6. Goldfields Logistics has been awarded the
permit to operate the first Performance Based
Standards (PBS) tautliner in KwaZulu-Natal.
The Imperial Logistics group company expects
this highly efficient new “smart” truck to deliver
cost savings and service improvements for
clients.
“We see this as a great new partnership that
we are forging with our clients,” comments
Pieter Grobler.
Because a PBS vehicle is substantially longer
than a standard truck, it offers an increased
payload. This means that fewer trucks can be
used for the same volumes, thereby reducing
road damage and CO2 emissions.
“This vehicle can only drive on dedicated
routes that have been approved by the
Department of Transport in the Province that
the permit applies to,” says Pieter Grobler.
Expanding on its features and dimensions, he
reveals that it will be pulled by a Volvo 520 and
a six-axle tautliner. “This tautliner will be a
front trailer of 8.3m and a back trailer of 13.4m.
The total vehicle length will be 25.7m, in
comparison to 22m for a normal link. This
vehicle will be able to have a payload of 49
500kg; while a normal link can carry 36 000kg.
Its total gross weight will be 72 282kg,
compared to 56 000kg for a standard link.”
Goldfields Logistics will operate the vehicle on
the following approved routes:
● Goldfields Logistics Pinetown/Freightmax
to Sappi Tugela
● Sappi Tugela to Goldfields Logistics
Pinetown/Freightmax
● Goldfields Logistics Pinetown/Freightmax
to Sappi Stanger
● Sappi Stanger to Goldfields Logistics
Pinetown/Freightmax
The PBS vehicle will be equipped with load
sensors on each axle and a printout of the
payload can be done in the cab, which will en-
sure that the vehicle will not be overloaded
“We will first run this vehicle for a period and
then increase the number of vehicles on these
routes. By following this process, we believe
that we can make this concept a huge
success,” says Pieter Grobler.

INSPIRATIONAL WORDS FROM
MANAGEMENT
Uli Ferreira
Every job is a self portrait of the person
who did it. Autograph your work with
excellence - Jessica Guidobono
Henoch Kruger
Fanus van der Walt
Derine Potgieter
Your life counts - and make it
count. You are unique there is
no one like you on this planet.
Never has been and never will
be.
Don’t beat yourself up if you didn’t
get to your goal. That doesn’t matter.
You have 30 FULL Days left in
September. Make the most of them.
Past is past and we cannot take it
back. I want you to give some serious
thoughts about what your goals are
for this month. It’s super early, and
you have plenty of time. But you
won’t make your FUTURE better by
focusing only on your PAST. Make
this month a great month.
