Logistics Leadership. Measured in Scale, Proven in Precision.

What sets RTG apart:

Reinhardt Transport Group (RTG) is one of Southern Africa’s largest privately owned bulk logistics operators, moving millions of tonnes each year with one of the continent’s most advanced fleets. Our benchmark extends beyond size; it encompasses the high standards we uphold in safety, sustainability, and service.

Where Scale, Responsibility, and Precision Redefine Logistics Leadership

Reinhardt Transport Group (RTG) stands as one of Southern Africa’s largest privately owned bulk logistics operators, moving millions of tonnes annually across the continent. With a fleet exceeding 1,000 trucks and specialised equipment, we offer reliability and a reach that few can rival. However, scale is merely the starting point. What truly distinguishes RTG is the high standard we uphold: measurable safety performance, certified quality systems, carbon-conscious operations, and a workforce that embodies our values each day.

We are more than just a transport company. We are a logistics group that shapes industries, uplifts communities, and establishes benchmarks for responsible growth throughout Africa. Our commitment goes beyond traditional logistics; we actively engage in sustainable practices that ensure our operations benefit both the economy and the environment. By investing in innovative technologies and nurturing partnerships, we strive to create a future where progress and responsibility coexist harmoniously.

From mining and minerals to agriculture and industrial products, RTG moves the commodities that keep Southern Africa’s economies running.

Our scope includes: Chrome, Coal, Coke, Fertiliser, Magnetite, Manganese, Pig Iron, Pulp, Slag, Steel, Salt, Grains, Sugar, Wheat, Zircon, and more.

  • Multi-route, multi-country capacity across high-efficiency corridors
  • Commodity-specific handling protocols that safeguard quality and value
  • A track record of on-time performance that consistently outpaces industry averages

Our vehicles aren’t just assets — they’re a competitive advantage.

  • Best-in-class Scania and Volvo trucks through an aggressive fleet renewal cycle
  • Preventative maintenance programmes backed by in-house RTG workshops
  • Advanced telematics, tyre self-inflation, and onboard weighing systems that enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and provide real-time visibility

Result: fewer breakdowns, higher reliability, and complete cargo traceability.

RTG drivers are trained through the Commercial Professional Driving Academy (CPD Academy) — a pioneering institution setting new standards for Ultra Heavy Vehicle driver development in South Africa.

  • Three-phase training model including theory, supervised driving, and 150,000 km solo under review
  • Certified in defensive driving, compliance, and specialist cargo handling
  • Consistently record fewer incidents per million kilometres than the industry average

When an RTG driver is behind the wheel, clients know safety and professionalism are guaranteed.

We hold one of the most comprehensive SHEQ portfolios in African logistics:

  • ISO 9001 (Quality Management)
  • ISO 14001 (Environmental Management)
  • ISO 39001 (Road Traffic Safety)
  • ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety)
  • RTMS (Road Transport Management System)
  • ISO 31001 (Risk Management)

Our certifications are not certificates on the wall. They are the systems that govern how we operate, every kilometre, every load.

At RTG, road safety is not a slogan — it’s a measurable system.

  • 24/7 fatigue and driver behaviour monitoring
  • Secure rest facilities and structured roster planning
  • Verified results: fatigue-related incidents reduced by over 60% in two yearsThe RTG SHEQ Department conducts regular Road Risk Assessments and Journey Plans to ensure that all drivers are aware of and prepared for potential risks along their designated routes.
  • We are ISO 39001 Road Safety certified, an accolade few in the sector achieve.

RTG is rewriting what sustainable logistics looks like.

  • Carbon Leadership: Verified emissions reductions of 10,962 tonnes CO₂e in 2024 — the equivalent of removing 2,400 passenger cars from the road for a year
  • Water Stewardship: Water testing is done every year to ensure we have the best quality of reusable water
  • Energy Efficiency: Solar power, daylight-optimised workshops, and low-energy lighting
  • Circular Practices: Biodegradable degreasers and full used-oil recycling
  • Natural Offsets: Spekboom planting at depots to capture carbon and restore ecosystems

This is logistics that advances economies while protecting the planet.

SQAS certificates (Safety and Quality Assessment Systems certificates)

SQAS provides a uniform method to assess transport and logistics companies that serve the chemical industry — ensuring that all safety, environmental, and quality standards are consistently applied.

Key Focus areas:

  • Safety management systems
  • Environmental performance and sustainability
  • Security and risk management
  • Quality control and traceability
  • Driver training and competence
  • Equipment maintenance and inspection

In short: An SQAS assessment is a rigorous, internationally recognised audit confirming that a logistics company operates safely, responsibly, and to high quality and environmental standards — especially when handling chemicals or hazardous materials.
