Towing in Mpumalanga: local notes
Heavy-duty towing is a big part of the work in Mpumalanga, with coal haulers and tankers breaking down on the N4 near Witbank, the N11 past Middelburg and the R546 towards Kriel and Secunda. Car tows cluster around eMalahleni and Mbombela. Up on the Long Tom Pass and Kowyns Pass a flatbed is safer for damaged cars, and some tows from the Panorama Route back to Mbombela can be long, so ask for the full distance price.
Mpumalanga on the road
Mpumalanga carries two very different kinds of traffic. On the Highveld, coal trucks and fuel tankers grind along the N4, N11 and N12 around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda, and roads such as the R35 and R38 can be rough, so truck breakdowns and heavy recovery are a large part of the work. East of Belfast the N4 drops down to Mbombela and the Lowveld, and holiday traffic heads to Kruger, Hazyview and the Panorama Route with caravans, boats on trailers and 4x4s. Mist on the escarpment around Dullstroom and Graskop, Lowveld heat and summer storms all affect the roads. Farmers move citrus, timber and machinery, and many visitors need a tow far from the nearest town.
The requests we see from Mpumalanga usually come from:
- Truckers, buses and logistics: a courier company's bikes moved between branches on a covered deck
- Motorists and families: a commuter bike with a dead battery taken from home to a bike workshop
- Caravan, boat and bike owners: an adventure bike recovered after a breakdown on a gravel pass on tour
