The leaders in coal transport
Mac Transco is one of the leading coal transporters
in South Africa, with over 85000 kilometres, and close
to a 100000 tons of coal hauled each and every month.
They have been in the freight logistics industry for
over two decades, and continue to deliver excellence
to their lifelong satisfied clientele. They are proud
that the Lephalale fleet travels approximately 6.5 million
kilometres per annum.
Exxaro Recourses Tshikondeni mine is one of Mac's
major contracts, and they are also the sole transport
service provider for Tshikondeni Coal Mine owned by
Exxaro Resources. They have been responsible for the
coal transport of the run-of-mine and final product,
as well as the private siding since 1982.
The service which they deliver to Tshikondeni mine
can be divided into three equally important categories:
Firstly, the running of the mine: Specially designed
trailers are used for unprocessed coal transport from
the outer shafts to the main plant. These vehicles operate
24 hours a day, 6 days per week, and deliver on average
500 000 tons per annum, this provides a constant flow
of raw coal enabling the plant to operate 24 hours a
day uninterruptedly;
Secondly, transporting the final product: Using their
own front-end loader, the final product is loaded onto
their trucks and the coal is transported to Musina.
These trucks also operate 24 hours a day, 6 days per
week, and travel approximately 3.7 million kilometres
per annum. The coal is then off-loaded at their private
siding and stockpiled, ensuring a minimum buffer of
10 000 tons at all times;
Thirdly, private siding: The final product is loaded
onto Spoornet block trains using two of their front-end
loaders. During the loading process, samples are taken
of the coal and a moisture analysis is done by their
weighbridge controller. Each train consists of 40 wagons,
and is weighed using an in-motion weighbridge installed
on their siding, before it leaves for Mittal Steel in
Vanderbijlpark, where it is used in the steel manufacturing
process.
Another esteemed contract is the Exxaro Resources Grootegeluk
Mine, where Mac is responsible for coal transport to
320 clients such as: FOSKOR, Phalaborwa Mining Company,
Rombus Vanadium, Xstrata Steelpoort, Kgalagadi Breweries,
BMR, ESSO, Houers kooperatief, Khulani Timbers, Lephalale
Bricks, Millenium Kole, Vhavenda Bricks, and many more.
