The business – named Botes & Kennedy (Pty) Ltd after its founders André Botes and Jan Kennedy when established in 1981 - operated for nearly 40 years from its head office in Springbok, says Hindley.  “It was previously the plant hire company of choice for a variety of clients, ranging from those in the mining and industrial sectors to parastatals, and regional and local authorities.”

The high-value items that will on offer at the auction will include a 2007 Tadano TR-200 Ex crane, a 2012 M.A.N Line Explorer 65-seater bus, a 2009 Hino 700 57-450 truck, a 2015 Mitsubishi Fuso single-axle truck with crane, a 2017 Toyota Quantum 2.5 D4D, and a 2016 Toyota Hilux 2.4 GD6.

“Among the construction equipment that is expected to be in demand at the auction will be a 2015 CAT 428 F digger loader; a Macnay L12 gravel spreader; a Macnay sweeper, scaffolding, hydraulic bridge-lifting component system; a Graco M680 motar (mortar?) pump, and much more,” she says.

The auction will be held on site at B & K Plant’s Springbok premises: 2 Tanteliet Street, at 10.30am on Wednesday, 29 August. The auction assets may be viewed at the same address between 9am and 3pm on Tuesday, 28 August.
