Road transport is a fast paced and highly demanding business with most successful transporters constantly pushing for greater payload, less downtime and lower maintenance cost. At AFRIT we understand the pressures in the road transport industry and provide clients with solutions that optimise their return on investment. Working closely with our marketing and production teams, our design office ensures we produce tailored solutions of the highest quality at an affordable price. We pride ourselves on pushing the design boundaries and often take on projects others may shy away from.

Technology and innovation

Investing in technology is key to ensure our designs are always leading edge. Never satisfied with second best, we constantly research new design and construction methods to improve our products. Utilising state-of-art software such as Pro Engineer, AutoCAD and simulation tools from MSC we refine our designs in a virtual environment. The use of 3D CAD allows us to maintain a short time span from trailer concept to production, while our use of finite element structural analysis ensures that quality and performance are not compromised.
