Independent Plant Hire Johannesburg

About Elchom Group

Over 15 Years of Independent Plant Hire & Civil Contracting in Gauteng Elchom started in 2010 with a simple brief: give local contractors dependable yellow metal and site works without the runaround. Today we operate as Elchom Group (Pty) Ltd (Reg: 2020/691987/07), and that brief hasn’t changed. When a site manager needs a TLB, a lowbed, a compressor or a tipper truck, they want a straight price, a confirmed delivery time and a machine that arrives working.

Our Base at JBR Centre, Alberton-North

Our office and parts counter is at JBR Centre, Shop Nr M8, 127 Louis Trichardt Road, 5th Ave, Alberton-North, Johannesburg, 1449. That puts our fleet and our spares stock at the transport junction between Johannesburg, the East Rand and the N3 corridor. From here we dispatch to Johannesburg, Sandton, Randburg, Midrand, Boksburg, Alberton, Centurion and Pretoria. Contractors can also walk in, collect parts or talk through a job in person.

Plant Hire, Civil Works and Spares Under One Roof

Most site problems get worse when one job needs four suppliers. A machine hire company doesn’t break rock, the rock breaker doesn’t haul rubble, and the parts supplier doesn’t know your machine. As one of the plant hire contractors in Gauteng that handles all of it, Elchom keeps these under one roof:

  • Our own fleet plus vetted partners: we rent out our own machines and bring in trusted subcontractors when a quote needs more than we hold, so you get one quote and one invoice.
  • Chemical rock breaking on site: non-explosive chemical rock breaking for urban sites, confined spaces and trenches near live services. It’s civil engineering plant hire and site works from one contractor.
  • Rubble haulage: per-load rubble removal and bulk earthworks haulage with tipper trucks.
  • Rapid parts sourcing: as one of the earthmoving equipment suppliers in Gauteng, we sourced Natasha’s counter to find the part fast, whether it’s new, aftermarket or dismantled from decommissioned stock.
