OUR FLEET. REAL WORK.START WITH THE BRIEF
The load. The route.
The site details.
Help us assess your collection, delivery and handling requirements before selecting a vehicle or lifting arrangement.
What needs moving?
Item weights, dimensions, quantities and photographs. Separate the total payload from any individual lifting requirement.
Where and when?
Full collection and delivery addresses, extra stops, dates, receiving hours and site contact details.
How will it be loaded?
Forklifts, cranes or loading bays at each end, plus gate widths, turning space and overhead restrictions.
Arrange truck hire for a collection, delivery or equipment move in Pretoria with Johannesburg Truck and Crane Hire. We serve Pretoria as part of our local, national and cross-border transport services. Tell us where the load starts and ends so we can quote for the full journey.
Choose a truck for your Pretoria job
- Closed panelvan trucks for goods that need an enclosed body. Provide package or pallet dimensions as well as total weight.
- Flatbed trucks for loads suited to an open deck. Explain how the load will be lifted onto and off the vehicle.
- Crane trucks when the job needs both transport and lifting. Include the load weight and where it must be placed.
- Lowbed and abnormal-load transport for machinery or oversized loads requiring an individual assessment.
Some of our 8-ton trucks have tail lifts. Request this when enquiring; the team will confirm a suitable vehicle and availability rather than assume every truck has one.
Planning collections and deliveries in Pretoria
Provide the exact addresses for both ends of the journey, including any additional stops. For a move between Johannesburg and Pretoria, specify the direction of travel and whether a return trip is needed. For deliveries to a business park, construction site or residential property, include entry requirements, receiving hours and any vehicle access restrictions.
Tell us whether loading equipment is available at each address. If packing, loading, lifting or rigging is needed, include it in the enquiry so the job can be scoped before booking.
Truck hire rates for Pretoria
Use our truck hire rates as a starting point, then request a quote for your route and vehicle. The quote should confirm the applicable distance, hire duration, driver and any additional handling requirements. The listed rates are not a fixed price for every Pretoria journey.
Crane hire and machinery moves
For a lifting job, explore mobile cranes from 8 to 500 tons. Crane suitability and availability must be confirmed for the load and site. For relocation work, see our machine moving and rigging services. Tell us if permits or escorts need to be included in an abnormal-load move.
Specialist transport for your Pretoria route
For machinery or cargo needing an individual vehicle and route assessment, discuss lowbed transport or abnormal-load transport. For an open-deck requirement, you can also enquire about a 30-ton flatbed; send the item dimensions, total weight and loading arrangements for a job-specific quote.
For the wider journey and handling options, use our transport and lifting service-area guide.

Unsure which truck to choose? Send your load details with the enquiry and ask the team to confirm an appropriate option.
A dispatch plan for the Johannesburg–Pretoria journey
Build a short handover schedule for the load rather than relying on the city names. Write down who can release it at collection, who can receive it in Pretoria, the times each person is available and the equipment at each address. If the receiving team changes between shifts, nominate the person who can authorise offloading.
For more than one delivery, list the stops in the order you need them completed. Identify any load that must remain accessible on the deck, any item that cannot be stacked and any empty packaging or equipment returning with the vehicle. The loading order and receiving windows should be discussed together before the vehicle is selected.
Separate transport readiness from installation readiness
A machine can be ready for the road while its final position is still obstructed. Explain whether the Pretoria team needs an item offloaded beside a building or moved through it. Send doorway measurements, the internal route and photographs of the final position with a machinery-moving and rigging enquiry. Electrical disconnection, foundations and reconnection responsibilities must be agreed with the appropriate contractors.
If the journey includes a lift, provide the pickup and placement positions separately. A crane truck must suit the carrying load and the lift at the required reach. A separate mobile crane may need its own access and setup assessment.
Planning work in the surrounding areas? Compare the Centurion and Midrand guides, or return to all service areas. Use the actual address in your quote so the route and agreed handling stay clear.
Tshwane enquiries beyond the Pretoria city name
Enquiry areas include Pretoria, Pretoria East, Pretoria West, Pretoria North, Menlyn, Montana, Wonderboom, Mamelodi, Soshanguve, Hammanskraal, Bronkhorstspruit. Provide the actual addresses so the complete route and service requirements can be assessed.
For Pretoria and wider Tshwane planning, name the actual town or suburb as well as both premises. A collection in the northern areas and a delivery on the eastern side may have different release and receiving windows. Give each contact the same item list, stop order and agreed handover point. The quote is assessed from the real route, not a single Pretoria label.
For a factory or machinery move, compare the dedicated Rosslyn and Silverton guides. Include any onward trip through nationwide transport in the same brief.

Answers to help you plan
Truck hire in Pretoria: questions
Can you quote for a load travelling between Pretoria and Johannesburg?
Yes. Send both addresses, the cargo details, loading needs and preferred date. We will assess the vehicle and journey and confirm availability. Include the actual sites rather than only the two city names so access and travel can be allowed for.
What should I check before a truck enters a Pretoria site?
Check the entrance, turning space, overhead clearance and permitted delivery hours with the site contact. Let us know about security bookings and unloading arrangements. These details help determine whether the proposed vehicle can reach the intended loading point.
Can a Pretoria delivery include crane unloading?
Include the item weight, dimensions and required placement, along with photos of the unloading area. We can assess transport and lifting together. Crane suitability depends on reach and site conditions as well as the weight of the load.
How do I request a quote for repeat Pretoria deliveries?
Provide the delivery frequency, addresses, approximate load per trip and receiving windows. Mention whether loads or destinations change during the schedule. The team can then confirm availability and quote for the planned work.
