Chieftain Trailers (Pty) Ltd

Trailer specialist Chieftain Africa has been awarded a multi-million rand contract by Armscor to supply a world first fully integrated hooklift trailer to the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) for use in the Project Teamster field kitchen capability. The focus of the Project was to enable the deployment of equipment in 6 metre/20 foot converted shipping container modules. The Chieftain Hooklift Trailer (CHT) will be the fundamental logistical solution to transporting and mobilizing the 6 metre containers. The CHT evolved from a proven commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) trailer to a purpose built, fully developed military-off-the-shelf (MOTS) container handler that can load or offload a 6 metre container within three minutes. In addition to the world first Chieftain Hooklift Trailer, Chieftain Africa offers a wide range of trailers for mining, construction, agriculture and military use. These include tractor drawn, commercial truck drawn and rail trailers. Military products include three axle drawbar and three axle lowbed trailers.
