Profitability & Relationships

All solutions are expected to drive customer profitability (including yield optimisation) and deliver cost benefits across the specified operations. Unitrans relationships of more than 20 years demonstrates long-term sustainability and improved performance.

Supply Chain Solutions for the Poultry Farming Industry

Unitrans offers a comprehensive set of supply chain solutions to support poultry farming operations and we operate various types of transport for the industry incorporating a high level of hygiene, health and safety for both on-farm and on-road requirements. Our long-standing presence in the poultry farming industry indicates some of the complexities we manage with efficiency and innovation. A collaborative approach to effective planning and management extends to an integrated planning approach with farmers to ensure optimal management of the feed and livestock cycle.

Agriculture Services & Logistics

In Field Services

Unitrans use bulldozers to bring about bush clearing and soil ripping to effectively clear native vegetation. Ongoing ploughing turns over the uppermost soil and thereby bring fresh nutrients to the surface. To further complement the land preparation, harrowing is implemented to break up the soil further for more productive use. Through ridging the fields are contoured to provide the desired drainage.

Agricultural automation is core to mechanisation of which GPS guided auto-steer and laser guided land levelling are two notable applications. Private road building and maintenance further support field production and haulage services. The strategically located operations have broad experience to use heavy duty equipment such as excavators and dumpers to develop and maintain drainage networks.

Yield Optimisation Services

The agricultural production systems include mechanised and automated land preparation, planting, soil and plant profiling building yield maps, leading to a host of variable rate applications of fertilizer, pesticides and ripening services.

As part of the Unitrans specialist design competencies, the team designs and specify equipment to minimise the impact on the fields. This competency is a world class one available in Africa.

Crop Load and Haul

Unitrans has built a reputation as the leading service provider in the load-and-haul of sugar cane.

Over many decades various ways of loading have been tested including wheeled loading and excavator loading, which are specialist applications.

Performance based designs are used to provide the most effective road-trains, multi-drives and other performance enhancing haulage combinations to suit each situation.

Farming for the future.
