Hiring plant in Kathu
Iron ore built Kathu, and plant hire here leans heavily toward large mining contracts, solar plants, haul roads and housing for mine staff. Excavators, dozers, dump trucks, graders and water bowsers dominate, while TLBs and tippers handle services and housing in town, Sishen and Dingleton. Ground is typically Kalahari sand over hard calcrete and banded ironstone, so tracked machines travel well on the surface and rippers or breakers deal with what lies beneath. The little rain that falls arrives in summer storms, mostly between January and April. Kimberley and Upington are both a long haul away, so transport and standing time form a big part of every quote.

Typical front end loader hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: loading haul trucks, feeding crushers and managing stockpiles at mines and quarries
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: building platforms with imported fill and working material stockpiles in logistics yards
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: loading gravel and crushed stone and moving layer-works material along road projects
- Housing estates and townships: moving bulk fill and loading trucks from stockpiles during township earthworks
- House plots and renovations: loading sand, stone and rubble onto trucks where a large residential site has open space
