Hiring plant in East London
In East London, plant is hired for work around the river port, the vehicle plant and industrial development zone, and housing in Mdantsane, Beacon Bay and Gonubie. Excavators, dump trucks, rollers and graders handle industrial platforms and roads, while TLBs dig services and foundations. The ground is mostly Karoo mudstone and sandstone with dolerite intrusions, so footings may hit rock that needs a breaker, and coastal sand areas need careful compaction. Steep river valleys such as the Nahoon and Buffalo affect access and slope stability. Rain is spread through the year but heaviest from October to March. The N2 and N6 provide access, though rural routes inland are slow.

Typical roller hire requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: rolling thick fill platforms and yard layers to specified density for a warehouse floor
- Housing estates and townships: compacting internal roads, services trench backfill and stand platforms on a new township
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: compacting subgrade, subbase and base layers behind a grader and water truck on road works
- House plots and renovations: rolling a driveway base or garage platform with a pedestrian or small ride-on roller
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: compacting base layers for parking areas and access roads at a retail or office development
- Farms, dams and game lodges: compacting dam wall layers with a padfoot roller and firming up gravel farm roads
