Proven engineering deployment across the African continent.
Commissioned by a major telecom operator expanding infrastructure in Dakar and surrounding regions. The fleet required robust multi-stage RHD to LHD conversions capable of withstanding severe corrugated road conditions and extreme dust.
| Dashboard & Cabin | Full OEM LHD Dash Shell installation. Re-routed AC ducting for optimal tropical climate performance. |
|---|---|
| Steering Geometry | OEM LHD Rack & Pinion. High-pressure hydraulic lines custom fabricated in-house to exceed standard burst pressure tolerances. |
| Electrical Systems | Main harness lengthened by 850mm. All splices completed using military-spec heat shrink and solder rings to prevent moisture ingress. |
| Compliance Status | Passed Senegalese Ministry of Transport import homologation on first inspection. |
A highly specialized heavy-duty conversion project for a remote mining operation in the dense jungle terrain of Gabon. The legendary Y61 platform required not only LHD conversion but extreme structural reinforcement to the firewall blanking plates.
| Firewall Modification | Laser-cut 3mm steel blanking plates welded and seam-sealed to OEM standards. Acoustic and thermal matting applied to LHD specifications. |
|---|---|
| Braking System | Master cylinder relocated to LHD position. Custom Cupro-Nickel hard brake lines routed along chassis rails to avoid terrain impact zones. |
| Pedal Box | Heavy-duty reinforced clutch and brake pedal assemblies installed to withstand constant mud and operator boot impact. |
| Quality Control | Subjected to 48-hour water ingress testing post-conversion to guarantee cabin sealing in monsoon conditions. |
Instead of converting in the UK, this project involved supplying full LHD conversion kits directly to our partner depot in Lagos. LMN deployed a 3-man training team to certify the local mechanics over a 4-week period.
| Kit Supply | 80 comprehensive LHD component crates shipped via sea freight, including dashboards, racks, and customized wiring looms. |
|---|---|
| Technical Training | Local technicians certified in LMN's Level 1 & 2 Modules. Zero defect rate achieved on locally converted units. |
| Wiper Systems | LHD specific wiper linkages and motors installed to ensure correct sweep patterns for driver visibility. |
| Post-Conversion Audit | LMN Engineers conducted final sign-off and ISO 9001 aligned technical audits on all 80 units prior to field deployment. |
