Hiring plant in Upington
On the Orange River, Upington is an irrigation and solar energy centre where vineyards, raisin and date farms and large solar parks drive demand for excavators, graders, rollers and water bowsers. In town, TLBs dig services, pools and foundations for housing and commercial work. River alluvium and Kalahari sand dig easily but need careful compaction and plenty of water, while granite gneiss and calcrete can require a breaker or ripper. Rainfall is very low and concentrated in late-summer storms between January and April, when flash floods damage gravel roads. Distances are vast, so the float from Kimberley or further afield can outweigh the hire rate on short jobs.
Typical bobcat hire requests in the area come from:
- Farms, dams and game lodges: cleaning out sheds and feedlots, moving feed and drilling post holes for fencing
- 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
- Housing estates and townships: cleaning stands, spreading base and loading waste between rows of new houses
- House plots and renovations: clearing builder's rubble, spreading topsoil and levelling driveways and patios for paving
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: preparing parking areas, sweeping roads and moving pallets around shopping centres and offices
