Towing in Kimberley
Kimberley is the Northern Cape's capital, built on diamond mining, and its towing work mixes city traffic with long national routes and mine haulage. The N12 links Kimberley to Johannesburg and to the N1 near Three Sisters, while the N8 runs east to Bloemfontein and west to Griekwastad. Trucks, mine vehicles and long-distance buses use these roads, and breakdowns can be far from town. Hot, dry summers stress radiators and tyres, and winter brings cold nights and frost. Mining and engineering contractors, government fleets, farmers, students and travellers on the N12 ask for tows, lowbeds, tow bars and trailers here.
Typical tow truck equipment requests in the area come from:
- Truckers, buses and logistics: a heavy underlift and boom for recovering the company's own trucks
- Construction, mining and plant hire: a heavy deck and winch for moving site vehicles and compact plant
- Motorists and families: an owner-driver upgrading a used rollback with a new winch and lights
