CPHA stands for Contractors Plant Hire Association.
They’re the industry body in South Africa that sets the standard terms and conditions when you hire plant or equipment – like diggers, pumps, cranes, or trucks.
So if you’re renting gear from a plant hire company, chances are they’ll use a CPHA contract. It covers stuff like:
- Who’s responsible if the machine breaks
- What happens if it gets stolen or damaged
- What you owe if there’s downtime
