Brakpan-based crane rental company Sarens Siba successfully supplied its CC1100 crane to a project last year, in Mozambique, during which no time was lost, and no injuries occurred.

“The project had a successful outcome, owing to easy communication between all parties involved. The success is also attributable to the emphasis placed on safety throughout each step of the operation using toolboxes, as well as detailed and accessible lifting concepts complied with by everyone involved,” says Sarens Siba regional sales manager Kolosa Mbuyane.

Sarens Siba deployed its CC1100 crawler crane last year after a careful swing test during the planning phase. The crane was selected with the LH configuration, 7.25 m tracks, 80 t counterweight, and 42 m main boom for an all-day operation.

A special hook block with a 250 t capacity was mobilised from Belgium for this operation; the remaining equipment was already available at the Port of Maputo, owing to a recently completed project in the country.

Mbuyane says it was logistically challenging to import a special hook block of 250 t from Belgium to Maputo using airfreight, owing to the project’s time constraints, which saw import and custom processes needing to be done in a short time to serve the operation.

The CC1100 crane had previously been used for ten months in Gqeberha, for offloading wind turbine components before it was sent for use in Mozambique.

The company is focusing on maintaining and servicing existing cranes to increase their life spans, and offers lifting and engineering solutions in Zambia, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa, Angola and Botswana.

Mbuyane adds that the company aims to expand its blue footprint into countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Namibia and Zimbabwe.

Sarens Siba supplies cranes, heavy lifting solutions and abnormal transport to the oil, gas, mining, power, port works and construction industries.

“There are expansions and new projects in Africa that we are looking at while providing full lifting and engineering solutions to the construction industry,” she concludes.
