Alberton: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Alrode is the engine room of Alberton: one of the larger industrial areas on the East Rand, home to manufacturers, transport yards, engineering works and the tyre and wheel workshops that serve them. Trucks leave Alrode for the R59 towards the Vaal and the N3, so truck tyre repair and roadside call-outs are a big part of local trade. In the suburbs, Meyersdal and Brackenhurst sit on the slopes of the Klipriviersberg, where steep streets and estate kerbs scrape mags. New Redruth and the roads near the town centre hold fitment centres and mag repair shops. Brackendowns and Thokoza bring commuter and taxi work. Summer storms can open potholes on the older roads overnight.
The requests we see from Alberton usually come from:
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: a truck depot changing 22.5 inch tyres on a dedicated truck changer
- Tyre shops and wheel workshops: a fitment centre or tyre shop mounting tyres all day on mixed wheel sizes
- Dealers, panel shops and insurers: a dealer prep bay fitting new tyres to used cars before sale
