Concargo (www.concargo.com), experts in Supply Chain Management activities, has formed a new company called Concargo Abnormal Heavy Haulage. “We are experiencing a growing need for these services and therefore it made sense to start a separate entity which can focus on these specialised services,” says David Kruyer, Concargo CEO.

They will facilitate all heavy lift transport and overland, outsize cargo movements, mobile crane operations, rigging, machinery installation, and large scale project forwarding into South Africa on behalf of the respective networks’ members.

With more than 25 years experience within the freight industry, Bev will be responsible for the project management of the facilitation of including over-border, out-of-gauge, abnormal heavy haulage and domestic freight, as well as rigging and mobile cranage on site.
