Weighbridge Launch

In October 2017 the company therefore we launched our weighbridge to service our customers. The weighbridge is not only limited to our customer, it is also open to the general public. Customers have for the past years been moving their containers from our terminal, weighbridge sites situated some kilometres away from GABCON just to weigh their containers for both exports and imports. In cognisant of the time consuming detour and distance travelled by our customers, the organization we saw it fit to construct a weighbridge to eliminate this unnecessary leg.
