Ermelo is a major coal-mining and rail hub on the eastern Highveld. Our 34 ton side tipper combinations haul coal from the surrounding mines to rail sidings and the power stations that keep the national grid supplied.
Sitting at the centre of the eastern Highveld coalfields, Ermelo is one of the country's busiest coal and rail hubs. The mines ringing the town move enormous volumes of coal to rail sidings, stockpiles and power stations every year. When a mine needs reliable, high-volume haulage to keep coal flowing to the sidings, that is exactly the work our side tippers were built for.
We deploy 34 ton side tipper trucks and trailers on coal-haul contracts across the Ermelo coalfield. With one all-inclusive wet-hire rate, you get a fully maintained, fully insured combination and an experienced driver — ready for weighbridges, mine access protocols, rail-siding tip points and the round-the-clock rhythm of the pits.
