Hiring plant in Bloemfontein
Mangaung combines a provincial and judicial capital with large farms on its edges, so plant hire covers housing, government buildings, hospitals, schools and municipal road work as well as farm dams and drainage. TLBs, excavators, graders and rollers are the most common hires. Ground is mainly Karoo mudstone and shale that weathers to expansive clay, so foundation trenches are dug deeper and backfill is compacted with care, while dolerite koppies such as Naval Hill need a breaker. Rain falls in summer thunderstorms between November and March, leaving clay sites sticky. Because the N1 and N8 meet here, Bloemfontein is a convenient base for moving plant across the Free State.
Typical forklift hire requests in the area come from:
- Housing estates and townships: moving pallets of paving, blocks and pipes between stores and stands on an estate
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: handling kerbs, precast items and pallets of material at a road camp yard
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: offloading shopfitting, ceiling boards and fittings at a shopping centre build
- Farms, dams and game lodges: loading fruit bins and fertiliser bags at a packhouse or farm store
- House plots and renovations: offloading pallets of bricks, blocks and roof tiles onto a residential building site
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: loading trucks, unpacking containers and stacking racking in a warehouse
