Lephalale — long known as Ellisras — is the heart of the Waterberg coalfield. Our 34 ton side tipper combinations run coal from the Grootegeluk mine to the Medupi power station and across the bulk-haulage routes that power Limpopo's energy frontier.
Lephalale sits on top of South Africa's single largest untapped coal reserve. The Grootegeluk mine — one of the biggest opencast coal operations on the continent — feeds the Medupi power station next door, and the whole region is geared for high-volume bulk movement. When a mine or contractor needs reliable haulage to keep the plant fed and the stockpiles turning, that is exactly the work our side tippers were built for.
We deploy 34 ton side tipper trucks and trailers on coal-haul and bulk contracts across the Waterberg 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 and the round-the-clock rhythm of the pits around Ellisras.
