Heavy Lift Projects Sasolburg & Naledi

JMB Cranes plans and manages heavy lift projects in Sasolburg, Naledi and the northern Free State. The area is home to some of South Africa’s largest petrochemical and chemical plants, including Sasol’s Sasolburg operations and the Natref refinery, along with the many businesses that supply and support them.

Lifting in these environments is technically demanding. Reactor vessels, columns, heat exchangers and pipework have to be placed precisely, often inside operating plants with strict safety rules.

Heavy Lifts in Petrochemical and Chemical Plants

Process plants run on permits, site inductions and tightly controlled work areas. We plan lifts to fit those systems: the lift plan, risk assessment and lifting procedure are prepared in advance, so your safety team can review them before any crane arrives on site.

Many projects in Sasolburg happen during planned shutdowns, when the work must be finished in a fixed window. We plan cranes, rigging and crews so that the lifting sequence fits the shutdown programme.

Typical Projects in Sasolburg and Naledi

• Process equipment: lifting and placing vessels, columns and heat exchangers.
• Pipework and steel: lifting pipe racks, pipework spools and structural steel modules.
• Shutdown and maintenance lifts: removing and reinstalling plant components during maintenance.
• Supporting industries: machinery installation for the engineering and manufacturing businesses around the plants.

Planned With Precision

Every project starts with a site inspection. We then use rigging simulations and AutoCAD to plan each lift, choosing the crane, rigging and set-up position, and checking clearances around existing plant. That detail matters most where there is little room for error.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you work within a plant’s permit-to-work system?
Yes. We prepare the lift plan, risk assessment and lifting procedure in advance, so they can go through your site’s permit and safety approval process.

Do you plan lifts for plant shutdowns?
Yes. We plan cranes, rigging and crews around the shutdown programme, so lifts are ready to start as soon as the window opens.

Do you cover Naledi and the rest of the northern Free State?
Yes. We work in Sasolburg, Naledi, Zamdela, Vaal Park, Deneysville and the surrounding northern Free State, as well as Vereeniging and Vanderbijlpark.
