Towing in Northern Cape: local notes
Many Northern Cape tows are long. A car that breaks down on the N14 between Upington and Springbok, or the N10 near Groblershoop, may be towed a long way to the nearest workshop. Heavy towing operators around Kathu and Postmasburg recover mine and ore trucks on the R325 and R31. In Kimberley, tows come from the N12 and Kimberley's Kenilworth and Beaconsfield areas. Ask for the full per km price before you agree.
Towing in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is the largest province with the fewest people, so a breakdown here can mean a tow of hundreds of kilometres. The N14 runs from Vryburg through Kuruman and Upington to Springbok, the N12 crosses Kimberley, the N10 passes Upington and De Aar, and the N7 carries traffic north to Namibia. Iron ore and manganese trucks around Kathu, Postmasburg and Hotazel add heavy recovery work. Karoo and Kalahari heat strains engines and tyres in summer, while winter nights are cold. Tourists towing caravans to Namaqualand in flower season, the Augrabies Falls and the Kgalagadi also need help. Gravel roads are common, and dust and loose stones cause punctures and damage.
Typical flatbed towing requests in the area come from:
- Truckers, buses and logistics: a crew cab or light panel van carried on a heavier rollback to the workshop
- Construction, mining and plant hire: a damaged site bakkie or compact loader carried to the plant yard on a deck
- Motorists and families: an automatic family SUV with a gearbox fault carried to a specialist on a deck
