Cape Town Helicopters

Challenge

Cape Helicopters, operating from the V&A Waterfront Helipad, identified a need for a road-legal shuttle to transport customers within the V & A precinct. This shuttle would not only collect customers, but also shuttle them to the helicopters, utilizing the public road infrastructure. The challenge was to find a supplier capable of providing a road-legal vehicle suitable for navigating both public roads and areas undergoing new construction around the V&A Helipad.

Solution

Melex Golf Cars Pty Ltd emerged as the sole supplier of Road Legal Golf Carts in South Africa, offering a tailored solution to Cape Helicopters' requirements. The company provided an all-inclusive rental contract featuring a Road Legal Hi-Rise vehicle in a 4+2 configuration. This vehicle was equipped with a Li-Ion battery system, ensuring both power and efficiency. The Hi-Rise Long Wheelbase (LWB) 6 Seater Road Legal cart not only met legal requirements for public road usage, but also demonstrated versatility in traversing areas with ongoing construction activities. The inclusion of an online logging and monitoring system added an extra layer of management and efficiency to the shuttle service. In summary, Melex Golf Cars Pty Ltd addressed Cape Helicopters' challenge by offering a road-legal shuttle solution that not only complied with regulations but also provided the necessary flexibility to navigate through the dynamic environment around the V & A Helipad, ensuring a seamless and efficient transportation service for their customers.
