Bloemfontein notes on towing
Bloemfontein tow operators work from Hamilton and other industrial areas, covering the N1 bypass, the N8 and the N6. Holiday traffic and freight trucks mean car and truck tows are both common, with heavy wreckers needed for big rigs. Flatbeds move cars from Brandwag, Langenhoven Park and Heidedal to workshops and panel beaters. After an accident, check your insurer's policy and take a photo of the truck and slip.
Towing 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.
