To produce a quality magazine, containing informed editorial on the latest technological developments in the plant hire and earthmoving equipment industries, by providing detailed technical data on new technology and equipment.

Plant Equipment & Hire (Plant) keeps a finger on the pulse of the capital plant and equipment hire industry. Authoritative editorial on all aspects influencing the application, supply and financing of equipment for hire and purchase is reported.

Published monthly, Plant keeps its readers up-to-date on the latest technological developments by providing detailed technical data on new technology and equipment. Each issue of Plant also features a different item of machinery. This has become a valuable reference source to buyers of construction, mining and quarrying plant equipment.

Plant has reflected the views of the South African plant industry since 1976 and keeps its readers in touch with relevant issues through in-depth interviews with industry leaders. Plant also maintains a close relationship with role-players, from the largest equipment suppliers to the smallest hire operations.

The plant hire industry has become increasingly important in the South African economy, and Plant is continuously enhancing and improving its reach in order to reflect the issues important to this vital sector.

Readership and circulation data is monitored on a daily basis to ensure accuracy and correct targeting. Plant is mailed independently and addressed personally by name, company and job title to a carefully-researched audience.

Plant Equipment & Hire also publishes the annual Equipment Specs Handbook, which features technical specifications of almost a 1 000 machines, ranging from skid-steers through to tower cranes.
