Newcastle notes on roadside, recovery & transport

Roadside calls here are often flat batteries on frosty mornings and cars stuck on gravel roads around Utrecht, Ingogo and Dannhauser. Farmers need tractors and bakkies pulled out of muddy fields after summer rain. Factories near the steel works book lowbeds for machinery, and trucks for car transport run to Gauteng along the N11 and N3. Ask a yard for its storage rate per day first.

What breaks down and moves in Newcastle

Newcastle is an industrial town in northern KwaZulu-Natal, on the N11 between Ladysmith and Volksrust and close to the Mpumalanga border. The N11 is a busy truck route for coal and steel, and heavy vehicles climbing Laing's Nek and Botha's Pass toward Gauteng sometimes break down. The steel works and factories in the industrial areas use trucks, forklifts and plant that need moving. Commuter cars and taxis travel between the town, Madadeni and Osizweni every day. Winters are cold and frosty, with black ice on shaded corners, and summer thunderstorms with hail roll across the plateau. Farmers around Utrecht, Ingogo and Dannhauser call for tractor and bakkie recovery on gravel roads, and many ask for tow bars for cattle trailers.
