Bakers Tankers is part of the Bakers group of companies, serving a niche the rest of the industry overlooks — bulk liquid transport that demands specialist skills well beyond general freight.
With 50+ years of experience, the Bakers group of companies is a respected name in Southern African transport. Bakers Tankers is purpose-built to handle bulk liquid cargo including fuel, oils, chemicals, food grade products and aviation fuel.
Our fleet now includes 50+ trucks and 100+ tankers across Interlink, tri-axle, Jet A1, rigid and drawbar configurations. Every vehicle is supported by HSE equipment, tracking and communications systems with security backup.

Every driver is trained not only in HSE and handling procedures, but in customer service delivery — because on the road, they represent Bakers Tankers more than anyone else in the business.
