World-class equipment is only one element of a sustained drive for excellence, and, in turn, the provision of a world-class service.

“The company operates in South Africa,” it explains, “and would like to expand to the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa in the near future.” Of the various markets in which Sandton Plant Hire is currently active, the principal contributors range through anthracite, chrome, gold, coal and iron ore, with a workforce of more than 2000 comprising the group as a whole.

SAFETY FIRST
The benefits of stringent safety standards within an organisation such as this speak for themselves, but in fact go way beyond the obvious: enhanced ergonomics, improved productivity and a resultant conformance to quality standards, as well as reduced operating cost and enhanced client satisfaction are further lucrative reverberations.
It is something which preoccupies Sandton Plant Hire to a near-unprecedented degree. “Safety is an utmost determining factor in every facet of our operational philosophy,” it underlines, “with a specific pertinence to productivity, reputation, employee relations and financial results.
“Our management is committed to maintain a healthy and safe working environment for all our employees.
“Our machinery represents a number of internationally renowned manufacturers whose products are designed to meet the strict emission and safety control regulations that apply to the industrialised first-world countries,” the company affirms. Famed for the utmost care of its competent, loyal and expert employees, in a sustained bid to create an enabling environment for BBBEE, Sandton Plant Hire engages in numerous empowerment initiatives: social upliftment projects, partnering with black-owned entities and accelerating skills development to name but a few.
“We attach great importance to the education of our younger management members – sponsoring programmes for tomorrow’s leaders and seminars for managers,” adds Sandton Plant Hire. “We have strong, committed management members who can ensure that their clients are given the best professional and personal service.
“Our companies have a reputation for service excellence,” the organisation concludes. “A reputation that has been built by consistently supplying quality people and the right equipment in an efficient and timely manner.
