Hiring plant in Sandton

Space, not size, is usually the problem on Sandton sites. Jobs include basements for office and apartment towers, swimming pools and extensions on big suburban stands, and service trenches in busy streets, so mini excavators, skid steers and compact TLBs are popular, with tippers timed to load and leave quickly. Underfoot is weathered Johannesburg granite with collapsible sandy soil and boulders, which means breaker attachments and lateral support for deep cuts are common requirements. Storms between October and March can fill a basement in an afternoon, making a pump a sensible extra. Traffic around Rivonia Road and the M1 is heavy, so delivery times are agreed in advance.

Typical forklift hire requests in the area come from:

• Shopping centres, offices and schools: offloading shopfitting, ceiling boards and fittings at a shopping centre build
• House plots and renovations: offloading pallets of bricks, blocks and roof tiles onto a residential building site
• 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
• Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: loading trucks, unpacking containers and stacking racking in a warehouse

Why get a quote in Sandton first?

What to include in your request

• Give the heaviest load and lift height
