Hiring plant in North West
Mining on the platinum belt around Rustenburg and Brits keeps excavators, dump trucks, graders and water carts busy, while farming towns further west hire TLBs for dams, feedlots and pipelines. The eastern side sits on Bushveld norite that weathers to black turf, a heaving clay that has to be dug out deep and replaced before slabs or roads go down. Around Potchefstroom and parts of Klerksdorp, dolomite calls for geotechnical sign-off and careful stormwater control. Most rain falls in short, heavy storms between October and March, leaving black turf unworkable for days. Towns are far apart, so check whether a quote includes the float to site and back.
Typical forklift hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: moving spares, drums and pallets in a mine stores and workshop
- Farms, dams and game lodges: loading fruit bins and fertiliser bags at a packhouse or farm store
- 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
- 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
