South Africa as other countries in the global community has a high population of abnormal vehicles.
This is a direct result of continuing development and need for constructions and improvement of various infrastructures in the country.
Energy (i.e. power stations), Roads, Stadiums, Dams, high rise or skyscrapers buildings continue to rise in the country.
Our coastal towns and cities are currently engaged in the renewable energy projects, wind turbines for erection of wind farms are currently being transported by roads mainly in Western & Eastern Cape.
This necessitates transportation of abnormal loads on our various roads infrastructures.
