What breaks down and moves 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.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Farmers and 4x4 owners: a rollback that moves bakkies, quads and small tractors between farms
- Truckers, buses and logistics: a heavy wrecker to recover the company's own trucks and trailers
- Caravan, boat and bike owners: a light rollback for moving race cars, classics and off-road vehicles
