What breaks down and moves in Pretoria
Pretoria's roads mix government and commuter traffic with heavy freight on the N1 and N4, and the automotive plants at Rosslyn add car carriers and component trucks to the north. Breakdowns on the N1 near the Proefplaas and Lynnwood interchanges, and on the N4 east toward Silver Lakes and Bronkhorstspruit, are a daily part of the work. In the city, commuter cars from Mamelodi and Atteridgeville need tows on Church Street and Nelson Mandela Drive. Rosslyn and Pretoria West generate truck and fleet towing, and dealers move stock by flatbed. Highveld summer thunderstorms with hail can make the N1 slippery, and winters are cold and dry. Motorists, fleets, dealers and the public sector all ask for quotes.
Typical trailer hitches and couplings requests in the area come from:
- Motorists and families: a new coupling and lock for a utility trailer that sits on the driveway
- Company fleets and rental firms: spare balls, couplings and locks for a fleet of work trailers
- Dealers, panel beaters and workshops: coupling checks and replacement on used trailers before they are sold
