Hiring plant in Newcastle
Northern KwaZulu-Natal's industrial centre combines steel, textiles and chemicals with coal mining and farming, so Newcastle hires plant for industrial yards, mine haul roads and rehabilitation, farm dams, and housing in Madadeni and Osizweni. Karoo sandstone and shale with dolerite sills create mixed ground, which means a breaker is often needed for trenches, while clay pockets call for deeper footings. Old coal workings in the district make site investigation worthwhile before heavy platforms go in. Thunderstorms between October and March can be heavy, sometimes with hail. The N11 links Newcastle to Ladysmith and Mpumalanga, keeping float costs moderate.
Typical forklift hire requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: loading trucks, unpacking containers and stacking racking in a warehouse
- 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
- Farms, dams and game lodges: loading fruit bins and fertiliser bags at a packhouse or farm store
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: handling kerbs, precast items and pallets of material at a road camp yard
- House plots and renovations: offloading pallets of bricks, blocks and roof tiles onto a residential building site
