Towing in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a university town ringed by wine farms, and its towing work follows students, tourists and farm traffic on narrow roads. The R44 to Somerset West and Klapmuts, the R310 over Helshoogte to Franschhoek and towards the N2, and the R304 to the N1 are busy wine routes with tight bends, cyclists and slow tractors. Students often need cars, bikes and scooters moved at the start and end of term, and wine estates move bins, tractors and forklifts. Winter rain makes Helshoogte slippery and summer heat stresses old cars in town traffic. Students, parents, estates, tourists and Technopark firms ask for tows, trailers and car transport here.
The requests we see from Stellenbosch usually come from:
- Motorists and families: a static tow strap in the boot for a short pull to a safe spot
- Farmers and 4x4 owners: snatch straps and shackles for bakkies and tractors in wet lands
- Caravan, boat and bike owners: a full kit for beach driving, sand dunes and overland trips
