About Mokwele Plant Hire
Mokwele Plant Hire is a leading heavy equipment and plant hire company built on vision, resilience, and an uncompromising commitment to reliability.

This diverse offering allows clients to source multiple equipment solutions from one reliable provider, ensuring efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and seamless project execution.
A significant milestone in the company’s growth came through its expansion into mining and large-scale industrial contracts. Working across coal, chrome, and iron ore operations, as well as supporting power station projects, Mokwele Plant Hire has established itself as a dependable contractor capable of meeting the rigorous demands of heavy industry.
Reliability remains the cornerstone of the business. Through proactive maintenance systems, skilled operators, and continuous investment in quality machinery, the company ensures maximum uptime and operational excellence.
