Founded in 1999 to fill the gap in the market for a reliable, specialised transport service, Jacobs Transport
started with a second-hand crane truck, the fleet has now grown to over 90 with 120 trailers. They ascribe
their success and growth to the pursuit of their vision: To redefine the transport industry in southern Africa
through servanthood.
On top of its 22 years of expertise, the Gauteng-based company’s biggest assets are its professional,
dedicated staff paired with cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art equipment. Equipment
requirements like bigger cranes or a considerable number of extendable trailers are usually dictated by our
Customer’s needs.
During the horrible Covid 19 pandemic Jacobs Transport focused attention on transporting commodities
and started a Tipper division. With our Tipper division, we can transport Chrome, Manganese, Magnetite,
Iron Ore, and Pig iron. Our Tipper fleet consists of Side tipper links with the state-of-the-art lightweight
design that are capable of super payloads up to 40 tons. In keeping with the advanced technology strategy,
each one of our vehicles are fitted with 4 cameras (live) as well as Telematics tracking ensuring that our
operators remain in 24/7 control of the fleet. We can provide our customers with secure, efficient logistics.
This has made us a valuable logistics service provider with a good name to large mines/contractors
throughout South Africa
Implementing internationally recognized quality management system ISO 9001: 2015 during 2016, Jacobs
Transport has streamlined its business to the advantage of its clients and the company. In 2019, a vanilla
developed ERP system was introduced that allows for process flows to be assigned and controlled
throughout each department. This provides visibility on non-conformance and easier KPI management. The
added advantage of signing-on-technology has dramatically improved invoicing lead times.
Our capabilities in the specialised field of machine moving and rigging include rigging, loading, offloading,
and positioning of any machinery up to 500t using in-house equipment. To assist with the movement of
very heavy machinery where clearance is an issue, owing to low ceilings, for example, Jacobs Transport
delivers safe moves using Jack-&-Slide hydraulic skidding systems. These systems are designed to load,
offload and transload valuable and sensitive equipment to engineered specifications with ease.
Jacobs Transport is also well versed in abnormal transport and the associated permits and escorts
required, the effective management and execution of factory moves, and the palletizing and crating of
equipment to export standards. Jacobs Transport provides a complete logistics solution including services
from the handling (in and out), in bond transport and in bond storage of industrial products. The company is
not only able to transport its client’s cargo to and from the port, but is also able to de-stuff, de-crate, pre-
assemble and store the items until the client’s site is completed, where after the items will be rigged into
their final position.
Jacobs Transport’s forklifts are equipped with low masts to ensure easy access, enabling the forklift to drive
into containers to assist with the packing and unpacking/destuffing containers in preparation for the port.
