Rollback trucks in the industrial area cover Flamwood, Wilkoppies and Doringkruin. Wheel-lift trucks move commuter cars from Jouberton and Alabama.

What breaks down and moves in Klerksdorp
Klerksdorp is a gold mining and farming centre on the N12, the long route between Johannesburg and Kimberley, with the Matlosana towns of Stilfontein and Orkney close by. Trucks carrying grain, fuel and freight on the N12 often need heavy towing, and farm vehicles break down on the gravel roads toward Hartbeesfontein and Wolmaransstad. In town, commuter cars from Jouberton and Kanana need tows from the busy roads around the CBD and Flamwood. Many families travelling to the Cape on the N12 pass through with caravans and trailers. Summer brings thunderstorms and hail, while winters are cold and dry with dust from the maize lands. Farmers, hauliers, mines and motorists all ask for quotes here.
