Mega-T, the premier trucks, trailers, and transport expo, is all set to host its eagerly awaited second event, and excitement is reaching a fever pitch as suppliers, service providers, and manufacturers flock to participate and showcase their products. Taking place on 5, 6 and 7 October 2023 at the Diamantvallei Landgoed showgrounds, 20km east of Pretoria and powered by The Road Freight Association (RFA), this show promises to be the ultimate hub of innovation, collaboration, and progress in the transport and trucking sector.
Trucks, trailer parts and service supplier JMR Group will use Mega-T to launch its new private label range, Road Diamond. Rynhardt Mostert, Chief Executive Officer of JMR Group, says the company is collaborating with some key suppliers to exhibit its latest cutting-edge products.
“Mega-T’s continuous growth offers us an excellent opportunity to engage with new customers and foster stronger connections with our existing ones in a relaxed social setting. Road Diamond may be a newcomer to the market, but its foundation is solidly rooted in years of experience and expertise from a team of seasoned industry professionals,” explains Mostert. “Designed specifically for South African roads and tailored to meet competitive price points, our slogan, ‘Quality Priced Right,’ encapsulates the essence of Road Diamond. The brand encompasses an extensive range of top-notch truck and trailer parts and accessories, all meticulously crafted for the discerning South African market.”
Transport equipment manufacturer GRW has big plans for their participation at Mega-T. Its product range consists of fuel tankers, specialised liquid tankers, auger bulkers, pneumatic dry bulkers, refrigerated trailers and tautliner trailers. GRW will be hosting a daily lamb spitbraai and invites all show visitors to join in, gathering around the fire while enjoying a drink. Says Stephan Albertyn, Sales Executive for GRW: “The Expo provides an excellent opportunity for networking with other industry players and spending some valuable time with current and prospective customers.”
Redwing – introducing innovation
Redwing Cylinder Head Tech is making its highly anticipated debut at Mega-T this year, and the team is eager to present one of its new products, crafted and perfected right here in South Africa over the past three years. The company specialises in reconditioning and services on truck and earthmoving equipment cylinder heads of most major brands.
“Through years of experience, we have gained profound insights into the constraints and possibilities within the repair process,” explains Wimpie Rabé, CEO of Redwing Cylinderhead Tech. “This drove us to develop a revolutionary solution – a modular replacement part for traditional injector tubes on the Cummins ISX cylinder head application. This breakthrough innovation facilitates seamless repairs on cracked cylinder heads.”
At Mega-T, Redwing will proudly showcase this groundbreaking product and provide a comprehensive explanation of the installation process with visual demonstrations.

International tyre-manufacturing and distribution company Apollo Tyres will showcase an impressive range of high-performing truck and bus tyres at the show.

About The Mega-T Expo organisers
The Mega-T expo stands as a fresh initiative by KragDag, proudly brought to you by the dedicated KragDag Expo Team.
KragDag was born in 2007 when the energy crisis in South Africa started to become clear and this gave rise to the first KragDag expo in 2008. It initially mainly focused on alternative energy solutions to empower people with the opportunity to become more energy independent. The expo has since broadened its scope to include self-reliance solutions in various other areas of life. The expo celebrates technology and people’s creativity and initiative, and at the same time, with the motto Do your own thing!, inspires people to innovatively build a sustainable liberty filled life.
Since its very humble beginning, the expo has continually grown to where the thirteenth annual expo, that took place on 11-13 August 2022, attracted 580 exhibitors, and had 30 900 expo attendees.
Triggered by roll players in the transport industry, indicating a need for an expo that has a broader vision than a traditional trade show, KragDag took up the challenge by establishing the Mega-T outdoor show with the expectation that this new baby, as was the case with the KragDag expo, with time will grow into an industry giant serving the needs of various role players and participants.
