Hiring plant in Sandton
Space, not size, is usually the problem on Sandton sites. Jobs include basements for office and apartment towers, swimming pools and extensions on big suburban stands, and service trenches in busy streets, so mini excavators, skid steers and compact TLBs are popular, with tippers timed to load and leave quickly. Underfoot is weathered Johannesburg granite with collapsible sandy soil and boulders, which means breaker attachments and lateral support for deep cuts are common requirements. Storms between October and March can fill a basement in an afternoon, making a pump a sensible extra. Traffic around Rivonia Road and the M1 is heavy, so delivery times are agreed in advance.
Typical crane hire requests in the area come from:
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: erecting structural steel, lifting rooftop HVAC units and placing precast panels
- House plots and renovations: lifting a fibreglass pool, steel beams or roof trusses over a house into a back garden
- 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
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: setting heavy machinery, tanks and portal frames on a factory or warehouse floor
