Gqeberha notes on roadside, recovery & transport
Car transport is a big business here because new vehicles leave the plants in Kariega and Struandale for dealers across the country. Roadside crews often deal with flat batteries and burst tyres on the N2 near Motherwell. Strong wind can make roadside work on the highway risky, so stand behind the barrier. Lowbeds move plant and machinery between the port and industrial areas.
Gqeberha on the road
Gqeberha is the motor manufacturing capital of the Eastern Cape, with vehicle and component plants in Struandale, Deal Party and Kariega. New cars, parts and steel move on the N2 and the R75 every day, and trucks run between the port and the plants. Commuters crowd William Moffett Expressway, Settlers Way and the roads to Motherwell and KwaZakhele. The city is known for strong wind, which pushes caravans and trailers across lanes on the N2 near the Swartkops River. Coastal rain brings slippery roads, and salt air rusts tow bars along the beachfront. People ask for car tows, car transport for dealers and new vehicles, and tow bars for boats, caravans and work trailers.
The requests we see from Gqeberha usually come from:
- Dealers, panel beaters and workshops: workshops and panel shops collecting customers' non-runners from home or work
- Truckers, buses and logistics: light support vehicles and bakkies recovered while the trucks keep running
- Motorists and families: a dead car on the way to work towed to the family's own mechanic
