Supply into the DRC’s copper and cobalt mining
The DRC’s demand for lifting and rigging equipment is led by copper and cobalt mining. The country is the world’s largest cobalt producer, and its mining heartland in the southeast, the Haut Katanga and Lualaba provinces around Lubumbashi and Kolwezi, draws much of its equipment through South Africa and Zambia. Toco supplies the chain blocks, lever hoists, slings, steel wire rope and rigging hardware these operations use, drawn from the Vital and Taurus ranges and the wider Toco catalogue, and supplied with certification. Toco has supplied equipment across Southern Africa since 2002.
