Hiring plant in North West
Mining on the platinum belt around Rustenburg and Brits keeps excavators, dump trucks, graders and water carts busy, while farming towns further west hire TLBs for dams, feedlots and pipelines. The eastern side sits on Bushveld norite that weathers to black turf, a heaving clay that has to be dug out deep and replaced before slabs or roads go down. Around Potchefstroom and parts of Klerksdorp, dolomite calls for geotechnical sign-off and careful stormwater control. Most rain falls in short, heavy storms between October and March, leaving black turf unworkable for days. Towns are far apart, so check whether a quote includes the float to site and back.
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
- Farms, dams and game lodges: lifting silo sections, water tanks and pivot parts or offloading containers
- Housing estates and townships: placing precast culverts, manholes and electrical kiosks along new estate roads
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: lifting precast bridge beams, culvert sections and gantry signs into position
- House plots and renovations: lifting a fibreglass pool, steel beams or roof trusses over a house into a back garden
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: setting heavy machinery, tanks and portal frames on a factory or warehouse floor
