Your questions, answered

Do you handle air freight as well as road freight?

Both. Road covers same-day runs, scheduled routes and pallet freight across South Africa. When road freight cannot meet the deadline, air freight moves through OR Tambo for domestic overnight or international delivery, with airway bills and export documentation handled as part of the consignment.

How quickly can something get onto a flight from Johannesburg?

OR Tambo is a short run from our base in Rivonia, so a consignment collected in the northern suburbs can reach the airport without going through another province first. The realistic cut-off depends on the airline, destination and any dangerous-goods requirements. We confirm the available flight before you commit to the consignment.

Can you pack and crate machinery for export?

Yes. Export-grade crating, IATA-compliant air packaging, stretch wrap and strapping, custom cartons and inserts, and labelling and barcoding. Packaging is specified for what is being moved and how it is travelling, which is not the same thing for road and for air.

Do you move dangerous goods or temperature-sensitive consignments?

Those are quoted case by case rather than offered as routine, because the paperwork, packaging and airline acceptance differ for every commodity. Send the safety data sheet and the destination and we will tell you honestly whether we can move it.
