WHEN IT comes to the transport of abnormal heavy
loads, it’s all in a day’s work for Lovemore Bros
Logistics.
The company was recently awarded the
contract to transport over 1000 tons of
equipment from the Port of Durban to Ugie in
the Eastern Cape.
A number of the items were abnormal in
dimension and mass.
It was up to Lovemore Bros staff to ensure
that the exhaustive arrangements with all the
relevant authorities were in place to ensure a
seamless operation.
“The police from seven different divisional
regions worked alongside us with great dedication
and enthusiasm and proved their competence in
handling a large consignment such as this,” said
joint managing director Bruce Lovemore.
“One poor individual who thought he could
bully his way through the loads was immediately
stopped, arrested and taken to the nearest police
station to explain his impatience. The attention
to detail, skill of drivers and dedication of our
support staff ensured that a safe and efficient
operation was successfully completed on time
and within the parameters set by our client.”
