Trucks for Sale in Harare
Looking for trucks for sale in Harare? RPC Trading can help you source suitable used trucks from the UK, based on your required specification and budget.
We’re based in the UK, not Harare, so there’s no local yard to visit. You deal with us directly on WhatsApp or by phone. We send photos, videos and details of each truck so you can decide from home.
Harare businesses often need trucks for:
- Distribution: deliveries across the city and out to Chitungwiza
- Construction: building supplies, where tippers and crane rigids fit well
- Agriculture: moving tobacco, maize, fertiliser and farm inputs across Mashonaland
- Logistics and general haulage: cargo to and from the border posts
For town work, a 4×2 or 6×2 rigid is often easier to run than a large 6×4. You can ask us about tractor units, rigids, tippers, heavy-duty trucks, crane trucks, or a specific make and model.
Trucks for Sale in Bulawayo
If you’re searching for trucks for sale in Bulawayo, RPC Trading can supply used trucks from the UK to buyers in the city and across Matabeleland. As with all our Zimbabwe customers, you buy remotely. We’re in the UK and don’t have a branch or yard in Bulawayo.
Bulawayo sits on main road and rail routes towards Botswana and South Africa, so a lot of truck work here covers long distances. That usually means horse and trailer combinations. Heavy rigids and tippers also work on construction and mining further afield, including around Hwange.
Trucks we’re often asked about for Bulawayo work:
- Tractor units for freight and regional transport
- Rigid trucks for logistics and distribution
- Tippers and heavy-duty trucks for construction and mining
- Crane trucks for delivering and offloading heavy materials
- General haulage vehicles for agriculture and mixed loads
Looking for trucks for sale in Bulawayo? Send RPC Trading your required make, model, year and budget, and ask us to check available UK stock.
Used Tipper Trucks for Sale in Zimbabwe
We supply used tipper trucks for sale in Zimbabwe, subject to availability. Tippers do the heavy lifting on:
- Construction sites and earthmoving
- Aggregates, sand and gravel
- Quarrying
- Road and infrastructure projects
- Mining-related transport
Choosing a Tipper
Consideration | What to think about |
Axle configuration | A 4×2 generally suits lighter loads and shorter runs. A 6×4 handles heavier loads and rough ground. An 8×4 carries the most payload for heavy site work. |
Payload | Match it to your typical load, not your biggest one |
Body size and material | Steel for rock and heavy wear, alloy to save weight |
Hydraulic system | Tipping ram, pump and PTO in good working order |
Engine output | Enough power for loaded hill climbs and site work |
Chassis | No cracks or weld repairs, especially behind the cab |
Operating environment | Tarmac, gravel roads or off-road site use |
No single configuration suits every job. The right tipper depends on your application, payload and operating conditions.
Horse Trucks for Sale
In commercial transport, a truck tractor or tractor unit is sometimes called a “horse” or “horse truck”, especially when it’s used to pull a trailer. That’s what we mean on this page. We don’t supply vehicles for transporting horses.
Horse trucks are used for:
- Long-distance haulage and freight
- Logistics and container transport
- Trailer operations with flatbed, tanker, side-tipper or low-loader trailers
- Regional transport into neighbouring countries
What to Check on a Horse
- Engine power: enough for your heaviest combined load
- Axle configuration: 4×2 for lighter work, 6×4 for heavy loads and rough roads
- Fifth wheel: condition, height and compatibility with your trailer
- Gross vehicle and combination weight: suitable for the loads and routes you run
- Gearbox: manual or automated, and how it’s been maintained
- Mileage and service history
- Cab: day cab for local work, sleeper cab for long runs
Horse trucks are subject to availability. Tell us what you’ll be pulling, and we’ll check current UK stock or source a unit to suit.

ERF Trucks
ERF was a British truck manufacturer, founded in Sandbach, Cheshire, in 1933 by Edwin Richard Foden. The company’s name comes from his initials. ERF built heavy trucks for decades and became part of MAN in 2000. New ERF trucks are no longer made, so any ERF you buy today is a used or older vehicle.
Buyers look for ERF trucks for different reasons:
- A preference for a model they’ve run before
- Familiarity with older, simpler truck designs
- Matching trucks already in their fleet
- Restoration or specialist use
ERF production ended years ago, so these trucks turn up less often on the used market. Parts support also varies by model. Before you buy, check how easily you’ll be able to get parts for that particular truck.
If you’re specifically looking for an ERF truck, contact RPC Trading with the model, year and specification you need. We can check available UK stock and sourcing options.
Choosing the Right Used Truck for Your Business in Zimbabwe
Start with the work the truck will do. The right choice depends on:
- Payload and cargo
- Route and distance
- Terrain and operating environment
- Trailer requirements
- Fuel consumption
- Maintenance
- Budget
Business requirement | Potential truck type |
Long-distance freight | Tractor unit (horse) + trailer |
General distribution | Rigid truck |
Construction materials | Tipper |
Quarry and aggregate work | Heavy-duty 6×4 or 8×4 tipper |
Transport + lifting | Crane or HIAB truck |
Regional haulage | Tractor unit or rigid truck |
Agricultural transport | Suitable rigid truck or horse and trailer |
Use this as a starting point. The final specification should be chosen for your actual application.
Second Hand Trucks for Sale in Zimbabwe
When you compare second hand trucks for sale in Zimbabwe, the lowest price shouldn’t be the only thing you look at. A cheap truck with a worn gearbox or a cracked chassis can cost more in repairs and lost work than you saved.
Before you buy, look at:
- History: age, mileage, service and maintenance records, previous use
- Mechanical condition: engine, gearbox, chassis, suspension, brakes, tyres
- Body and equipment: body condition, hydraulics, overall specification
- Paperwork: registration and export documentation
Work Out the Total Landed Cost
The real cost of an imported truck includes:
- Purchase price
- Export preparation
- Shipping
- Destination charges
- Taxes and duties, where applicable
- Clearance
- Local transport to your yard
Duties and taxes are set by the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) and depend on the vehicle. Ask a licensed clearing agent for a current estimate before you buy.
UK Trucks for Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe drives on the left, like the UK, so UK trucks come in right-hand drive. The UK also has an established used commercial vehicle market. Buying there can give you:
- A wider choice of used trucks
- Different makes, engines and specifications
- Tractor units, rigids, tippers and specialist vehicles
- Vehicle information such as mileage and service records, where available
A UK truck isn’t automatically better or cheaper. Compare each option on condition, age, mileage, specification, purchase price, shipping and import costs. The number that matters is the total landed cost.

