What to know locally in Free State

Farmers around Bethlehem and Kroonstad want heavy-duty tow bars and couplings for livestock and grain trailers. Fitment centres and trailer dealers work from Bloemfontein's Hamilton area, Welkom and Bethlehem. Visitors to Clarens and Golden Gate often fit tow bars for motorbike trailers and caravans. Tow operators along the N1 and N3 look for rollbacks and heavy wreckers for sale, and the region has good dealers for used units.

Towing in Free State

The Free State sits on the main road between Gauteng and the coast, so much of its towing comes from through traffic. The N1 passes Kroonstad, Winburg and Bloemfontein on the way to Cape Town, and the N3 runs past Villiers and Harrismith towards Van Reenen's Pass and Durban. Long weekend and holiday traffic brings breakdowns, caravan trouble and crashes. The N8 links Bloemfontein with Kimberley and Lesotho, and the N5 crosses the eastern Free State to Bethlehem. Farming dominates, so bakkies, tractors and grain trucks are common. Winter fog and frost on the Highveld, and summer storms and hail, make driving harder. Clarens and the Golden Gate area draw weekend visitors with trailers and motorbikes.
