Overall lifetime cost will remain lower than cranes offered by rival firms, said the spokesman, while inspection and testing will take place at defined stages during manufacture to ensure compliance with international quality control, safety and lifting equipment standards.
The customers placed their orders in late August 2025. Manufacturing is underway at the company’ s Germiston factory, with delivery to be effected by road. Several crane girders will be spliced to allow packing in standard 12m containers.
Among the cranes included in the international orders are several equipped with high-lift K-Series hoists, in one instance to a height of 40m. These hoists have a proven record in high-lift applications, with the company widely recognised as Africa’ s market leader in this specialised arena. Its installed base includes hoists with controlled lifts as high as 150m.
A company spokesman said there had been close co-operation with the consultants to ensure that agreed prices could remain competitive without compromising the robust reliability required for harsh operating conditions.
Shipping dates were staggered to meet project timetables, with delivery scheduled for late 2025 through to mid-2026. Technicians from Condra will manage installation and commissioning in Sierra Leone, while local agents will carry out these procedures in Tanzania and Namibia. •

The cranes will work in general workshops and feeder-line maintenance applications, with capacities ranging from two to eighteen tons.
