Get a load of this …

Seen moving an abnormal load of
equipment at Durban harbour is a new
cargo-handling unit just added to the
equipment fleet of machine-moving and
rigging company, Lovemore Bros.
“The hydraulic boom gantry is a system
which we’ve imported, and which is capable
of lifting loads of up to 250-metric tonnes
to a height of 10-metres,” Bruce Lovemore
told FTW.
The gantry can also travel horizontally
under-load, he added, using a wheel-andtrack
system to which track units are
attached to extend across the distance being
travelled.
The cost or availability of a liquid fuel or
electricity supply is not a concern, according
to Lovemore. “It is driven by an LPG (gas)
powered motor,” he said.
It can also be completely dismantled and
transported anywhere in the country.
“It does away with the need for a
mobile crane and combined allows us to
offer a full-range of loading, off-loading
and transporting services using in-house
equipment,” he said.
