Towing in Upington
Upington is on the Orange River in the Kalahari, and long distances define towing here. The N10 runs to Groblershoop and the N14 links Upington with Kuruman, Springbok and the Namibian border, and towns are far apart. Trucks, tour vehicles, farm bakkies and travellers heading to the Kgalagadi or Augrabies break down far from help. Summer heat is extreme, with hot tar and soft sand on gravel roads, while winter brings cold nights. Grape and raisin farmers along the river, solar plant contractors, tourists with caravans and 4x4 trailers, and transport firms ask for tows, recovery, car transport and towing equipment here.
Typical tow truck equipment requests in the area come from:
- Farmers and 4x4 owners: a rollback body on a used truck to move farm vehicles and small machines
- Truckers, buses and logistics: a heavy underlift and boom for recovering the company's own trucks
- Caravan, boat and bike owners: a light rollback body for moving race cars, bikes and classics
