Winches and straps sell to bakkie owners using gravel roads near Phokeng.
Towing in Rustenburg
Rustenburg is the platinum capital, and its roads are dominated by mine traffic: buses carrying shift workers, contractor bakkies, ore trucks and lowbeds moving machinery between the shafts at Phokeng, Marikana and Kroondal. The N4 Platinum Highway links the town to Pretoria and the Botswana border, and truck breakdowns on it are common. In town, commuter cars and minibus taxis from Tlhabane and Boitekong break down on Nelson Mandela Drive and the R510. Weekend traffic toward the Pilanesberg and Sun City brings caravans and boat trailers. Summer thunderstorms with hail can make the N4 slippery, and winter is dry and dusty. Mines, fleets and private motorists ask for tows and trailers.
The requests we see from Rustenburg usually come from:
- Construction, mining and plant hire: winches on site vehicles for recovery on wet construction and mine roads
- Company fleets and rental firms: winches on fleet 4x4s that work on rural routes and service roads
- Truckers, buses and logistics: a winch on a support truck to pull stuck trailers back onto firm ground
