eavy lifting is such a
specialised skill that calls
for both special expertise
and sophisticated equipment.

unmatched in the areas they operate, com-
plemented by two of the largest heavy lift
fleets in southern Africa and Africa at large.

certain lifting contractors in the region, especially on the back of an array
of specialised jobs that require both greater expertise and sophisticated
equipment across several industries such as construction, mining, transport
and energy, writes
