Hiring plant in Rustenburg

Platinum mining dominates Rustenburg's plant hire, from shaft and process plant earthworks to tailings dams, haul roads and rehabilitation. Excavators, articulated dump trucks, dozers, graders and water bowsers are in constant demand, while TLBs serve housing, schools and services in Phokeng, Boitekong and the town itself. The Bushveld norite here weathers to black turf, a strongly heaving clay that is excavated and replaced with selected gravel before roads or slabs go down, and hard norite boulders may need a breaker. Rain arrives in summer storms between October and March and turns black turf into thick, sticky mud. The tolled N4 Platinum Highway gives straightforward float access.
