Ask about three phase power, installation and backup power for load-shedding before buying an aligner, and keep spare wheel nuts and studs for the bakkie and truck sizes you see most.
eMalahleni: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Coal trucks set the tone for wheels in eMalahleni. Heavy rigs grind along the N4, the N12 and the roads out to Kriel and Ogies, and the asphalt they leave behind is rutted, patched and full of potholes after every Highveld storm. Mine contractors run fleets of LDVs and double cabs that spend half their day on haul roads and gravel, so bent steel rims, cut sidewalls and alignment that drifts within weeks are common complaints. Tyre and fitment centres cluster along the main roads into town and in the Ferrobank industrial area, with truck tyre services nearer the highway. Simple straightening is done locally, but a cracked alloy or a diamond cut face often goes to a specialist in Pretoria or Johannesburg.
Typical rim repair machines requests in the area come from:
- Mines and construction sites: a mine workshop truing steel rims on LDVs bent on haul roads
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: a truck wheel shop straightening steel rims for trailers and buses
