Hiring plant in George
George is the main centre of the Garden Route, with residential estates, retail, hospitals, the airport, and dairy farming and forestry in the surrounding area. TLBs, excavators, graders and rollers are hired for foundations, services, estate roads and farm dams. Weathered granite and shale produce clay soils that slip on steep slopes, while coastal sand around Wilderness and Herolds Bay needs compaction and tracked machines. Rain falls throughout the year rather than in one season, so earthworks need constant drainage, silt control and protection of cut slopes. The N2 and the Outeniqua Pass link George to the coast and the Karoo, and steep climbs slow heavy floats.
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
- House plots and renovations: offloading pallets of bricks, blocks and roof tiles onto a residential building site
- Farms, dams and game lodges: loading fruit bins and fertiliser bags at a packhouse or farm store
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: offloading shopfitting, ceiling boards and fittings at a shopping centre build
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: handling kerbs, precast items and pallets of material at a road camp yard
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: loading trucks, unpacking containers and stacking racking in a warehouse
