What breaks down and moves in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein sits at the junction of the N1 and N8, so towing here is shaped by through traffic between Gauteng, the Cape and Lesotho. The N1 carries heavy freight trucks and holiday traffic past the city, and the N8 runs to Kimberley in the west and to Thaba Nchu and Maseru in the east. The N6 heads south to the Eastern Cape. Summer storms with hail and winter frost and fog on the highways cause many breakdowns and crashes. Families travelling on holiday, transport firms, government fleets, students and farmers around the city ask for tows, car transport, lowbeds and trailers here.
The requests we see from Bloemfontein usually come from:
- Motorists and families: a static tow strap in the boot for a short pull to a safe spot
- Truckers, buses and logistics: heavy static straps for pulling stuck vehicles in depots and yards
- Company fleets and rental firms: standard recovery kits in every fleet 4x4 that works off tar
