Richards Bay is South Africa's bulk-export powerhouse — home to the Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT), the Hillside aluminium smelter and the heavy mineral sands operations of Zululand. Our 34 ton side tipper combinations keep this deep-water gateway loaded.
Richards Bay was built to export at scale. The RBCT is one of the largest coal export terminals on the planet, fed by a constant stream of trucks and trains from the Mpumalanga and KZN coalfields. Alongside it sit the Hillside aluminium smelter, the heavy mineral sands operations around Mtunzini and KwaMbonambi, and the wider industrial development zone — all of it dependent on dependable bulk transport.
Our 34 ton side tipper trucks and trailers are built for this exact workload. Whether you're feeding coal to the terminal stockpiles, moving raw mineral sands, hauling smelter feedstock or carting aggregate for IDZ construction, we put a reliable, fully-supported combination on site so the export pipeline never stalls.
