Hiring plant in George
George is the main centre of the Garden Route, with residential estates, retail, hospitals, the airport, and dairy farming and forestry in the surrounding area. TLBs, excavators, graders and rollers are hired for foundations, services, estate roads and farm dams. Weathered granite and shale produce clay soils that slip on steep slopes, while coastal sand around Wilderness and Herolds Bay needs compaction and tracked machines. Rain falls throughout the year rather than in one season, so earthworks need constant drainage, silt control and protection of cut slopes. The N2 and the Outeniqua Pass link George to the coast and the Karoo, and steep climbs slow heavy floats.

Typical plant hire with operator requests in the area come from:
- Housing estates and townships: service trenches for water, sewer and electrical, internal roads, stand platforms and stormwater
- House plots and renovations: site clearing, foundation trenches, driveways, pools, retaining walls and rubble removal
- Farms, dams and game lodges: earth dams, contour banks, farm roads, bush clearing and loading feed, bales or produce
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: bulk earthworks, basements, parking areas, lifting steel and cladding, and site power
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: cut and fill, layer works, compaction, culverts, kerbs and pipeline trenches
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: large terraces and platforms, yard paving layer works, loading and lifting in warehouses
