Hiring plant in Cape Town

Cape Town's plant market spans city basements, Atlantic seaboard extensions, northern suburb estates, Cape Flats housing and harbour and logistics work. The ground varies enormously. Cape Flats sand with a high water table needs tracked machines and dewatering, Malmesbury shale weathers to stiff clay, and granite and Table Mountain sandstone on the slopes call for a breaker. Tight, steep stands on the seaboard favour mini excavators and skid steers. The rainy season runs from May to August, so bulk earthworks are usually planned for the dry summer when the water table is lower. Heavy traffic on the N1, N2 and M5 means float deliveries are often booked for early morning.

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
• Shopping centres, offices and schools: preparing parking areas, sweeping roads and moving pallets around shopping centres and offices
• 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
• Roads, pipelines and civil works: sweeping milled surfaces, clearing verges and spreading material along kerbs and sidewalks
