SHIPPING & GENERAL TRANSPORT SERVICES (PTY) LTD
Forwarding Agents in Durban

We have owned resources for the provision of heavy lift services to a multitude of clients, lifting capacities under our direct control at our Germiston based facility range from 1 ton up to 70 tons. We are able to offer a niche specialised unpack/packing service to clients who require a dependable and knowledgeable operator in this specialised field. A procured mobile crane service with lifting capacities of up to 200 tons is available for specialized off site projects and this is undertaken with hair- splitting attention to detail within our projects division. A fleet of 8 tail-lift equipped vehicles enables us to provide a service to clients who do not have access to forklift equipment to offload their shipments. Tail-lift trucks are equipped with an additional crew member and trucks are supplied with a pallet jack in order to facilitate mobility of your shipment on arrival at the destined delivery point. We are also able to provide sought after sideloader container handling equipment to clients who wish to have their containers grounded. We are proud to have 3 company owned container reach stackers within our fleet. Having recently acquired a 15 000 square meter fully paved and secured depot and an additional 50 000 square metre empty container park, we believe that our decision to invest in best-in-class equipment and land infrastructure, ideally positions us to handle, ground, reposition,stage or store containers on behalf of the Shipping & C&F industry,as well as our import,export and freight brokerage clients. Our acquisition and expansion drive in terms of equipment was largely to circumvent perpetual delays generally associated with mainstream depots. Our investments have proven timeously and have materialized our vision of ultimately quicker turnarounds times for our fleet and intrinsically quicker deliveries to our clients. Our experience and vast knowledge of the air cargo environment and the drawing processes within ORT, enables us to swiftly deploy vehicles to collect time sensitive airfreight shipments on behalf of our clients and expedite swift delivery to the consignee. We understand that time is of the essence when dealing with airfreight and therefore it is not unusual to find our equipment on standby within airport precincts whilst we await arrival of your flight and clearances.We offer a drawing service to clients with a team of skilled drawing officers who have a finely honed eye for detail, ensuring that your shipment are well received and properly quantified before taking custody /hand over to your respective airline. We offer an extensive range of closed pantech equipment with purpose design roller decks to accommodate airfreight containers being destined to relevant licenced degroup facilities.
