Optimize your earthmoving and mining logistics with our world-leading articulated and rigid dump trucks. From the legendary Volvo ADTs to Hitachi’s ultra-class rigid haulers, SMT provides the most reliable and fuel-efficient transport solutions for Africa’s harshest terrains.
Haulers & Dump Trucks
Specialized Haulers Solutions for Every Terrain
The choice between articulated and rigid technology depends on your site’s conditions and production targets. At SMT, we offer the best of both worlds: the all-terrain mastery of Volvo Articulated Haulers and the high-speed productivity of Hitachi Rigid Dump Trucks.

Choosing the Right Haulage Strategy
Selecting the right hauler configuration is critical for your site's ROI. We analyze your rolling resistance, haul road distance, and payload targets to ensure your fleet is perfectly matched to your operation's specific demands.
ADTs are the superior choice for sites with poor underfoot conditions, soft soil, or extreme gradients. Thanks to their unique steering and 6x6 drivetrain, they ensure non-stop productivity where rigid trucks would get stuck.
Rigid Dump Trucks are engineered for high-volume production on established haul roads. They offer higher payloads and faster travel speeds, providing the lowest cost-per-ton for mass extraction in mines and large quarries.
Efficiency depends on synchronization. We calibrate your fleet so that our [Mining Excavators] or [Wheel Loaders] fill your trucks in 3 to 5 passes, minimizing waiting times and fuel burn.
Systems like CareTrack and ConSite monitor idle time, fuel consumption, and payload accuracy. This data allows you to optimize haul cycles and identify operator training needs to reduce TCO.
Mastering Haulage Through Advanced Connectivity
Our hauling solutions integrate the latest technological advances to ensure maximum reliability in African environments. From advanced telematics to unique suspension systems, every feature is engineered to reduce your downtime and operational costs while maintaining the highest safety standards

Certified Technical Support
Our factory-trained engineers across 17 countries ensure your transport fleet meets OEM standards, backed by a robust genuine parts supply chain.
Haulers for Africa’s Most Demanding Sectors
Every project requires a specific haulage strategy. SMT provides specialized configurations for mass extraction, infrastructure development, and large-scale industrial material moving, ensuring the right machine for the right terrain.
Optimize overburden removal and ore transport with ultra-class Rigid Dump Trucks. Engineered for 24/7 production, these units deliver the highest speed-on-grade for deep-pit mining cycles.
Surface Mining Operations
Overcome mud, sand, and soft soils with Articulated Haulers. Their low ground pressure and unique oscillation make them critical for road construction where mobility is the primary challenge.
Infrastructure & Road Construction
Achieve the highest fuel efficiency in quarry rehandling with a versatile fleet. We calibrate your haulage routes to minimize rolling resistance and optimize fuel consumption per ton moved.
Quarry & Aggregate
Seamless Loading & Hauling Workflows
A hauler is only as productive as the machine that loads it. SMT optimizes your fleet synchronization to eliminate bottlenecks, reduce waiting times, and lower fuel consumption across your entire site.
Excavator & Hauler Matching
Achieve perfect fleet balance by pairing our haulers with [Mining Excavators]. We ensure your trucks are loaded in 3 to 5 efficient cycles, maximizing the productivity of both machines.
Wheel Loader Site Synergy
Streamline your quarry operations by pairing articulated haulers with high-capacity [Wheel Loaders]. Integrated Load Assist technology ensures every payload is maximized without risking machine overload.
