Standing up to the worldwide
recession in the road transport
industry, the Durban-based
machine-moving and rigging specialist,
Lovemore Bros, has continued to add to
its extensive vehicle fleet.
It is an integral part of the company’s
philosophy, according to director
Bruce Lovemore.
“Even in the face of depressed times
in the business and economy generally,”
he told FTW, “a committed supplier
needs to continue to invest in new,
sophisticated equipment to provide his
client with the most modern, up-to-date
engineering solutions.”
The company’s latest acquisition
of four new Volvo trucks is proof of
this commitment.
Each vehicle has been uniquely
assembled to provide cover for a
specific area of application in the
rigging industry.
From a mechanical horse sequenced to
pull a 100 ton load to a crane truck with
a rear mount 66 ton metre crane operated
by remote control.
“This ‘wireless’ type of operation,”
said Lovemore, “is in line with the highly
regarded European safety standards, and
meets our overall focus on safety.”
