Background
Onsite Plant Hire was established in 2022 by Corné Pretorius, a seasoned expert in the construction and plant hire industry. Recognizing the growing demand for faster, more efficient, and cost-effective plant hire, Pretorius embarked on this venture. In response to South Africa’s economic conditions and the challenges faced by the construction sector, there has been a notable shift among construction companies towards equipment rental and aftermarket services. A report by ResearchAndMarkets.com in 2020 highlighted this trend, indicating that players in the plant hiring market are striving to streamline operations, reduce costs, and capitalize on the rising demand for aftermarket and equipment rental services. With a keen understanding of these market dynamics, Pretorius designed Onsite Plant Hire’s innovative approach to operate with greater efficiency and agility compared to competitors. Their business model aims to meet the evolving needs of the industry while maintaining a lean and effective structure.
“Onsite Plant takes pride in serving diverse sectors with an excellent inventory, unparalleled service, and industry expertise.”
