One machine. Multiple jobs. Global opportunity.
Cheetah is a rugged, multi-function mobile productivity platform that puts a generator, a welder and an air compressor into one 580 lb machine. It is built for the contractors, utilities, farms, mines and governments that build Africa and the world.
- Patented concept
- Built to ISO 9000 specs
- −40°F to +140°F
3-in-1
Power, welding & compressed air on one platform
Nigeria hub
Ghana launch market
Welding
Up to 350 A multi-process welding: Stick, TIG, MIG and Arc.
Compressed Air
About 40–80 CFM @ 150 PSI from an IR CE55 rotary screw.
Water Purification Next
A planned add-on that makes Cheetah a 4-in-1 machine for remote communities.
The Cheetah advantage
Three essential tools. One powerful machine.
Worksites usually move a separate generator, welder and compressor, and each one needs its own fuel, transport, maintenance and operator. Cheetah puts all three on one trailer-mountable platform. That means fewer machines to mobilize, lower total cost and more work done per day.
- No belts, no pulleys, no chains, no adjustments
- Cold start, with a factory-standard intake heater and oil-pan heater
- Remote shut-off with a 50 ft range
- Trailer mountable, with dual lifting eyes
- Compressor at 1.1 full power output, regulated 0–150 PSI
- Deutz BF4M2011 turbo, oil-cooled 4-cylinder engine
Higher productivity
Lower total cost
Less equipment to maintain

Machine comparison
Same job. A fraction of the weight.
Cheetah against the Lincoln SAE-400 WELD'N and the Big Blue Air Pak CC/CV. Figures are taken from the Cheetah comparison sheet.
Powering Africa naturally
One in Africa. Cheetah Power. Brighter tomorrow.
At 580 lbs, Cheetah weighs a fraction of the competition, which makes it light enough to reach villages, schools and clinics far from the grid. The Cheetah Power Initiative brings that power to the communities that need it most.
- From speed comes energy.
- From energy comes hope.
- From hope comes change.
Clean energySustainable power for every community
Stronger communitiesPowering schools, homes and healthcare
Brighter futuresLighting minds, building tomorrow
Together, let's pull Africa forward.
Weight (lbs)
Cheetah is about 76% lighter than the Lincoln SAE-400.
Fuel use (gal/hr)
Cheetah delivers more output for less fuel than the Lincoln.

Cheetah Africa
Powering people. Building Africa.
Cheetah starts in West Africa. Ghana is the proposed demonstration market, with Nigeria as the regional manufacturing and distribution hub. The plan is to prove the commercial model there, build a West African corridor, and then move into East and Southern Africa.
Cheetah Africa Demonstration Hub
Ghana had Africa's largest announced greenfield project in 2025, an estimated $5B chemicals investment (UNCTAD, via Business Insider Africa). The first customers would be:
The West African corridor
Once the model is proven in Ghana, Cheetah evaluates neighbouring markets one at a time: Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Togo, Senegal and others. It does not try to cover the whole continent at once. The Nigeria hub, near the Lekki Deep Sea Port, handles port intake, regional distribution and local delivery.
East & Southern Africa
East Africa has the continent's largest infrastructure investment need relative to GDP, at 9%, followed by Central Africa at 8% (African Union). Target markets include Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, South Africa, Zambia and Mozambique.

“Cheetah is synonymous with Africa. When I was on the ground in the 2000s, Africa embraced me, and the construction concept I was delivering to government, with tremendous respect. Awareness today is far greater than it was then. This machine, patented and developed by a Black man, will be embraced by all of Africa. Let's go make a difference.”
Global supply chain network
Two continents. One mission.
Two hubs: Denton, Texas for U.S. manufacturing, R&D and global distribution, and Nigeria for regional manufacturing, distribution and growth across the continent. From there, Cheetah expands into Asia and Latin America.
