TRAILER PULSE GROUP Book a diagnostic

The trailer is the asset.
We keep it earning.

South African road freight runs on trailers that break at the worst possible moment. We service, repair and refurbish 2,454 of them on contract — then feed every defect, every service hour, every brake reading into ZF SCALAR so your next breakdown shows up on a dashboard before it shows up on the shoulder of the N3. Empowering safer roads. Unlocking new opportunities.

02 — What we do

Two things.
Done properly.

Every trailer group in South Africa will tell you they do maintenance and digital. Most do one badly and outsource the other. We run both under one roof, on one contract, with one accountability line from the spanner to the dashboard. That is the entire proposition.

Capability 01 — Physical

Maintenance, repair, refurbishment.

On-site service teams at your depot. Accredited workshops for heavy work. Monthly safety inspections to axle-manufacturer standard. A yearly major service that won't surprise your CFO because the plan is priced by point or by full maintenance contract — your choice, our discipline.

When a trailer is hit, bent or tired, we strip it, straighten it and put it back on the road meeting the same compliance standard as a new unit. Not cheaper than replacement. Faster, and without the capex conversation.

Capability 02 — Digital

Every trailer on one pulse.

We are the authorised ZF SCALAR partner in Southern Africa. That matters because SCALAR isn't a tracking app bolted onto a trailer — it is ZF's fleet orchestration platform, engineered by the company that builds the axle, the brake and the suspension your trailer already runs on.

Paired with TIMA — our paperless job card — every defect logged in the workshop becomes data on the dashboard. Every service interval becomes a calendar entry. Every recurring fault across your fleet becomes a line item your procurement team can act on.

03 — Products

Four tools.
One stack.

Use one. Use all four. The stack is modular because fleets are. SCALAR and TIMA are where most operators start — one gives you the dashboard, the other gives you the compliance trail. Trailer Connect and Bus Connect add asset-specific intelligence for the trailers and buses you already run.

04 — The ZF question

Why ZF?

Because the company that engineered the axle engineered the software. ZF Friedrichshafen supplies systems to almost every truck and trailer manufacturer on earth. When their platform reads your trailer's data, it reads its own language. That is a different class of intelligence to a third-party tracker.

05 — Reach

National floor.
Regional ambition.

If your fleet sleeps in South Africa, we can service it where it sleeps. If it runs into South East Asia, we are already there — under the KWJ flag in Thailand, working across the region for operators who need the same ZF intelligence we deliver at home.
