New haulers into action

Durban Container Terminal’s
new Terberg haulers moved
into action at Pier 1 last Friday
(August 12), representing an
investment of R23.4 million.
“Having these new
haulers at Pier 1 will
improve equipment
availability and reliability
at our terminal, resulting
in fewer breakdowns
and therefore minimal
interruptions to operations.
Furthermore, the terminal
will be able to operate six
gangs without equipment
shortages,” said Brenda
Magqwaka, TPT general
manager of containers:
KZN operations.
The new haulers will
gradually replace the 14
Mafi haulers that are
currently in operation.
The hauler replacement
project is planned to be
completed in 2019, with a
further 30 haulers in the
pipeline for delivery over
the next three years.
