Cape Town notes on towing equipment & supplies
Fitment centres in Montague Gardens, Epping and the southern suburbs fit tow bars for caravans, boats heading to Gordon's Bay and bike racks for weekend trips. Car trailer dealers along the N7 and in Parow sell single and double axle trailers, and small tow firms buy used rollbacks and wheel-lifts in the industrial areas. Strong south-easter gusts on the N2 near the airport make a well-loaded, correctly coupled trailer important.
Cape Town on the road
Cape Town has a dense mix of commuter highways, harbour traffic and mountain passes, and towing work spans all of it. The N1, N2 and N7 carry heavy peak traffic into the city bowl, the M5 and the Settlers Way stretch of the N2 often have breakdowns at rush hour, and Sir Lowry's Pass on the N2 is a known spot for overheating trucks and caravans. Port traffic fills Paarden Eiland and Montague Gardens with heavy vehicles. Winter brings cold fronts with heavy rain, while summer brings a strong south-easter that pushes trailers and high-sided vehicles. Accident chasers are a known problem on city highways, so many drivers want a clear quote before anyone is called.
