Hiring plant in Cape Town
Cape Town's plant market spans city basements, Atlantic seaboard extensions, northern suburb estates, Cape Flats housing and harbour and logistics work. The ground varies enormously. Cape Flats sand with a high water table needs tracked machines and dewatering, Malmesbury shale weathers to stiff clay, and granite and Table Mountain sandstone on the slopes call for a breaker. Tight, steep stands on the seaboard favour mini excavators and skid steers. The rainy season runs from May to August, so bulk earthworks are usually planned for the dry summer when the water table is lower. Heavy traffic on the N1, N2 and M5 means float deliveries are often booked for early morning.

Typical tipper truck hire requests in the area come from:
- Housing estates and townships: hauling bulk fill and removing spoil from services trenches across new stands
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: removing basement excavations and bringing in G5 fill for a parking area
- House plots and renovations: carting away rubble and excavated soil from a renovation, pool dig or new foundation
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: hauling imported fill and crusher run to a warehouse platform
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: delivering layer works material and removing cut along a road widening
