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 telehandler hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: handling spares, drums and conveyor parts around a plant yard with forks or a jib
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: lifting cladding, steel purlins and services onto a warehouse frame across a rough yard
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: offloading pipes, culvert sections and kerbs along a stormwater or road widening contract
- Housing estates and townships: moving blocks and roof sheeting between stands and loading out materials on a busy township build
- House plots and renovations: lifting roof tiles, trusses and pallets of bricks onto the wall plate of a double-storey house
