Hiring plant in North West
Mining on the platinum belt around Rustenburg and Brits keeps excavators, dump trucks, graders and water carts busy, while farming towns further west hire TLBs for dams, feedlots and pipelines. The eastern side sits on Bushveld norite that weathers to black turf, a heaving clay that has to be dug out deep and replaced before slabs or roads go down. Around Potchefstroom and parts of Klerksdorp, dolomite calls for geotechnical sign-off and careful stormwater control. Most rain falls in short, heavy storms between October and March, leaving black turf unworkable for days. Towns are far apart, so check whether a quote includes the float to site and back.
Typical plant hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: load and haul, stockpile management, haul road upkeep, plant maintenance and lifting
- Farms, dams and game lodges: earth dams, contour banks, farm roads, bush clearing and loading feed, bales or produce
- Housing estates and townships: service trenches for water, sewer and electrical, internal roads, stand platforms and stormwater
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: cut and fill, layer works, compaction, culverts, kerbs and pipeline trenches
- House plots and renovations: site clearing, foundation trenches, driveways, pools, retaining walls and rubble removal
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: large terraces and platforms, yard paving layer works, loading and lifting in warehouses
