What is Container Transport?

Container transport is the movement of standard 6m or 12m containers by road, rail, or sea — designed to fit international shipping standards for seamless global logistics. It’s one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways to move goods, whether you're transporting industrial equipment, retail cargo, or even mobile office units.

At Jacobs Transport, container hauling is our specialty. With sideloaders that lift up to 36 tons, crane trucks, and low-emission forklifts, we handle everything from stacking and placing containers to cross-border delivery. We're also RIB-certified and registered at all major ports in South Africa.
