Hiring plant in Alberton

Hillside estates in Meyersdal and Brackenhurst, an industrial base around Alrode and large housing projects in Katlehong and Thokoza give Alberton a broad plant hire market. Sloping stands mean retaining walls, terraces and stepped platforms, which call for excavators and compactors, while township roads need graders and rollers. Underfoot is mostly Witwatersrand shale and quartzite, with rock close to the surface on the ridges and clay in the low areas, so a breaker is a useful extra. Between October and March, summer storms create fast runoff and erosion on cut slopes. The N3, N12 and R59 give good access, though morning traffic can delay floats.
