Towing in Secunda
Secunda is built around a large petrochemical plant, and its roads reflect that: shift traffic from Embalenhle and Evander, contractor bakkies and buses, tankers carrying fuel and chemicals, and coal trucks from the surrounding mines. Tow requests often come from contractors and fleets whose vehicles break down on the R546 and the R580 at shift change, and from commuters on the road between Secunda and Embalenhle. Tanker and hazardous load recovery needs specialised operators, so ask the right questions. During shutdowns many contractors arrive with trailers and caravans. The Highveld weather brings hail and lightning in summer and cold, smoky mornings in winter, when visibility on the plant roads can drop.
