Towing in Newcastle
Newcastle is an industrial town in northern KwaZulu-Natal, on the N11 between Ladysmith and Volksrust and close to the Mpumalanga border. The N11 is a busy truck route for coal and steel, and heavy vehicles climbing Laing's Nek and Botha's Pass toward Gauteng sometimes break down. The steel works and factories in the industrial areas use trucks, forklifts and plant that need moving. Commuter cars and taxis travel between the town, Madadeni and Osizweni every day. Winters are cold and frosty, with black ice on shaded corners, and summer thunderstorms with hail roll across the plateau. Farmers around Utrecht, Ingogo and Dannhauser call for tractor and bakkie recovery on gravel roads, and many ask for tow bars for cattle trailers.
The requests we see from Newcastle usually come from:
- Truckers, buses and logistics: tow bars on support bakkies that move spares trailers between depots
- Construction, mining and plant hire: heavy-duty bars on site bakkies pulling generators, compressors and light plant trailers
- Farmers and 4x4 owners: heavy-duty bakkie bars for livestock, feed and water tank trailers on farm roads
