Hiring plant in Kimberley
Kimberley hires plant for diamond reprocessing, municipal infrastructure, housing in Galeshewe and surrounding areas, and farms along the Vaal and Riet rivers. Excavators, TLBs, graders and rollers are the most common machines. Thin soils over calcrete, Karoo shale and dolerite mean rock is often close to the surface, so a breaker or ripper is frequently needed for trenches and footings, and old mine areas and kimberlite pipes call for careful site investigation. Rainfall is low and comes mostly in summer thunderstorms between November and March, when gravel roads wash out. The N12 and N8 give good access, but the distances to other towns are long.
Typical forklift hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: moving spares, drums and pallets in a mine stores and workshop
- 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
- 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
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: offloading shopfitting, ceiling boards and fittings at a shopping centre build
