Towing in Randfontein
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.
Typical winches requests in the area come from:
- Construction, mining and plant hire: winches on site vehicles for recovery on wet construction and mine roads
- Motorists and families: a winch on the family 4x4 for self-recovery on holiday tracks
- Truckers, buses and logistics: a winch on a support truck to pull stuck trailers back onto firm ground
