No Matter the Cargo, We Handle It
Lovemore Bros provides specialised warehousing and material handling solutions that form a vital link in the supply and logistics chain. With a national footprint spanning Durban, Cato Ridge, Richards Bay and Johannesburg, we are strategically located across South Africa’s key economic, mining, industrial and port hubs.
Our facilities offer bonded storage options and are equipped with heavy lift gantry cranes, overhead gantries, forklifts, and reach stackers, ensuring safe and efficient cargo movement. Whether handling machinery, industrial components, solar equipment, or medical cargo, our qualified rigging teams deliver to the highest standards of safety and compliance.
Beyond storage, we offer container packing and unpacking, custom crating, export packaging, cargo lashing and securing, and specialised cargo handling services. These solutions are designed to safeguard cargo integrity and ensure shipments remain compliant and export-ready throughout their journey.
In addition, we provide integrated transport, staging, and project logistics, coordinating every detail from import/export handling to cross-border movements across Sub-Saharan Africa.
