Through its advanced bulk vehicle fleet, integrated supply chain and transport logistics provider Cargo Carriers continues to serve as a “trusted partner for some of the nation’s leading cement producers”.

“Cargo Carriers is more than a service provider – it is a cornerstone of the construction industry,” the company states.

It boasts a strong national footprint and extensive reach across the Southern African Development Community region, which is enhanced by its continual investment in “cutting-edge fleet technology”. This commitment has positioned Cargo Carriers at the forefront of innovation in bulk powder transportation.

Currently, Cargo Carriers operates one of South Africa’s largest and most advanced bulk vehicle fleets. Each vehicle is equipped with “state-of-the-art” telematics and transport management systems, including 24/7 satellite tracking.

These technologies provide “real-time visibility, accurate forecasting and seamless scheduling”, which are critical to meeting the demands of modern supply chains, says Cargo Carriers.

Further, the integrated systems offer total customer visibility across the entire supply chain, enabling proactive identification of potential constraints and the implementation of corrective measures to maintain efficiency and service standards.

The fleet’s technical sophistication also enables significant safety and payload optimisation benefits. Additionally, weight- saving design strategies and compliance- enhancing technologies are integrated into every vehicle.

Beyond logistics, Cargo Carriers’ expertise extends into specialised operations, such as precision road material spreading for surface stabilisation.

The company explains that these operations demand exacting standards, from regulated pressure control within bulk tankers to real-time adjustments in travel speed. The company’s drivers and assistants ensure materials are distributed precisely to engineers’ specifications, Cargo Carriers adds.

“This hands-on, highly specialised capability is complemented by strategic infrastructure investment,” the company says.

Cargo Carriers has aligned its powder operations with proximity to key production and distribution hubs, streamlining supply chains and alleviating logistical pressure for clients.

While the company’s origins lie in cement transportation, its powder portfolio has grown to include dry bulk raw materials, calcium carbide, lime and fly ash.

“Underpinning all of Cargo Carriers’ operations is a steadfast commitment to safety, health, environmental stewardship and quality. This uncompromising approach has not only earned the company a sterling industry reputation but also numerous accolades,” Cargo Carriers states.

The company asserts that, for nearly seven decades, it has been an integral force in Southern Africa’s cementitious industry.
