Mines around Kroondal and Mooinooi book lowbed transport for loaders, drilling rigs and generators, and should ask whether a permit is needed. Contractor fleets often keep roadside assistance for flat batteries and tyres on the mine roads. Breakdowns on the R510 toward Pilanesberg and Sun City are common on weekends. Many people hire car trailers to move cars to and from Gauteng. Towing prices are often quoted per kilometre.
What breaks down and moves in Rustenburg
Rustenburg is the platinum capital, and its roads are dominated by mine traffic: buses carrying shift workers, contractor bakkies, ore trucks and lowbeds moving machinery between the shafts at Phokeng, Marikana and Kroondal. The N4 Platinum Highway links the town to Pretoria and the Botswana border, and truck breakdowns on it are common. In town, commuter cars and minibus taxis from Tlhabane and Boitekong break down on Nelson Mandela Drive and the R510. Weekend traffic toward the Pilanesberg and Sun City brings caravans and boat trailers. Summer thunderstorms with hail can make the N4 slippery, and winter is dry and dusty. Mines, fleets and private motorists ask for tows and trailers.
The requests we see from Rustenburg usually come from:
