Hiring plant in Kathu
Iron ore built Kathu, and plant hire here leans heavily toward large mining contracts, solar plants, haul roads and housing for mine staff. Excavators, dozers, dump trucks, graders and water bowsers dominate, while TLBs and tippers handle services and housing in town, Sishen and Dingleton. Ground is typically Kalahari sand over hard calcrete and banded ironstone, so tracked machines travel well on the surface and rippers or breakers deal with what lies beneath. The little rain that falls arrives in summer storms, mostly between January and April. Kimberley and Upington are both a long haul away, so transport and standing time form a big part of every quote.
Typical crane hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: changing heavy components, lifting conveyor sections and moving plant at a process plant
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: setting heavy machinery, tanks and portal frames on a factory or warehouse floor
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: lifting precast bridge beams, culvert sections and gantry signs into position
- Housing estates and townships: placing precast culverts, manholes and electrical kiosks along new estate roads
- House plots and renovations: lifting a fibreglass pool, steel beams or roof trusses over a house into a back garden
