Hiring plant in Stellenbosch
University growth, residential estates and some of the country's best-known wine farms keep plant working around Stellenbosch. Farms hire excavators and TLBs for dams, vineyard preparation and irrigation, while the town needs foundations, services and road upgrades. Ground ranges from granite with boulders to Malmesbury shale clay and Table Mountain sandstone on the mountain slopes, so breakers are frequently needed and clay sites need proper drainage. Winter rain between May and August makes farm roads muddy and can halt earthworks. Narrow historic streets, heritage controls and traffic on the R44 and R310 mean compact machines and careful delivery timing are often the best approach.
Typical forklift hire requests in the area come from:
- 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
- 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
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: handling kerbs, precast items and pallets of material at a road camp yard
