LiedTrans provides dependable general freight services across South Africa's major corridors. From palletised goods on tautliners to containerised cargo on flat decks, our fleet handles full truck loads (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) consignments with consistent scheduling and real-time dispatch communication.
We service key routes including the N3 (Johannesburg–Durban), N1 (Johannesburg–Cape Town), N4 (Pretoria–Mbombela) and N12 (Johannesburg–East London). Our Gauteng hub in Ekurhuleni positions us for rapid collection and distribution across the Reef, with cross-docking options for multi-drop deliveries into industrial zones in Germiston, Wadeville, Rosslyn and Midrand.
Every load is tracked from collection to delivery, with proof of delivery issued on completion. Whether you're moving retail stock, industrial components or agricultural produce, LiedTrans delivers on time and within spec.
Transporting oversized and overweight cargo demands specialist planning, permits and equipment. LiedTrans manages the full abnormal load lifecycle — from route surveys and bridge clearance checks to SAPS and provincial permit applications, escort vehicle coordination and after-hours movement scheduling.
Our lowbed and heavy-haul fleet handles transformers, mining equipment, construction plant, wind turbine components and modular buildings. We've moved loads across the Northern Cape, Limpopo platinum belt, Mpumalanga coal fields and into Namibia and Botswana on permitted cross-border abnormal corridors.
Our abnormal load desk works directly with your engineering team to assess dimensions, axle loadings and centre of gravity — ensuring the right trailer configuration and avoiding costly delays at weighbridges or restriction points.
LiedTrans operates established SADC corridors with in-house knowledge of border post procedures, customs documentation and transit permit requirements. We move cargo from Gauteng to Gaborone, Francistown, Maputo, Harare, Bulawayo and Lusaka on regular schedules.
Our cross-border team manages COMESA certificates, SADC transit bonds, temporary import permits and carrier documentation. We coordinate with clearing agents at Kopfontein, Skilpadshek, Lebombo (Komatipoort) and Beitbridge to minimise border dwell time.
Whether it's mining consumables into the Copperbelt, retail distribution into Botswana or project equipment into Mozambique's Tete province, LiedTrans provides end-to-end cross-border transport with a single point of accountability.
Large-scale mining, energy and infrastructure projects require logistics partners who understand critical path scheduling. LiedTrans assigns dedicated project coordinators who integrate with your engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) teams to align transport with site mobilisation timelines.
We handle breakbulk, modular units, camp infrastructure and long-lead equipment for projects in the Waterberg, Bushveld Complex, Eastern Cape renewables zone and KZN industrial developments. Multi-leg moves from port to site — including Richards Bay, Durban and Maputo — are planned with staging yards and laydown area coordination.
Our project logistics service includes feasibility route assessments, budgetary transport estimates for tender submissions and as-built transport documentation for client audit requirements.
LiedTrans offers secure warehousing and cross-docking at strategic locations in Gauteng, providing buffer storage between supplier, port and project site. Our facilities support palletised storage, bulk commodities and project laydown with 24-hour access for urgent dispatches.
Cross-docking services reduce inventory holding costs for clients with regular SADC distribution — cargo is received, sorted and reloaded for onward transport within hours. We manage inbound receiving inspections, stock reconciliation and outbound loading supervision.
Combined with our transport fleet, warehousing creates an integrated supply chain solution: store, stage and deliver from a single partner with unified accountability and communication.
Not every challenge requires a truck on the road today. LiedTrans provides logistics consulting for clients evaluating route options, permit strategies, fleet outsourcing and supply chain optimisation. Our consultants draw on decades of corridor experience across South Africa and SADC.
Services include abnormal load feasibility studies, cross-border regulatory assessments, transport budget modelling for project tenders and RTMS compliance gap analyses. We help mining and construction clients structure transport scopes that align with project timelines and regulatory requirements.
Consulting engagements can stand alone or feed directly into operational contracts — giving you a seamless path from planning to execution with a team that already understands your cargo, routes and compliance landscape.
