Hiring plant in Kathu
Iron ore built Kathu, and plant hire here leans heavily toward large mining contracts, solar plants, haul roads and housing for mine staff. Excavators, dozers, dump trucks, graders and water bowsers dominate, while TLBs and tippers handle services and housing in town, Sishen and Dingleton. Ground is typically Kalahari sand over hard calcrete and banded ironstone, so tracked machines travel well on the surface and rippers or breakers deal with what lies beneath. The little rain that falls arrives in summer storms, mostly between January and April. Kimberley and Upington are both a long haul away, so transport and standing time form a big part of every quote.
Typical forklift hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: moving spares, drums and pallets in a mine stores and workshop
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: loading trucks, unpacking containers and stacking racking in a warehouse
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: handling kerbs, precast items and pallets of material at a road camp yard
- 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
