Plant Hire Kuruman

Working in Kuruman

Kuruman sits on the edge of the Kalahari manganese field, which holds some of the world's largest manganese reserves. It is more remote than the platinum belt, and that remoteness is an advantage for a locally based lessor rather than a disadvantage.

National plant hire firms have thinner coverage here. Transport costs from Gauteng are significant, and a machine dispatched from there is a day's travel away before it starts work. A lessor with plant already in the corridor competes on something the nationals cannot easily match.

Small-scale operators

There is a meaningful small-scale mining sector around Kuruman that cannot justify owning plant but needs it intermittently. Short-term hire, honest rates and a machine that actually arrives matter more to this market than a glossy corporate relationship — and word of mouth through small-scale mining associations travels fast in the Northern Cape.

Consumables to remote sites

Mining Solutions supplies MRO and safety consumables across this corridor, on a just-in-time basis where you would rather not hold stock. Remote sites are exactly where running out of mouthpieces or detector tubes hurts most, and where a supplier who plans ahead earns their place.
