Johannesburg → Kimberley
Johannesburg to Kimberley Transport
Kimberley and the surrounding Northern Cape generate steady mining, agricultural and general commercial freight. Distances between collection and delivery points are long and services are sparse, so loads on this corridor need more planning around access, offloading equipment and realistic timing than the busier coastal routes.
The corridor
The lane usually runs via the N12 through Potchefstroom, Klerksdorp, Wolmaransstad and Warrenton into Kimberley, with onward legs to Douglas, Barkly West and Postmasburg where required. Rural delivery points often have limited offloading equipment, which affects vehicle choice.

Route FAQs
Can you collect from farms around Douglas and Kimberley?
Yes, provided the access road and loading area can accommodate the vehicle. For tight farm access we may recommend a tri-axle rather than a superlink.
Do you carry lucerne bales out of the Northern Cape?
Yes. Baled lucerne from the Northern Cape is regularly moved to Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Durban Port on tautliner and flatdeck capacity.
