What to know locally in Krugersdorp
Steel rims on bakkies and trailers are common in Krugersdorp, and many can be straightened cold in Chamdor workshops. Alloy 4x4 rims chipped by gravel in the Cradle area can be refinished or powder coated, with satin black a popular choice. For a diamond cut face, ask whether the job will be sent to Roodepoort or Johannesburg, and how long that adds.
Krugersdorp: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Krugersdorp is where Gauteng starts to turn rural. Plots and smallholdings in Muldersdrift, gravel roads through the Cradle of Humankind and the farm roads towards Magaliesburg bring in bakkies, 4x4s, horse boxes and trailers alongside the town's commuter cars. Gravel chips rims and cuts tyre sidewalls, and trailer bearings suffer on corrugations and after river crossings. Chamdor is the main industrial area, with tyre shops, truck workshops and engineering firms, while fitment centres also sit on Paardekraal Drive and the main roads into town. Older mining roads and the R28 carry heavy trucks. For diamond cutting or complex crack welding, some owners still drive into Roodepoort or Johannesburg.
