Plant Hire Kathu
Haul road and earthmoving plant for the Northern Cape's iron ore operations.
Working in Kathu
Kathu serves major iron ore operations, and the plant demand here skews toward haul road work: graders, water bowsers, rollers and haulage. Iron ore operations move enormous tonnages, and every percentage point of haul road condition shows up in cycle times, fuel burn and tyre life.
Why graders matter here
Haul road maintenance is the highest-return earthmoving activity on a large mine, and it is continuous rather than project-based. A grader on a maintenance contract at an iron ore operation is a utilisation profile any plant hire business would want — and it is the reason we prioritise graders in this corridor.
Distance and response
Kathu and Kuruman are close enough to work as one corridor. Machines based here are available to both. Cross-corridor movement to Rustenburg or Brits is 350 to 400 km, which is a planned relocation rather than a call-out.
Consumables and technology
The same site visits that deliver plant carry our Mining Solutions consumables. Digitech's tracking and digital inspection services are particularly relevant here, where fleets are large and haul road cycles are the operational metric that matters.
