Equipment & supplies in Kimberley: local notes
Workshops in Kimberley usually order machines and supplies from Gauteng or Bloemfontein, so ask about delivery, installation and how spares will reach you. A refurbished balancer or tyre changer can suit a smaller shop. Plan for power cuts with a generator. Farm workshops do well with heavy duty plug kits, compressors and boxes of tubes. Check load ratings on replacement mags for bakkies.
Repairers and tyre shops in Kimberley
Hot, dry and far from a metro, Kimberley is where the N12 and the N8 cross on the edge of the Karoo. Trucks run through on the N12 between Gauteng and the Cape, while cattle and game farmers drive long gravel roads in double cabs with trailers. Irrigated farms around Barkly West and the Vaal add tractors and harvest traffic. Intense summer sun ages tyres and bakes the lacquer on alloy wheels, and corrugated gravel shakes bearings loose. Tyre shops and alignment centres are found along the main roads into the city and in the industrial areas, including near Beaconsfield. Simple bends and scuffs are handled locally; complex rim work may go to Bloemfontein or Gauteng.
Typical rim repair machines requests in the area come from:
- Farms: a rural workshop pressing bent steel rims on bakkies and farm trailers
- 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
