Lovemore expands fleet despite depressed economy

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.”
