Anglo Lifting

What Anglo Lifting does

Anglo Lifting Equipment PTY Ltd (trading as Anglo Lifting) is a South Africa-based, privately held mechanical and electrical services company specializing in the servicing, testing, inspection, and fabrication of overhead cranes and lifting equipment. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Boksburg (Gauteng), the company serves industrial and mining customers, with named enterprise relationships including Anglo American, Liebherr, and ArcelorMittal. The company operates through a fleet of 10 mobile support units that deliver on-site servicing, 24/7 emergency callout, accident investigation, and crane modifications, supported by an in-house repair workshop.

Core technical capabilities rest on a registered base of regulatory credentials rather than proprietary software: the firm holds Lifting Machinery Entity (LME) registration No. 122, conducts compulsory inspections per the Driven Machinery Act 18 (5) and (10) (e), performs annual performance testing to SANS10375 standards, and employs Lifting Machinery Inspectors (LMIs) registered with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA). In-house test rigs (for electric and manual hoists, solid weights, and water bags) anchor the testing capability, while turn-key custom fabrication covers overhead cranes, jib cranes, A-frames, and lifting beams with on-site civil works and electrical connection.

Revenue is generated across four streams: (1) mechanical/electrical servicing and repairs (professional services), (2) regulatory-driven testing and inspection (professional services), (3) custom fabrication and installation (project-based), and (4) hardware sales including agency distribution for Demag, Apex80, Apex100, Titan, TitanW, Titan Tuff, and Vertex lifting brands. Pricing is quote-based with no public rate cards. The go-to-market is direct field sales with field-based service delivery; marketing relies on the company website and direct phone/email contact. Anglo Lifting is a subsidiary within the Anchor Industries Group of Companies and is majority black-owned, holding Level 2 B-BBEE status.

Direct peers

• R&M Materials Handling: R&M is a manufacturer and servicer of industrial cranes, hoists, and crane components with global aftermarket service. Comparable to Anglo Lifting on overhead-crane equipment and service offerings, with the added breadth of component-level service contracts.
• ABUS Kransysteme: ABUS is a European overhead crane and hoist manufacturer offering standard and custom crane systems plus after-sales service. It is directly comparable to Anglo Lifting on overhead-crane engineering, fabrication, and installation, though at a different regional focus.
• Stahl CraneSystems: Stahl CraneSystems manufactures electric wire-rope and chain hoists, crane components, and complete crane systems with associated service. It overlaps with Anglo Lifting's fabrication and service of overhead cranes, hoists, and lifting equipment.
• Demag (Terex Material Handling): Demag is an established overhead crane OEM and servicer that Anglo Lifting already represents as an agent in South Africa. Demag directly competes in crane design, fabrication, installation, and after-sales service, making it the most obvious direct product-line competitor to Anglo Lifting's fabrication and service business.

Broad incumbents

• Cargotec (Hiab / Kalmar / MacGregor): Cargotec's Hiab, Kalmar, and MacGregor business units supply heavy-load handling equipment and lifecycle services to industrial and offshore customers. Comparable to Anglo Lifting in heavy-lift equipment, service support, and customer overlap in industrial ports and heavy industry.
• Liebherr: Liebherr is one of Anglo Lifting's named customers and a major global manufacturer of mobile and crawler cranes with service operations worldwide. Liebherr's own crane servicing arm competes directly with Anglo Lifting in the South African market for overhead crane and heavy-lift equipment maintenance.
• Konecranes: Konecranes is a global leader in overhead cranes and crane maintenance services, with a broad installed base, factory service footprint, and remote-monitoring offerings. It is comparable to Anglo Lifting as a directly competing overhead-crane service provider, but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.

Regional players

• GMTC (SA crane services): GMTC is a South African overhead crane and lifting equipment manufacturer, supplier, installer, and servicer. It overlaps with Anglo Lifting on overhead-crane fabrication, installation, and aftermarket service in the same South African market.
• Crane Africa (Bobcat Africa / Crane-related lifting services in SA): Bobcat Equipment South Africa and related in-country lifting specialists distribute equipment and offer after-sales servicing to South African industrial and mining customers. Comparable to Anglo Lifting as another regional player combining equipment distribution with on-site service.

Emerging players

• Airpes (lifting equipment services): Airpes supplies lifting equipment, load testing, and certification services for industrial cranes and wind-energy installations. It is comparable to Anglo Lifting on load testing, lifting tackle inspection, and regulatory compliance services, though with a heavier emphasis on wind-energy and weigh-handling niches.
