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 generator hire requests in the area come from:
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: backing up a shopping centre, office or clinic during load shedding and powering site works
- House plots and renovations: running power tools, a mixer and lights on a new house build before the electrical connection
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: powering lighting towers, pumps and site camps along road, bridge and pipeline contracts
- Housing estates and townships: powering site offices, tools and dewatering pumps on a new housing estate without grid supply
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: standby power for production lines, cold rooms and workshops during outages or maintenance
