Plant Hire Businesses for sale in South Africa

Reconcile every machine, attachment and trailer to serial numbers, invoices, finance agreements and asset registers. Physically inspect locations and exclude customer, supplier or subcontractor equipment before calculating the unencumbered fleet value included in the sale.

Identify equipment subject to lifting-machinery rules and review load tests, examination certificates, maintenance and defect records from properly registered or approved providers. Remove overdue or failed equipment from available capacity until compliant and safe.

Match each machine to the competence, medical fitness and site requirements applying to its operators. Verify training records and expiry dates, and identify revenue dependent on one operator, supervisor or subcontractor who may not remain after completion.

Read terms for delivery, operator supply, fuel, damage, theft, downtime, deposits and insurance. Reconcile open hires to physical locations and customer confirmations, then quantify disputed damage, missing attachments and equipment awaiting off-hire inspection.

Calculate utilisation, rate and contribution by asset after transport, operators, fuel, repairs, finance and idle days. Compare telematics, hour meters, job records and invoices, and price near-term rebuilds or replacements into the valuation.

Check registration, roadworthiness, operator and permit requirements for machines, trucks and trailers used on public roads. Review overload fines, accidents, abnormal-load arrangements and insurer conditions, including transport performed by external hauliers.
