Hiring plant in Bloemfontein
Mangaung combines a provincial and judicial capital with large farms on its edges, so plant hire covers housing, government buildings, hospitals, schools and municipal road work as well as farm dams and drainage. TLBs, excavators, graders and rollers are the most common hires. Ground is mainly Karoo mudstone and shale that weathers to expansive clay, so foundation trenches are dug deeper and backfill is compacted with care, while dolerite koppies such as Naval Hill need a breaker. Rain falls in summer thunderstorms between November and March, leaving clay sites sticky. Because the N1 and N8 meet here, Bloemfontein is a convenient base for moving plant across the Free State.
Typical bobcat hire requests in the area come from:
- Housing estates and townships: cleaning stands, spreading base and loading waste between rows of new houses
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: sweeping milled surfaces, clearing verges and spreading material along kerbs and sidewalks
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: preparing parking areas, sweeping roads and moving pallets around shopping centres and offices
- Farms, dams and game lodges: cleaning out sheds and feedlots, moving feed and drilling post holes for fencing
- House plots and renovations: clearing builder's rubble, spreading topsoil and levelling driveways and patios for paving
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: cleaning factory yards, moving materials and sweeping warehouse aprons and loading bays
