Agricultural and bagged bulk transport
Bagged maize, grain and produce moved between mills, depots and buyers, netted and sheeted so the load arrives dry, complete and on the day it was promised.
Agricultural freight runs on a clock. A mill has a loading window, a buyer has an intake slot, and a load that arrives a day late or a few bags short costs somebody real money.
We move bagged maize, grain and produce on superlink flatdecks for clients including VKB Milling in Mokopane. Bagged loads are netted so nothing is lost off the deck, sheeted against weather, and tracked live from loading to intake so you always know where the consignment is.

Answers
Questions we get about agricultural & bagged bulk transport
Do you collect from mills and silos?
Yes. Mill and depot collections are routine for us. We run bagged product out of VKB Milling in Mokopane. Give us the loading window and we will plan the trip around it.
How are bagged loads kept dry and secure?
Bagged loads are covered with cargo nets so nothing works loose off the deck, and sheeted with tarpaulins where the product cannot be allowed to get wet. Both are standard, not extras.
Do you handle bulk tipping or only bagged product?
Our fleet is flatdeck, so we carry bagged, palletised and bulk-bag product rather than free-flowing bulk that needs a tipper or a tautliner-tipper. If you need loose bulk moved, say so up front and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right carrier.
