What breaks down and moves in Brits
Brits is a manufacturing and farming town on the N4 Platinum Highway between Pretoria and Rustenburg, with factories in the industrial area and irrigation farms along the Crocodile River. Its roads carry trucks to the platinum mines, commuter traffic to Pretoria and holiday traffic to Hartbeespoort Dam. Tow requests come from motorists stuck on the N4 and the R511, from farmers whose tractors and bakkies break down on gravel roads, and from boat and caravan owners heading to the dam on weekends. Busy roads around Schoemansville and the dam wall can be slow. Summer brings thunderstorms and hail, and winter mornings can be very cold, with frost and mist in the river valleys.
The requests we see from Brits usually come from:
- Motorists and families: a winch on the family 4x4 for self-recovery on holiday tracks
- Farmers and 4x4 owners: a winch on a farm bakkie for mud, river crossings and fence work
- Truckers, buses and logistics: a winch on a support truck to pull stuck trailers back onto firm ground
