Hiring plant in Limpopo

Work in Limpopo is spread over enormous distances, from coal and platinum mining in the Waterberg and around Mokopane to irrigation farms along the rivers and steady housing growth in Polokwane and Thohoyandou. Ground swings between deep sandy soils, granite outcrops that call for a breaker or a heavier excavator, and pockets of black clay that must be removed before building. Rain comes as heavy thunderstorms from October to March, flooding gravel access roads and low-water bridges, while the dry winter brings dust that a water cart keeps down. Haulage is the hidden cost: a float from Polokwane to a remote farm or mine can take a full day.

Typical telehandler hire requests in the area come from:

  • House plots and renovations: lifting roof tiles, trusses and pallets of bricks onto the wall plate of a double-storey house
  • 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
  • Shopping centres, offices and schools: placing materials on upper slabs and scaffold landings for a school, clinic or office block
