Hiring plant in Upington

On the Orange River, Upington is an irrigation and solar energy centre where vineyards, raisin and date farms and large solar parks drive demand for excavators, graders, rollers and water bowsers. In town, TLBs dig services, pools and foundations for housing and commercial work. River alluvium and Kalahari sand dig easily but need careful compaction and plenty of water, while granite gneiss and calcrete can require a breaker or ripper. Rainfall is very low and concentrated in late-summer storms between January and April, when flash floods damage gravel roads. Distances are vast, so the float from Kimberley or further afield can outweigh the hire rate on short jobs.
