Hiring plant in George

George is the main centre of the Garden Route, with residential estates, retail, hospitals, the airport, and dairy farming and forestry in the surrounding area. TLBs, excavators, graders and rollers are hired for foundations, services, estate roads and farm dams. Weathered granite and shale produce clay soils that slip on steep slopes, while coastal sand around Wilderness and Herolds Bay needs compaction and tracked machines. Rain falls throughout the year rather than in one season, so earthworks need constant drainage, silt control and protection of cut slopes. The N2 and the Outeniqua Pass link George to the coast and the Karoo, and steep climbs slow heavy floats.
