Telecommunications

Towers, fibre, base stations — connecting the country.

Telecoms freight is high-value, security-sensitive and often headed somewhere remote — a base station on a roadless hilltop, fibre running hundreds of kilometres, switching gear worth more than the truck. Wyvern moves it tracked, secured and on time for Econet, NetOne, Telecel, Liquid Intelligent Technologies, TelOne and the tower companies. Select a category to see what we move and the trailers we move it on.

Lattice and monopole tower sections, masts, guy wires and foundations — long-length steel for the network’s backbone, on permit where it runs over-length.

Typical trailers

BTS cabinets, antennas, RRUs, microwave dishes and feeder cable — high-value and fragile, moved enclosed, racked and secured.

T21 Tautliner (secured)Secured racks (fragile)

Generators, rectifiers, batteries (lithium & lead-acid) and solar hybrid systems — the power that keeps off-grid base stations alive; lithium moves under ADR.

Typical trailers
F21 Flatdeck / StepdeckT21 Tautliner (lithium · ADR)

Fibre-optic cable drums, ducting, conduit and joint enclosures — delivered to the rollout depot and out to the laying crews along the route.

Typical trailers
F21 Flatdeck

Switching gear, servers, routers, racks, UPS and cooling — extreme-value, fragile data-centre kit moved in a secure, air-ride box van under escort.

Secure Box Van (air-ride)GPS + escort

Shelters, concrete, steel and site material for the tower base — the civil works that turn a coordinate into a live site.

Telecoms equipment is high-value and a theft target — moved with GPS tracking, tamper-evident seals and, for the highest-value loads, armed escort. (See Project & Special Cargo.)

Security, access & compliance

Security & access

  • High-value security — GPS tracking and tamper-evident seals as standard; armed escort and dual-driver for core, switching and data-centre loads, with random route variation on the highest-value moves
  • Remote-site access — the final approach to hilltop and rural sites assessed in advance; last-mile transfer to 4×4 or crane truck where the road runs out
  • Fragile-electronics handling — air-ride suspension, proper securing and climate awareness for servers, switching and sensitive kit
  • Chain of custody — documented handover from depot to site for high-value and serialised equipment

Compliance & cargo

  • Lithium-battery compliance — backup and hybrid batteries classed as dangerous goods move under ADR with correct documentation and handling
  • Rollout scheduling — equipment delivered in build sequence to match the deployment plan, so crews aren’t waiting and high-value kit isn’t sitting on an open site
  • Transit cargo — regional equipment transiting Zimbabwe moves under ZIMRA ECTS sealing on geo-fenced routes
  • Reverse & RMA logistics — secure return of faulty or decommissioned equipment to supplier or disposal
