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 grader hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: maintaining haul roads, clearing spillage and keeping drainage open around a mine or quarry
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: levelling terraces and yard layers to tight tolerances for a warehouse or logistics park
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: spreading, mixing and trimming gravel and base layers and cutting side drains on road works
- Housing estates and townships: trimming internal estate roads and stand platforms to level before kerbs and paving go in
- House plots and renovations: levelling a large residential stand and shaping a long gravel driveway before paving
