Secunda notes on rim & mag repair
Rim repair here is mostly practical: steel rims on contractor bakkies bent on site roads, and alloys on staff cars that met a pothole on the R546. A few local shops straighten and refinish, but for TIG welding, a diamond cut recut or powder coating a set of 4x4 rims, expect the wheels to be sent to the East Rand or Johannesburg. Ask how the wheels are transported and insured.
Secunda: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Shift work shapes the tyre trade in Secunda. The petrochemical complex and the collieries around it run around the clock, so a flat tyre at five in the morning is a real problem and mobile call-outs are in demand. Contractor bakkies, buses and staff cars cover the roads between Secunda, Embalenhle, Trichardt and Evander every day, and heavy trucks use the N17 and the R546. Maize and cattle farms around Bethal and Kinross add tractor and trailer tyres. Fitment centres and alignment shops are in town and the industrial area, with smaller tyre repairers in Embalenhle. Simple bends and scuffs are handled locally, while cracked alloys and diamond cut wheels usually travel to Gauteng.
The requests we see from Secunda usually come from:
- Mines and construction sites: site vehicle steel rims coated tough against dust and stone chips
- Farms: bakkie, trailer and implement rims blasted and coated against rust
- Company and rental fleets: steel wheels on vans and bakkies powder coated for a durable finish
Local tips for Secunda
Asked for most in Secunda: early morning call-outs, contractor fleet alignment, truck and tractor tyres. Where the workshops are: secunda town centre, the industrial area and tyre repairers in Embalenhle. A useful tip: ask whether the shop or mobile service works before day shift or after night shift.
Powder Coating and Rim Painting usually suits alloy mags, 4x4 and steel rims. The work: strip, mask, coat or spray, cure. For mines and construction sites, the biggest group here, that usually means site vehicle steel rims coated tough against dust and stone chips. On the roads and season: summer storms and heavy trucks break up roads; dry winter fields bring dust.
