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.