Used Trucks for Businesses Across Zimbabwe
Mining keeps heavy trucks busy in the Midlands, around Gweru and Kwekwe, and at the coal operations near Hwange. That work mostly calls for tippers, heavy rigids and horses with trailers.
Mutare sits on the route to the Mozambican coast, so freight and haulage trucks are a common need there. Around Masvingo and in farming areas across the country, rigids and horse-and-trailer combinations move crops, livestock feed and building materials. Construction and infrastructure projects need tippers and crane trucks wherever they’re happening.
RPC Trading works with buyers across Zimbabwe from our base in the UK. We don’t have branches in Zimbabwe. We share vehicle information remotely, then support export preparation and shipping.

Used Trucks for Sale in Zimbabwe: FAQs
What types of used trucks are available for Zimbabwe?

Where can I find used trucks for sale in Zimbabwe?
You can buy from local dealers and private sellers, or import a used truck from abroad. RPC Trading supplies used trucks for sale in Zimbabwe from the UK, and our current stock is listed on our website. If the truck you want isn’t listed, we can check sourcing options.
Can I buy trucks for sale in Harare from RPC Trading?
Yes, but we’re a UK supplier, not a Harare dealer. Buyers in Harare choose a truck from our UK stock or ask us to source one, then review photos and videos remotely. We prepare the truck for export and help arrange shipping to Zimbabwe.
Can I find trucks for sale in Bulawayo through RPC Trading?
Yes. Buyers in Bulawayo can enquire about our UK stock by WhatsApp or phone. We don’t have a branch in Bulawayo. We send vehicle details remotely, then prepare the truck for export and help arrange shipping. Send us the make, model, year and budget to start.
Do you sell second hand trucks for sale in Zimbabwe?
Yes. Our second hand trucks for sale in Zimbabwe are held in the UK and exported after you buy. We share the photos, videos and details we hold for every truck, so you can check its condition, specification and history before you commit.
Can you supply used tipper trucks for sale in Zimbabwe?
Yes, subject to availability. We supply used 4×2, 6×4 and 8×4 tippers for construction, quarry and mining work. Tell us your material, typical load, preferred body and budget. We’ll check current UK stock or sourcing options.
What are horse trucks?
In commercial transport, a “horse” or “horse truck” is a truck tractor, also called a tractor unit, used to pull a semi-trailer. The term is widely used in Zimbabwe and southern Africa. It isn’t the same as a vehicle built to carry horses.
Do you sell horse trucks for commercial haulage?
Yes. We supply used tractor units (horses) for haulage, subject to availability. Tell us the trailer you’ll pull, your typical loads and routes, and your budget. We’ll suggest suitable 4×2 or 6×4 units from current UK stock, or source one.
Can I find ERF trucks from the UK?
Yes, although they’re less common than they used to be. ERF was a British manufacturer, and new ERF trucks are no longer made, so any ERF on the market is a used or older vehicle. As a British brand, ERF is more likely to turn up in the UK than elsewhere.
Can you source a specific ERF truck?
We can look. Send us the model, year range, specification and what you’ll use it for, and we’ll check available UK stock and sourcing options. ERF trucks are no longer built, so supply is limited and the right one may take longer to find.
Can I buy a used truck from the UK and ship it to Zimbabwe?
Yes. RPC Trading supplies used commercial vehicles from the UK to customers in Zimbabwe, subject to availability and export requirements. You choose the truck, we prepare it and the paperwork for export, and we help arrange shipping. Your clearing agent handles clearance in Zimbabwe.
Can I request photos and videos before buying?
Yes. We send photos and walkaround videos on WhatsApp. On request, we’ll film specific areas such as the engine running, the chassis, the tyres or the tipping gear. You can also visit our UK yard or send someone to inspect the truck.
Can you source a specific make and model?
Yes. Tell us the make, model, year range, specification and budget. We’ll check our UK stock first, then look at sourcing options. That includes Scania, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, DAF, MAN, Iveco and older British makes such as ERF.
How much does it cost to import a used truck into Zimbabwe?
There’s no fixed cost. The total depends on the truck’s price, age and specification, export preparation and shipping, the duties and taxes set by the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA), and port, clearing and road transport charges. Ask a licensed clearing agent for a current estimate before you buy.
How do I enquire about a truck?
The quickest way is WhatsApp. Send us the truck type, make, model, year, intended use and budget, or a link to a truck on our stock page. We’ll reply with matching trucks or sourcing options. You can also call +44 7745 690912 or email sales@rpctrading.co.uk.
