Hiring plant in Western Cape

In the Western Cape, earthworks follow winter rain rather than summer storms. Bulk earthworks for housing estates, warehouse parks and road upgrades are often pushed into the dry months, because the Cape Flats water table rises and Malmesbury clay turns sticky between May and August. Tracked excavators and dewatering pumps suit the sandy flats, while granite and Table Mountain sandstone on the slopes call for a breaker attachment. Vineyards and orchards across the Boland hire excavators for dams, trenching and land preparation, and Saldanha adds port and industrial work. N1 and N2 traffic sets delivery windows, and the Huguenot Tunnel toll applies to floats heading inland.

Frequently asked questions

What does cherry picker hire cost in Western Cape?
It depends on the cherry picker size, the hours or hire period, whether you need an operator and fuel, and transport to your site. Fill in the hire docket and a plant hire company working in Western Cape will quote you. See plant hire rates for how quotes are built up.
When is the wet season for earthworks in Western Cape?
Most rain in Western Cape falls from May to Aug, about 500 mm a year. Ask how the hire company charges for standing time when rain stops work, and plan bulk earthworks for drier months where you can.
