Babcock: Integrated Plant, Crane, Welding and Power Solutions
At Babcock, we know that reliability, safety and coordination drive success in industrial and petrochemical projects. Our Plant Hire Services combine crane and gear hire, welding and generator solutions into one integrated offering – helping customers simplify logistics, improve uptime and maintain performance on complex sites.
Comprehensive Industrial Support
Babcock provides a complete fleet of mobile cranes, transport and rigging equipment to handle everything from light lifts to heavy module installations. Our licensed crane fleet spans 8 to 500 tons, supported by crane trucks, lowbeds and extendable trailers up to 65 tons for oversize loads. Each unit is rigorously maintained, inspected and tracked through a QR-code asset management system that records usage and service history for full lifecycle visibility.
By coupling lifting and transport with gear hire, rigging expertise and machine relocation, we deliver safe, efficient lifting operations backed by skilled operators and engineers who understand industrial complexity.
Welding Equipment and Consumables
Babcock’s welding business complements our broader industrial offering by supplying high-performance welding machines, consumables and accessories from globally recognised brands. We provide solutions for arc, MIG, TIG and plasma cutting, alongside specialised products such as welding torches, wire feeders, PPE and safety gear.
Our customers benefit from technical advice, after-sales support and repair services, ensuring equipment remains efficient, compliant and ready for demanding industrial use. By combining supply, service and expertise, Babcock helps fabricators and contractors maintain productivity while managing total cost of ownership.
Generator and Power Hire
Reliable power is essential on every project. Babcock’s diesel generator fleet provides dependable supply for construction sites, plant operations and emergency backup.
We offer fully maintained generator packages, switchgear, load banks and distribution systems – all supported by Babcock technicians for installation, fuel management and service.
Integrated with our welding services and lifting operations, these solutions create a self-sufficient, continuous workflow even in remote or power-limited environments.
Safety and Assurance
Safety is the foundation of everything we do. Our operations meet ISO and OHSAS standards, with strict inspection, maintenance and operator training programmes. We live our “Home Safe Every Day” principle – ensuring that people, plant and partners return safely after every shift. Clients trust Babcock because we deliver not just equipment, but assurance: that every lift, weld and connection is executed with discipline and accountability.

With over a century of engineering heritage, Babcock remains a trusted partner to Africa’s energy, petrochemical, construction and process sectors. Our integrated approach brings together all the essential elements of project delivery – cranes, welding, power and plant – into one reliable service.
