wing to its regular heavy loading and unloading require-

ments, laser and plasma cutting specialist Fast Flame has

used heavy-duty overhead cranes manufactured by Demag

for over 20 years. This working relationship has been further con-

solidated by a reciprocal business partnership now in its fifth year.

Demag has supplied Fast Flame with all of its 16 overhead cranes,

ranging from six-and-a-half to 32-ton cranes. In the past five

years, Fast Flame has included crane cutting to its services, there-

by prompting further growth for both companies, says Demag re-

gional sales manager Karl Kornberger.

“As part of the ongoing partnership, Demag supplies the material

for the cranes, and Fast Flame completes the cutting and deliv-

ers the final products back to Demag. This not only saves on

costs, but also generates new business and additional earn-

ings,” he says.

Fast Flame MD Mike van Zyl explains that heavy-duty overhead

cranes are more efficient than forklifts. “Cranes are easier to

work with and make the work space more manageable. Demag

has supplied us with cranes for over two decades and because

of the good service and quality we have received, we are proud

to have formed this steady partnership with the company.”

Demag services customers in Gauteng, North West, Free State,

Eastern Cape and the Western Cape. The company not only

supplies the cranes, but also maintains them on behalf of its

customers. For those unable to afford the maintenance plan, main-

tenance training is provided to employees.

“We provide quality service, consultations and offer the right prod-

uct to our customer. That is what keeps them coming back time and

again,” Kornberger concludes.
