Simply visit www.truckandtrailer.co.za from your phone, PC or tablet.

Once you have landed on the homepage of our website, you will find various tabs that run across the header of the site. You will also see our easy-to-use website navigation tool. These will give you direct access to the Commercial Vehicle products and services, as well as the Machinery and other equipment, you are looking for.

Truck & Trailer website tabs

The website tabs are there to give you access to the relevant website sections of our active dealer base, namely: - [Trucks](#trucks-and-machinery) - [Machinery](#trucks-and-machinery) - [Get Insurance](#commercial-vehicle-insurance) - [Spares](#spares) - [Services](#services) - [Auctions & Events](#auctions-and-events) - [Dealers](#dealers)

By clicking on any of these tabs, you will be directed to the specific section’s landing pages, where you will be presented with additional search options and the latest relevant information and adverts relating to that search category.

Trucks & Machinery

When searching for Trucks, you will be provided with a landing page that allows you to filter your search of truck types as well as the relevant locations. You will also be able to view our latest truck adverts from various dealers across South Africa.

Once a truck type is selected, you will be redirected to that section’s results page.

Once you are on the results page, you will be presented with all the product listings that match the relevant search criteria, as well as a “search refine” bar that will let you filter the search even further.

The above user experience can be expected for any of our Commercial Vehicle or Machinery product sections.

Commercial Vehicle Insurance

Signing up for Commercial Vehicle Insurance is an essential part of any commercial vehicle purchase. The National Road Traffic Act’s regulations state that transport operators need to provide written evidence that both the vehicles and goods being transported on a public road are insured “for damages that can occur as the result of an accident”. This is why Commercial Vehicle Insurance is critical. It allows you to legally operate your commercial trucks or trailers and protect your assets should the unexpected happen.

If you want to sign up for Commercial Vehicle Insurance, visit the Get Insurance tab on Truck & Trailer. Complete the “request a quote” form and we will submit your details to our Commercial Vehicle Insurance Partner on your behalf. The Insurer will then make contact with you to discuss your insurance requirements further.

Spares

Under the Spares tab, you will find six subcategories. Each subcategory is assigned to a particular Commercial Vehicle or Heavy Equipment product market and you'll have to choose the most suited one according to your requirements. Once selected, you will be provided with the relevant search results page.

Services

Our Services section is divided by the main industry categories, namely Trucks, Machinery, and Farm Equipment. Within these segments, you will uncover all the relevant services related to that particular product set.

Auctions & Events

When visiting the Auctions & Events tab on Truck & Trailer, you’ll be presented with the upcoming auctions by the various auctioneers advertising on our site. We’ve also placed a calendar in the Auctions & Events tab with the upcoming auctions dates clearly highlighted on it.

On each auction block, you’ll find the name of the auction house, date, and location of the auction. When clicking on a specific auction, you’ll find more details regarding the auction, as well as the items being auctioned off. You can then click on any of the stock items and view more details and photos regarding those specific items.

Dealers

Under our Dealers tab, all the Trucks, Machinery and Farm Equipment dealers that have listings on Truck & Trailer are categorised, so searching for a specific product deal or advert is easy.

If you want to find a truck dealer, go to the Trucks category and similarly explore all the subcategories. While exploring, you will find a list of dealers (in a specific category) along with their business name and business contact details. You will also find the number of published ads from that dealer.
