Load Protection & Cargo Escort Services
Transporting valuable goods across South Africa is a high-risk operation. With an average of 66 daily hijackings and over 5,000 annual truck-related cargo theft incidents, professional protection is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for logistics companies, couriers, farmers, and distributors.
The Threat is Real & Organized
Criminals are strategically targeting vehicles on major routes like the N2, N3, N1, R56, and R61 corridors. These are not random crimes; they are sophisticated operations involving:
Armed Hijackings & Fake Roadblocks
Insider Information from within supply chains
Signal Jammers to disable tracking devices
Coordinated Attacks using multiple vehicles
We Ready 24 Hours For You
