Cross-Border Trucking & Border Clearing
Side-tippers, flatbeds and tautliners across the SADC region, with customs and border clearance at Beitbridge, Lebombo, Kasumbalesa, Chirundu and more.
Across borders, on schedule.
Most mining cargo in Southern Africa crosses at least one border by road. Gleatz arranges cross-border trucking between South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Malawi and the DRC – side-tippers for ore and coal, flatbeds for cathode and equipment, tautliners for bagged cargo and general freight.
We prepare the export, transit and import documents before the truck reaches the border, and work with clearing partners at Beitbridge, Lebombo / Ressano Garcia, Kasumbalesa, Chirundu, Kazungula, Groblersbrug and Nakonde, so delays and demurrage stay low.
