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 cherry picker hire requests in the area come from:
- Housing estates and townships: fitting street lights, cameras and electric fence brackets along an estate perimeter
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: installing signage, cladding and lighting on a shopping centre or office block
- House plots and renovations: reaching a double-storey roof, gutters or a tall tree in a suburban garden
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: maintaining roof sheeting, lighting and ducting inside a high warehouse
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: fitting overhead signs and maintaining street and bridge lighting
