SATELLITE TRACKING
Our vehicle tracking system is supplied by MiX Telematics, a leading global provider of fleet and mobile asset management solutions. We have a full-time Fleet Management Technician who monitors the vehicles at all times.

TIPPERS
Our fleet of 30 tonne rear-end tippers is used for the haulage of various aggregates within Zimbabwe. One of our main contractors is Davis Granite, the largest quarrying operation in Zimbabwe.

Transporting Jet A1 safely requires driver training, specially engineered tankers with sample lines for each compartment and safety equipment, such as highly-engineered manholes, vapour recovery equipment (valves and vents), foot valves/emergency valves/internal valves, manifolds & dust caps and Electronic Stability Control Systems. Dedicated equipment is required for transporting aviation fuel, which must be kept under certain conditions to avoid contamination.
