Spartan Truck Hire rents out trucks in Pretoria and across the Tshwane metro, with load capacities from 4 tons up to 26 tons. Hire by the day, the week or the month, with or without a driver and crew, and choose from panel vans, drop sides, curtain sides, crane trucks, refrigerated trucks and tail lift trucks.
We have been doing this for more than 40 years. In that time we have grown into one of South Africa’s larger truck rental operations, and the Pretoria branch is a full part of that national network rather than a satellite depot with three vehicles on the yard.
Why Pretoria businesses hire from Spartan
- Over 40 years in the industry. We have been renting trucks since long before most of our competitors existed, and the fleet reflects what actually works on South African roads.
- A branch with real depth. Enough vehicles on the ground to cover short-notice hires and to keep you moving if something goes wrong mid-hire.
- Built for Tshwane’s mix of work. Automotive and component deliveries out of Rosslyn and Silverton, construction supply across Centurion and the eastern suburbs, and general distribution through the Pretoria industrial belt.
- Driver and crew available. Hire the truck on its own, or hire it with a qualified driver and assistants and let us handle the whole transport leg.
- No long-term commitment required. Daily, weekly and monthly hire with no obligation to sign a fixed contract. Long-term leasing is there if you want it, not a condition of doing business with us.

Truck and driver hire in Pretoria
You do not need a Code 10 or Code 14 driver on your payroll to move a load. We supply qualified, PrDP-licensed drivers along with assistants for loading and offloading.
That covers you when your own driver is on leave, when the job falls outside your normal operation, or when you would simply rather hand the whole transport leg to someone else.

What you need to hire a truck
- A valid South African driver’s licence for the class you are hiring — Code 8 (B/EB) for panel vans under 3 500 kg GVM, Code 10 (C1) for most rigid trucks, Code 14 (EC) for articulated combinations.
- A valid Professional Driving Permit (PrDP) for goods vehicles over 3 500 kg GVM, if you are supplying your own driver.
- A refundable deposit, confirmed at the time of quoting.
If any of that is a stumbling block, hiring the truck with one of our drivers solves it.
