Hiring plant in Kimberley

Kimberley hires plant for diamond reprocessing, municipal infrastructure, housing in Galeshewe and surrounding areas, and farms along the Vaal and Riet rivers. Excavators, TLBs, graders and rollers are the most common machines. Thin soils over calcrete, Karoo shale and dolerite mean rock is often close to the surface, so a breaker or ripper is frequently needed for trenches and footings, and old mine areas and kimberlite pipes call for careful site investigation. Rainfall is low and comes mostly in summer thunderstorms between November and March, when gravel roads wash out. The N12 and N8 give good access, but the distances to other towns are long.

Frequently asked questions

What does front end loader hire cost in Kimberley?
It depends on the front end loader size, the hours or hire period, whether you need an operator and fuel, and transport to your site. Fill in the hire docket and a plant hire company working in Kimberley will quote you. See plant hire rates for how quotes are built up.
