What to know locally in Polokwane
Polokwane tow operators work from the industrial areas near the N1 ring road and Ladanna, covering a long stretch of the N1 north and south of the city. Heavy wreckers and underlifts are often needed for trucks on the Beitbridge route, while flatbeds take cars from Bendor, Flora Park and Westenburg to workshops in town. After an accident, check your policy and take a photo of the truck and the slip before you sign.
Towing in Polokwane
Polokwane is Limpopo's largest city and a crossroads on the N1, so towing here is busy with freight. The N1 carries trucks between Gauteng and the Beitbridge border with Zimbabwe, and its ring road around the city sees heavy traffic and breakdowns. The R71 east to Tzaneen, the N11 to Mokopane and the R81 to Giyani bring mine, farm and taxi traffic into town. Summer storms can make roads slippery, and winter mornings bring fog on the N1. Truck owners, transport firms, mine contractors, government fleets and families travelling north on holiday ask for tows, lowbeds, tow bars and trailers, and many tow trucks are based here.
