What to know locally in Randfontein
Tow trucks around Randfontein cover the N12 and the R28 between Krugersdorp and Westonaria, where trucks and commuter cars break down on long stretches. Rollbacks move cars from Greenhills, Homelake and Randgate to panel beaters in the Aureus industrial area. Heavy wreckers recover haul trucks and mine vehicles near the shafts, and some sites need a site induction before the tow truck goes in.
Randfontein on the road
Randfontein is a West Rand mining town on the edge of the gold fields, linked to Johannesburg by the N12 and the R28 toward Krugersdorp and Vereeniging. Old mine roads, slimes dams and open veld surround the town, and mine contractors, haul trucks and heavy plant move between shafts around Randfontein and Westonaria. Commuter cars and taxis run between Mohlakeng, Toekomsrus and the town centre. Highveld summers bring sudden thunderstorms and hail that flood low roads, while winter mornings are frosty and dusty winds blow off the mine dumps. People ask for car tows, lowbeds for mining plant, recovery from muddy veld tracks and tow bars for bakkies and farm trailers.
The requests we see from Randfontein usually come from:
- Construction, mining and plant hire: lowbeds for machinery and recovery of site vehicles stuck on mines and building sites
- Motorists and families: a tow home or to a workshop after a breakdown, a flat battery or a crash
- Truckers, buses and logistics: truck and bus recovery on freight corridors, with underlifts and heavy wreckers
