Heavy haulage South Africa

A common job in the heavy haulage business is the road transport of heavy machines. This can be very special when the machines are actually mobile and could travel on own wheels, just like cranes. But though mobile cranes can travel on their own, it is easier and cheaper sometimes to transport them piggyback. Especially in larger countries, where far distance travels between two job sites are necessary, cranes are often transported by heavy haulage companies.

Many crane hire websites were more looking like stuck in the first sketch instead of being a part of a professional corporate branding.

Nowadays a growing number of crane companies has discovered the importance of the corporate website as a relevant sales channel. You find more and more crane hire companies update and relaunch their websites. Many of them also include social media channels like Twitter or Facebook for spreading news and information about the company and their work. Though many corporate websites now shine in a nice (corporate) design, prepared to offer and sale their service, there is one thing on many websites that always makes me wonder.
