Kimberley notes on roadside, recovery & transport

Roadside calls near Barkly West and Ritchie are often punctures, overheating and flat batteries on long rural drives in summer heat. Mining and engineering firms book lowbed transport for earthmoving machinery and plant, so ask whether a permit or escort is needed. Students at the local university and colleges sometimes need car transport home, and storage in Kimberley's yards is charged per day.

Kimberley on the road

Kimberley is the Northern Cape's capital, built on diamond mining, and its towing work mixes city traffic with long national routes and mine haulage. The N12 links Kimberley to Johannesburg and to the N1 near Three Sisters, while the N8 runs east to Bloemfontein and west to Griekwastad. Trucks, mine vehicles and long-distance buses use these roads, and breakdowns can be far from town. Hot, dry summers stress radiators and tyres, and winter brings cold nights and frost. Mining and engineering contractors, government fleets, farmers, students and travellers on the N12 ask for tows, lowbeds, tow bars and trailers here.
