Who can apply for a credit account
Credit applications are open to repeat contractors, building companies, civil crews and established businesses that hire plant and machinery on a regular basis. We look for clients who need ongoing access to equipment for projects in Germiston, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Midrand, Durban, Pinetown, Cape Town and Bellville, and who can manage hire terms properly.
An account is usually a good fit if your team places recurring orders, needs fast release on short notice, or wants one monthly statement instead of paying for every hire separately. It is especially useful for sites where work changes by the week and equipment must move quickly between locations.
What to prepare before you submit
To keep the approval process moving, please have your company details ready before you start. Clear documents help us confirm the business, the people authorised to sign, and the kind of hire you need.
- Registered business name and trading name
- Company registration details and VAT number if registered
- Director or member details
- Proof of address for the business
- Banking details for the account
- Trade references where available
- Estimated monthly hire spend or project list
If your site work is seasonal or project based, include that too. It helps us match the account terms to your real cash flow and hiring pattern, instead of guessing.
How the application process works
Once you send the application through the enquiry form on our contact page, our team reviews the details and checks that everything needed is in place. If something is missing, we will ask for it before the file moves ahead. That keeps the process clean and avoids delays later on.
- Step 1: Submit your company and contact details
- Step 2: Send the supporting documents requested
- Step 3: We review the application and references
- Step 4: Credit terms are confirmed if approved
- Step 5: Your account is opened for future hires
For larger site programmes, we may also look at the type of machinery needed, the number of depots involved and whether you will need same-day dispatch, off-hire collections or plant swop-outs across branches.
What approved account customers can expect
Approved account customers can hire from our Germiston base and depot network with a simpler ordering process. Once the account is active, repeat hires can move faster because the basic company and billing checks are already on file. That matters when a generator is needed for load-shedding, scaffolding must be sent to site before first light, or an excavator must be swapped out after a breakdown.
Account customers also benefit from support that fits active sites, including operator supply, fleet planning, on-site servicing, fuel management, safety documentation and weekend support when the programme demands it. For multi-site contractors, this can cut down on admin and reduce hold-ups between depots.
Terms, limits and payment discipline
Every credit account is set up with agreed trading terms and a spending limit based on the information provided. Those terms are there to protect both sides and keep hire control clear. If a project changes suddenly, let us know early so we can check whether the limit needs to be adjusted or whether equipment should be moved between sites.
To keep the account in good standing, payments should be made on time and hire paperwork must stay accurate. Missing off-hire notices, late returns or unrecorded equipment changes can affect billing. Good site admin makes a big difference, especially on long-term hire where items may move around daily and someone needs to track them properly.
When the account team should be told about site changes
Tell us as soon as possible if your project scope changes, your delivery point moves, or your team needs a different machine class. The same applies if municipal restrictions, access issues, wet weather or coastal humidity affect where equipment can stand and how often it needs servicing. Early notice helps us keep the hire practical and avoid wasted trips.
- New site address or access route
- Change in working hours or weekend work
- Equipment swap due to ground conditions or output needs
- Need for extra fuel planning or servicing support
- Account contact person changes
Our depot teams in Germiston, Midrand, Pretoria East, Boksburg, Durban, Pinetown, Cape Town and Bellville work with the same goal: keep your hire moving and your paperwork tidy.
