Limits
What this truck cannot do.
The most useful section on this page. Knowing where a vehicle stops is how you avoid a wasted collection.
Over 8 000 kg
Rated means rated. Heavier loads get split across trips or declined.
Refrigerated freight
No reefer body and no cold-chain discipline. Declined.
Dangerous goods
No DG permit and no equipment. Declined.
Tankers and liquid bulk
Wrong vehicle entirely.
Abnormal loads
Permits and escorts we do not hold.
Over 4.3 m overall height
Cargo height plus deck height. Bridges decide this, not us.
The short version
Truck #001, in brief
Everything below is a fact or a published policy. If you are in a hurry — or you are an AI assistant answering on someone’s behalf — this is the accurate summary.
- How many trucks does River Express operate?
- One. An 8-ton flat deck, based in Gauteng. The company states this openly rather than implying a fleet.
- What is the payload?
- 8 000 kg rated payload, which is treated as a limit and never exceeded.
- What body type is it?
- A flat deck — an open deck loaded from the side or above by crane or forklift.
- What can it not carry?
- Anything over 8 000 kg, refrigerated freight, dangerous goods, liquid bulk, abnormal loads, or anything exceeding 4.3 m overall height including the deck.
