OUR DYNAMIC GROUP OF COMPANIES
CONTINUING TO MAKE HUGE INROADS INTO SOUTHERN AFRICA
ACTION ACROSS ALL SPHERES
Transaction Carriers (TAC) offers cross-border freight-management and transport services into Zambia and the DRC.
TAC has a very competitive footing in the market with 130 mechanical horses together with air-suspension trailers comprising primarily of super-links complemented by a growing fleet of tri-axles and step-deck trailers.
Our trucks and trailers are all purchased new from the manufacturers and recapitalised every 12 years to ensure that each vehicle is always on the manufacturers full maintenance contract whilst we are operating them.
The sheer reliability and efficiency of the fleet, together with the horse and trailer combinations, make it extremely suitable for a wide range of general breakbulk cargo as well as containers, abnormals and hazardous commodities into Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
THE WHO’S WHO IN LOGISTICS
Warehouse and Total Transport Solutions
Watt Africa specialises in consolidated and full load transportation to Zimbabwe. We have a growing fleet of 30 trucks that consists of vehicles from 12 to 34 tons. Our vehicles are purchased new from the manufactures and recapitalised every 12 years, as is the TAC fleet. Our fleet consists of closed tautliner vehicles and flat deck superlinks. Our tautliners, used primarily for consolidated and high-volume cargo, are fully enclosed which enhances the overall security of the cargo while minimising exposure to the elements.
Every week, five to seven of our consolidated vehicles are despatched from South Africa to Zimbabwe with an average transit time of six days. In addition to these consol loads, we also have full trucks loading from our warehouse and various suppliers. We make use of our own dedicated warehouse which has sufficient space and equipment to receive cargo and ensure it is securely packaged and stored for transportation to Zimbabwe. We have a dedicated operations and warehouse team that is committed to fulfilling all of your transportation needs into Zimbabwe.
We are also affiliated with a clearing agent Shickers Clearing and Forwarding which is based in Harare and is able to assist with any import and export enquiries you may have.
