What to know locally in Mpumalanga
Roadside calls on the N4 between Machadodorp and Nelspruit often involve overheating or brake trouble on the long descent past Waterval Boven. Visitors to Hazyview, Sabie and Graskop sometimes need a tow back to a town workshop. Farm tracks around White River and Barberton turn muddy in summer, so 4x4 recovery is common. Car transport and lowbeds also move vehicles and mining equipment between Secunda, Ermelo and Gauteng.
Towing in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga carries two very different kinds of traffic. On the Highveld, coal trucks and fuel tankers grind along the N4, N11 and N12 around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda, and roads such as the R35 and R38 can be rough, so truck breakdowns and heavy recovery are a large part of the work. East of Belfast the N4 drops down to Mbombela and the Lowveld, and holiday traffic heads to Kruger, Hazyview and the Panorama Route with caravans, boats on trailers and 4x4s. Mist on the escarpment around Dullstroom and Graskop, Lowveld heat and summer storms all affect the roads. Farmers move citrus, timber and machinery, and many visitors need a tow far from the nearest town.
Typical car trailer hire requests in the area come from:
- Truckers, buses and logistics: carrying a light support vehicle behind a bakkie to a new depot
- Motorists and families: bringing home a project car or a non-runner bought from a private seller
- Caravan, boat and bike owners: taking a track car, rally car or buggy to an event for the weekend
