Mining & Mineral Industry Solutions

Engineered logistics for high-risk, high-value mine sites

Mining operations demand accuracy, timing and uncompromising safety. Lovemore Bros supports surface and underground operations across Southern Africa with turnkey machinery logistics, rigging, mechanical and transport solutions — engineered for high-risk, time-sensitive work in confined and heavy-duty environments. With over 35 years of execution across coal, platinum, chrome, copper, manganese, diamond and mineral sands operations, our teams mobilise quickly and deliver safely under the most demanding shutdown and production pressures.

Our Rigging crew and Crane Truck Operators are certified, trained and experienced in the rigging field and can handle anything from old school jack and pack rigging to modern, innovative and computerised PLC-driven rigging equipment.
