About PlantHire

PlantHire is an on-demand marketplace for hiring heavy plant and equipment — cranes, forklifts, trucks, and earth-moving machinery. Instead of calling around to find available machinery, customers browse live listings, compare rates, place a hire request, and have the equipment delivered to their site. It brings the speed and convenience of modern ride-hailing apps to construction, logistics, agriculture, and events.

The platform is built for two sides of the hire industry. On one side are clients — contractors, site managers, farmers, and businesses who need reliable equipment for a few hours, days, or an entire project. On the other side are operators — equipment owners and fleet managers who want to list their machinery, receive bookings, manage availability, and get paid without the overhead of manual scheduling. Built-in delivery pricing, distance calculation, and compliance document uploads keep every hire transparent and accountable.

PlantHire also includes an admin layer that oversees operator approval, wallet balances, commission, cancellations, and marketplace quality. Payments are handled through secure local wallet top-ups, and every booking is tracked from request through confirmation, delivery, and completion.

PlantHire is developed and maintained by MKCAD Solutions, a team building practical software for the African construction and logistics sector. We believe hiring machinery should be as simple as requesting a ride — fast, transparent, and dependable. For support or partnerships, reach the team on +263 778 161 577 or visit the Contact page.
