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 tool hire requests in the area come from:

• Housing estates and townships: floor saws, poker vibrators and pumps hired for slabs and service trenches across many stands
• Shopping centres, offices and schools: core drills, wall chasers and power floats hired for fit-outs and new floors
• House plots and renovations: drills, tile cutters and a floor sander hired for a renovation or extension
• Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: floor saws and grinders hired for joint cutting and preparing warehouse floors
• Roads, pipelines and civil works: floor saws and water pumps hired for cutting asphalt and draining trenches
