed the Rigga Air Wire Rope Winches, covering a range from 500kg to 3 tons.
In 2009, the Rigga pneumatic overhead hoist and powered crawl system for workshops and underground battery bays was introduced.
In 2010 we redeveloped the Vortex Sump Pump and in doing so, it has the ability to produce a higher pump yield with a greater flow throughput. It also conforms to the latest health and safety requirements for noise emissions. We have developed, integrated low noise silencers on our entire product ranges for the mining and industrial industries.
In 2012, we launched a Rapid Rail Cutting & Drilling Machine. It has been positively received by the mining industry, for its time saving and high precision cutting and drilling.
In 2014 we developed the SubSea monorail air hoist system. This enabled applications that were required for aquatic conditions.
In 2015 we designed and built pneumatically powered BOP handling systems. The following year, we introduced a hydraulic version.
In 2017 the 60 Ton air hoist was built which required a totally new load limiter configuration. The development of this hoist was a high point in the time line of ATS 2000. This has allowed us to reach a different class of customer – extending our range of equipment to offer high capacity lifting equipment that is of interest internationally.
Vision – Making a Difference…
Our vision is to be the supplier of choice to customers of heavy duty pneumatic equipment in all sectors of industry.
