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 construction equipment for sale requests in the area come from:
- Housing estates and townships: a civil contractor buying excavators and rollers for services and roads in estates
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: a contractor adding loaders and a grader to its fleet for bulk earthworks
- House plots and renovations: a small builder buying a used TLB for foundations, trenches and site clearing
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: a factory buying forklifts and a loader for its own yard and stockpiles
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: a road contractor buying graders, rollers and water trucks for a long contract
