Hiring plant in Mbombela

As the Lowveld's main town, Mbombela sees housing estates, retail, hospitals, citrus and macadamia orchards and lodge construction toward the Kruger Park. Steep hillsides and granite shape most hires: excavators with breakers deal with rock outcrops, while TLBs and compactors build platforms, terraces and driveways. Red residual soils on the hills erode easily, so stormwater control and quick compaction are important. Summers are hot and humid, and heavy rain from October to March can wash out access roads and freshly cut banks. The N4 toll road links Mbombela to Gauteng and Maputo, but the climb up the escarpment makes floating heavy plant a slow trip.
