How PlantLynk works.
One flow for contractors looking for a machine, one for owners with plant sitting idle — and if you can't find what you need, post a request and owners come to you. Everyone meets on WhatsApp, with no platform commission in between.
For contractors
Search the live map
See every available machine around your site with real wet & dry rates, owner ratings and reply times. Check the Rate Index so you know the fair price before you talk.
Request to book
Pick your dates and pin your exact site location — the owner sees the travel distance immediately, so the transport quote is honest from minute one. You get a reference and a live tracking link.
Deal direct on WhatsApp
Finalise with the owner directly — no middleman, 0% commission on your hire. Your booking status stays tracked on PlantLynk, and both sides rate each other afterwards.
Can't find the right machine? Let owners come to you.

Get your free storefront
Every owner gets a public web page with their fleet, rates and trust badges — share it on WhatsApp, put it on your bakkie. Booking requests land straight in your dashboard. 0% commission, and plans are free during launch.
Build trust, win work
Fast replies earn a ⚡ reply-time badge; honest bookings earn star ratings. Document vetting earns the green Verified badge — and those owners win the bigger contracts. How vetting works →
