Makhunga Cranes and Engineering cc was founded in 2009 by an extremely motivated Annalise Brown and Christopher Brown. The couple first moved to Richards Bay in the early 2000 to for full their life-long dream and passion of starting their own business. Given the opportunity to make a fresh start and do something creative, they decided to make a career out of something that could be extremely challenging as it is not common for a female to own and enter the Crane Industry.
The first steps into the Crane Industry were motivated by the take-over of an existing Crane Company.
Even with its tremendous stress, success was forthcoming due to extreme motivation and dedication. Makhunga Cranes and Engineering remains a small family-owned and -operated business.

We are proud to announce the arrival of the “brand new” SNORKEL TOWABLE BOOM LIFT TL37J (better known in the industry as a Cherry Picker)
The TL37J is a high specification, rugged and reliable towable boom lift that offers safe and time saving operations when working at hights. The articulating boom provides a working hight of 12.9 meters and up to 5.6 meter of outreach. A 1.3-meter jib with 130 degree working arc and powered platform rotation provides additional manoeuvrability. Fully proportional live hydraulic controls ensure the TL37J is simple to use.

This machine requires a qualified operator (with a valid operator’s license). Makhunga Staff members have received the required training and have valid operator’s licenses. Arrangements could be made for the rental of the machine with an operator therefore reducing the stress of obtaining an operator’s license.
