Local context
Working in Selby
We service Selby Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Selby, Johannesburg, with access off the M2 and N17. Highveld summers push afternoon ambients past 32 °C with heavy thunderstorm humidity, so condensers here are sized with a generous approach and cleaned before every summer.

FAQ
Bitzer compressor rack installation in Selby
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a airfreight perishable handling site in Selby?
Selby sits on the M2 and N17, so our Johannesburg dispatch reaches most Selby Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency compressor rack installation runs 24/7 because ramp exposure breaks the chain before uplift.
Do you stock OEM components for Bitzer systems?
Yes — Genuine Bitzer valve plates, gasket sets, oil pumps and OLC-D1 protection modules. Bitzer (Germany) equipment on R134a/R744 charges is supported with the fast-moving spares held at our Pretoria North workshop and non-stock items brought in on OEM order.
What pressure testing and gas compliance certificates are provided?
Every compressor rack installation job closes with a pressure test record and gas handling Certificate of Conformance issued under SANS 10147 by a SAQCC Gas registered technician, plus the IATA PCR documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Airfreight Perishable Handling run at +2 °C to +8 °C at 85–90% RH, with compressor rack installation performed against −40 °C to +5 °C suction groups. Ramp exposure breaks the chain before uplift
