Unitrans Lesotho (Pty) Ltd was incorporated in 1987.  Initially the business was limited to bring in abnormal loads and equipment to (LHDA) and the Katse Dam Project in the early eighties. By 1990, Unitrans began hauling fuel on behalf of Caltex and Shell to Maseru. Caltex fuel was collected from Clocolan and Shell fuel was uplifted from Durban and the fleet increased to approximately 9 vehicles registered and managed in Lesotho. Since the mid-1990s, Unitrans has had a steady growth and the fleet then stood at + 30 extra-heavy duty vehicles with over 60 employees.

Currently the fleet stands at 37 vehicles with 65 employees. We do business with all the major Oil Marketing Companies that operate in Lesotho. Our operations include contracts with Puma Energy and Total Energies.
