Hiring plant in Johannesburg

Johannesburg plant hire ranges from a single TLB on a suburban stand to bulk earthworks for warehouses, mixed-use blocks and mine-dump reclamation along the old reef. North of the CBD, the Johannesburg granite dome weathers to collapsible sandy soil studded with hard corestones, so excavations often need a breaker and proper compaction testing. South of the ridge, Witwatersrand quartzite and shale make digging harder still, and undermined land needs an engineer's input first. Afternoon storms from October to March flood trenches fast, so pumps are a common add-on. Moving a float through M1, M2 and N1 traffic is slow, so ask for early-morning delivery.

Frequently asked questions

What does tipper truck hire cost in Johannesburg?
It depends on the tipper truck size, the hours or hire period, whether you need an operator and fuel, and transport to your site. Fill in the hire docket and a plant hire company working in Johannesburg will quote you. See plant hire rates for how quotes are built up.
When is the wet season for earthworks in Johannesburg?
Most rain in Johannesburg falls from Oct to Mar, about 700 mm a year. Ask how the hire company charges for standing time when rain stops work, and plan bulk earthworks for drier months where you can.

No. We don't hire, operate or transport anything. We pass your request to independent hire companies, who quote you directly. Give the machine, size, period and site so the quotes are easy to compare.
