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 plant hire with operator requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: load and haul, stockpile management, haul road upkeep, plant maintenance and lifting
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: large terraces and platforms, yard paving layer works, loading and lifting in warehouses
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: cut and fill, layer works, compaction, culverts, kerbs and pipeline trenches
- 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
