Towing equipment & supplies in Ladysmith: local notes

Holiday makers heading to Bergville and the Drakensberg resorts want tow bars for caravans and boat trailers, and farmers near Colenso want heavy bars for cattle trailers. Fitment centres in town fit bars and wiring, and trailer sellers near the N11 stock car and utility trailers. Tow operators and farmers buy winches, chains and straps from suppliers in the industrial area.

What breaks down and moves in Ladysmith

Ladysmith sits on the N11 near where it meets the N3, so the town gets traffic from Van Reenen's Pass and the long freight corridor between Durban and Gauteng. Van Reenen's Pass is steep and winding, and in winter snow and ice can close it, leaving trucks and cars stuck on the pass or at the top. Fog often hangs over the Tugela valley. Commuters and taxis travel between Ladysmith, Ezakheni and Steadville, and farmers around Colenso and Elandslaagte run tractors and bakkies on gravel roads. Holiday traffic toward the Drakensberg brings caravans, boats and trailers. People here ask for truck recovery off the N3, car tows into town and tow bars for farm and holiday trailers.
