Hiring plant in Kempton Park

With OR Tambo International next door, Kempton Park is dominated by freight, logistics and industrial work in Isando, Spartan and Chloorkop, plus housing and services in Tembisa and Birch Acres. Large warehouse platforms need excavators, dozers, graders, rollers and water carts working together. Ground is mostly Karoo shale and clay, with granite to the west and dolomite near Olifantsfontein, where geotechnical checks are important. Airport height restrictions can affect cranes and other tall equipment, so confirm limits before booking. Thunderstorms from October to March soak open platforms quickly. The R21 and R24 interchanges are busy, so time float deliveries away from peak traffic.
