Rigging company with a handle on difficult Africa conditions

In recent times the machinery,
plant and equipment rigging
company, Lovemore Bros
Logistics, has been busy
developing the neighbouring
African market for its services,
according to director,
Bruce Lovemore.
“Africa is not an easy place
to work,” he said. “It is full of
potholes and malaria, and it
takes commitment and fortitude
to venture north and survive, let
alone prosper.”
But the company proudly
markets itself as “riggers based
in SA, looking to go rigging into
Africa”, and has been steadily
working its way into the continent
over the past couple of years.
“Africa is becoming our
backyard,” Lovemore added. “We
know how to operate in these
challenging conditions, and our
teams are able to execute complex
rigging work in remote locations.”
It can even work round the
fact that power is unavailable
at its worksite, and Lovemore
is adamant that an electrical
outage doesn’t stop them. “For
circumstances like that,” he told
FTW, “we can resort to using our
225-ton modular gantry which runs
off a gas bottle.
“Our mobility is hard to beat.
We can be in neighbouring
countries in 24 hours, with our
rigging gear, ready to work.”
Twenty-one years since it’s
launch, the company offers “a
substantial infrastructure, a reliable
fleet, modern equipment and
skilled personnel that we are able
to call on day after day,”
says Lovemore.
