Akhanani Cranes expands Verlinde profile

News & events

2nd Quarter 2012 News & events

Akhanani Cranes is an accredited distributer for the world’s premier supplier of hoists and lifting equipment, Verlinde France. The company is now expanding its service and supply of Verlinde products to Rustenburg, the fastest growing city in South Africa, in order to meet the growing need for sophisticated crane and lifting services in mining projects.

Verlinde France is not new to Africa, having supplied cranes to the continent for many years. This latest expansion announcement comes hot on the heels of Verlinde’s further expansion into Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. As cities like Rustenburg develop their infrastructure, Verlinde France is well placed to help them grow.

Verlinde France managing director, Thomas Descamps said, “Mining remains a specialist operation requiring specialist equipment, and Verlinde France is now perfectly placed to help this expanding economy flourish.”

Working in partnership with companies like Johannesburg based Akhanani, the African mining market is clearly on the rise for both companies. “We attribute our success to our strong commitment to customer relationships, and partnerships with the likes of Verlinde France,” said Arno Dahms, managing director of Akhanani Engineering.
