Lovemore adds packing and crating service

In a complementary addition to its well-established machine moving and rigging services, Lovemore Bros has now expanded its product range to include a professional packing and crating service. “In this,” packing and crating manager Thys Pienaar told FTW, “we offer a full in-house and on-site packing service – meeting international standards in packing and securing methods, and in the materials we use.” There’s a wide-range of options in the service, varying from container, special equipment, breakbulk, and abnormal packing to crate manufacturing, corrosion and moisture control, foil/ vacuum bagging, securing and plant relocations. And, like Lovemore Bros machine moving and rigging, the new pack-andcrate function is not just reserved for the local SA market, according to Pienaar. It follows what is now a common statement in the company: “We are based in SA, but we work anywhere in Africa.” Africa has now become like the company’s backyard, according to Pienaar. “We know how to operate in these challenging conditions, and our teams are able to execute complex work in even the most remote locations.” And it’s not only a safeguard for valuable cargo under your control, he added, “but also for your organisation, your buyer and the insurance companies – and guarantees a completely professional and successful transaction. “Just remember that insurance claims, resupply, further shipping costs, cargo damage and corrosion damage cost millions worldwide every year.” The goal at Lovemore, he added, is to continually improve and research the packing industry for more effective and innovative ideas.
