In South Africa’s transport, logistics, and construction industries, performance and reliability define success. Whether you’re hauling freight across provinces, delivering materials to a construction site, or moving machinery to remote locations, your vehicles are the backbone of your business.

At PR Group, we understand this better than anyone. As specialists in used trucks and trailers, we help businesses unlock performance and long-term value through dependable, road-ready vehicles that are built to last. 

With decades of experience and deep industry expertise, our goal is straightforward: to provide high-quality, affordable equipment that keeps your operations running smoothly.

 

The Strategic Advantage of Choosing Used Trucks and Trailers

For many operators, purchasing used vehicles isn’t just about reducing costs; it’s a smart business decision. A well-maintained used truck or trailer can deliver the same capability as a new model, but at a much lower investment, freeing up capital for growth, maintenance, or operating expenses.

Here’s why choosing used trucks and trailers makes sense:

  • Reduced Capital Investment: Our used vehicles require less upfront cost, allowing you to allocate funds where they’re needed most.

  • Faster Return on Investment: With a smaller purchase price, you start seeing profit sooner, improving cash flow and overall business agility.

  • Proven Reliability: Every vehicle we sell has proven itself in real-world South African conditions, reliability that’s already tested.

  • Lower Depreciation: Unlike new trucks that lose significant value in their first year, used trucks depreciate more slowly, retaining more of your investment.

  • Wider Selection: Our diverse range of brands, models, and configurations means you can find the exact vehicle that matches your needs.

We’ve built our reputation on ensuring that every unit we sell delivers real operational value from the first day it joins your fleet.

 

Our Heritage of Quality and Trust

Our story began decades ago, built on a foundation of experience in the transport and mechanical sectors. Today, PR Group operates from Kempton Park, serving clients across South Africa and the SADC region, including Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe.

We focus exclusively on used commercial trucks and trailers, allowing us to specialise in vehicles that meet the unique demands of long-haul logistics, construction, and industrial transport. 

By combining technical knowledge with hands-on experience, we ensure that every truck and trailer we sell meets high standards of performance and durability.

 

Our Range of Used Trucks and Trailers

We supply a wide range of vehicles designed to handle the challenges of African roads and industries. 

Our stock includes:

  • Long-Haul Freight Trucks: Ideal for logistics and distribution across provinces or into neighbouring countries.

  • Tippers and Construction Trucks: Durable workhorses for hauling aggregates, sand, and rubble on and off-road.

  • Flatbed and Skeletal Trailers: Reliable options for transporting steel, containers, timber, and bulk materials.

  • Lowbed Trailers: Built to carry heavy machinery such as graders, excavators, and bulldozers safely and efficiently.

  • Refrigerated and Curtain-Side Trailers: Available for clients in the retail and FMCG sectors requiring temperature control or side loading.

Our stock changes regularly, giving clients access to well-maintained, roadworthy vehicles suited to their line of work.

 

Our Commitment to Quality and Inspection

We understand that buying used vehicles comes with concerns about condition and reliability. That’s why every truck and trailer we sell goes through a comprehensive inspection process before it’s made available for purchase.

Our experienced team performs detailed checks on:

  • Engine performance and oil pressure

  • Gearbox and transmission

  • Brake systems and suspension

  • Axle alignment and chassis integrity

  • Electrical and hydraulic systems

  • Tyres, lighting, and safety compliance

We only sell vehicles that meet our internal quality standards and comply with South African road regulations. This ensures that when you purchase from us, you can drive away with confidence, knowing your truck or trailer is ready for the job.

 

Built for African Roads and Real-World Conditions

We know the realities of operating in Southern Africa, from the demanding heat and uneven terrain to long-distance routes and cross-border logistics. That’s why we carefully select vehicles that have already proven their ability to perform under these conditions.

Whether you operate in Gauteng’s busy industrial hubs or in rural mining and construction zones, our vehicles are chosen for their durability, efficiency, and adaptability. Many of our clients operate regionally, and we assist with export documentation and compliance for vehicles destined for neighbouring countries.

Our goal is to make sure every client, local or cross-border, has access to trucks and trailers that are strong, reliable, and ready to work from day one.

 

Tailored Solutions for Every Operation

Every transport business is different. You might be expanding your fleet, replacing a retired unit, or adding specialised trailers for new contracts. Whatever the goal, we take the time to understand your operational needs and recommend the right vehicle for your business.

Our team considers key factors like:

  • Load type and weight distribution

  • Distance and terrain

  • Maintenance expectations

  • Regulatory compliance

  • Budget and long-term operational goals

This consultative approach allows us to match each client with a truck or trailer that delivers both performance and value over the long term.

 

Why Working with the Right Dealer Matters

Buying a used truck is more than a transaction; it’s a partnership. The right dealer should provide transparency, support, and technical understanding. That’s what we’ve built our name on.

When you work with PR Group, you can expect:

  • Experience: Our roots go back to the 1970s, giving us decades of industry knowledge.

  • Integrity: We believe in honest communication, accurate condition reporting, and fair pricing.

  • Expertise: We specialise in used commercial vehicles, so we know what matters to professional operators.

  • Support: We value long-term relationships, not one-off sales. Many of our clients return to us for repeat purchases and referrals.

This approach has earned us the trust of clients across industries, from small fleet owners to large-scale logistics operations.

 

Contributing to Sustainable Fleet Growth

We also recognise the role our industry plays in sustainability. By extending the life cycle of well-maintained vehicles, we help reduce waste and promote resource efficiency. Every used truck or trailer that continues operating at peak performance represents less strain on manufacturing demand and more affordable access for growing businesses.

This sustainable cycle benefits both our clients and the broader transport ecosystem, supporting growth in South Africa’s logistics and construction sectors while reducing environmental impact.

 

Conclusion

Dependable vehicles are the foundation of every successful transport operation, and reliability doesn’t have to come with a new price tag. At PR Group, we take pride in supplying used trucks and trailers that combine affordability, performance, and peace of mind.

Our expertise, transparency, and commitment to quality have made us a trusted partner to businesses across South Africa and beyond. By helping our clients unlock more performance from every vehicle in their fleet, we continue to keep Africa’s roads and industries moving forward.
