Towing in Ladysmith
Ladysmith sits on the N11 near where it meets the N3, so the town gets traffic from Van Reenen's Pass and the long freight corridor between Durban and Gauteng. Van Reenen's Pass is steep and winding, and in winter snow and ice can close it, leaving trucks and cars stuck on the pass or at the top. Fog often hangs over the Tugela valley. Commuters and taxis travel between Ladysmith, Ezakheni and Steadville, and farmers around Colenso and Elandslaagte run tractors and bakkies on gravel roads. Holiday traffic toward the Drakensberg brings caravans, boats and trailers. People here ask for truck recovery off the N3, car tows into town and tow bars for farm and holiday trailers.
The requests we see from Ladysmith usually come from:
- Truckers, buses and logistics: a winch on a support truck to pull stuck trailers back onto firm ground
- 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
