MechChem Africa talks to Henry Fourie of Rand Air about the transformative evolution of the rental landscape in Sub Saharan Africa.
Wednesday 24 January, 2024 was a usual busy day at Rand Air with machine hires going in and out of the yard in Jet Park, Johannesburg, when a frantic call came in from a prominent platinum mine near Rustenburg in the North West Province, urgently requesting 12 000cfm (cubic feet per minute) of compressed air to keep their underground mining operations going.
Esteemed rental specialist, Rand-Air, is committed to a continued investment in the expansion and renewal of its comprehensive hire fleet in a bid to offer industry a wide and flexible choice of superior quality, reliable and efficient machines. The company is hire partner of choice for a wide range of industrial sectors across Southern Africa including petrochemical, power generation, food & beverage, automotive, utilities and construction.
Rand-Air, a front-runner in the portable air and power rental industry in Southern Africa, again successfully completed a back-to-back hire shut down for a long-standing platinum mine customer during the first quarter of 2022.
Customers in the portable air and power industries across Southern Africa have been relying on Rand-Air as a trusted rental partner for over 49 years. The company’s extensive rental fleet of oil-free and oil-injected air compressors, diesel- and electric-powered screw air compressors, diesel generators, and lighting towers, was recently expanded to include water pump solutions.
The employee safety and health narrative is on the global lips of mining and industry. The objective of keeping a business’s most value asset, its personnel, safe and preventing risk of injury or worse, rightfully finds itself on top of most agendas.
Our Henry Fourie, Rand-Air inland area manager, was interviewed by Tracy Hancock from Engineering News about the current power crisis in Southern Africa. Rand-Air offers power generators, transformers and power accessories for rental. Make Rand-Air your first call in a power crisis.
