The Port hauler has recently been undergoing vigorous testing, with one such test being conducted at Gerotek, to assess the capabilities of its braking system, with a simulated full load.

80% of world trade is carried via maritime transport. That is why we have envisioned that the Port Hauler will provide Transnet Port Terminals and other Port Terminal operators, a competitive edge in the fast and safe movement of cargo at their operations.
The Port Hauler is one of our developmental flagship projects from our R&D team. This multi-purpose single cab heavy hauling vehicle is capable of transporting trailer based containers, cargo or materials, both at inland or shore based ports.
Furthermore, its design in modular fashion makes the subsystems easily adaptable, to fit the customer's specific needs and use across a wide range of locomotives.
This system, which its IP will be owned by Transnet, will be a step toward future predictive maintenance studies.
Its rugged design and special selection of electronic components allows it to operate in temperatures of up to 70°C without the need for any active cooling.

The Locomotive Condition Monitoring System (LCMS) will provide a means to capture a locomotives condition data, transmit the data, perform advanced analytics on the data and display the data for the maintenance business.
Over the years, TE has been ensuring that TFR operations never cease to operate by maintaining its locomotive fleet for TFR. In an effort ensure seamless support, TE’s R&D identified the need for data-based services, such as predictive maintenance, and data-based fleet
