Minerals Logistics
The mining industry demands precision, safety, and reliability, and T & C Carriers delivers just that. We provide comprehensive mineral logistics solutions that cover the entire journey — from mine to processing plants, warehouses, and export ports. Our fleet and partner network are equipped to handle bulk minerals, ores, concentrates, and other mining inputs using side tippers, flatbeds, and specialised equipment. Each shipment is managed under strict chain-of-custody controls, ensuring traceability and accountability at every stage. By integrating transport with weighbridge control, stockpile management, and port coordination, we enable mining companies to streamline operations and maintain consistent export flows. We works with a wide range of minerals which includes: Copper concentrate, Copper Cathodes, Manganese, Cobalt, Chrome and Lithium.

T & C Carriers provides specialised mine-to-plant and mine-to-port logistics solutions, ensuring the seamless movement of minerals and mining inputs across Southern Africa. We manage both bulk and bagged commodities, including coal, chrome, manganese, copper, nickel, and other key ores. Our services cover every step of the journey, from transporting extracted ore from mine sites to processing facilities, through to final delivery at local or international export ports. With precise scheduling and careful coordination, we help mining operations maintain continuous production flows while reducing downtime and supply chain bottlenecks.
The mining industry requires specialised equipment to handle heavy and high-volume cargo. T & C Carriers operates and sources a fleet of end-tippers, side-tippers, and flatbeds designed to safely move bulk concentrates, ores, aggregates, and essential mining inputs. Side-tippers are ideal for bulk minerals that require fast offloading, while flatbeds are used for palletised or containerised materials such as chemicals, steel, or machinery. Each vehicle is carefully matched to the cargo requirements, ensuring that materials are transported efficiently, safely, and in compliance with mine site safety protocols.
We go beyond transport by offering value-added services such as stockpile management, weighbridge control, and chain-of-custody tracking. Our team ensures that minerals are properly accounted for at every stage of the logistics cycle. With weighbridge monitoring and digital record-keeping, clients benefit from accurate load data, minimised product loss, and greater accountability. Our chain-of-custody systems provide full traceability, ensuring compliance with industry standards and giving mining clients confidence that their cargo is managed responsibly from origin to destination.
Exporting minerals requires careful coordination with port authorities, terminal operators, and shipping lines. T & C Carriers provides port interface and export scheduling services to ensure that minerals are delivered to ports such as Durban, Richards Bay, Maputo, Walvis Bay, and Beira on time for vessel loading. We manage booking schedules, liaise with port operators, and ensure all documentation is prepared for smooth export clearance. By aligning inland haulage with vessel cut-off times, we reduce demurrage risks and help clients optimise their export cycles. This end-to-end coordination ensures that mining companies can move their commodities to international markets reliably and without unnecessary delays.
