Gqeberha on the road
Gqeberha is the motor manufacturing capital of the Eastern Cape, with vehicle and component plants in Struandale, Deal Party and Kariega. New cars, parts and steel move on the N2 and the R75 every day, and trucks run between the port and the plants. Commuters crowd William Moffett Expressway, Settlers Way and the roads to Motherwell and KwaZakhele. The city is known for strong wind, which pushes caravans and trailers across lanes on the N2 near the Swartkops River. Coastal rain brings slippery roads, and salt air rusts tow bars along the beachfront. People ask for car tows, car transport for dealers and new vehicles, and tow bars for boats, caravans and work trailers.

The requests we see from Gqeberha usually come from:
- Dealers, panel beaters and workshops: static straps for moving non-runners around a dealer or panel shop yard
- Truckers, buses and logistics: heavy static straps for pulling stuck vehicles in depots and yards
- Motorists and families: a static tow strap in the boot for a short pull to a safe spot
