Equipment & supplies in Welkom: local notes
Workshops in Welkom buy equipment from suppliers in Bloemfontein or Gauteng, so ask about delivery and installation. Fitment centres need tyre changers and balancers suited to bakkie and LDV sizes, and farm workshops need plug kits, tubes and compressors. Check whether your unit has three phase power. A second hand machine with a known history can suit a small workshop.
Welkom: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Welkom was laid out as a planned gold mining town, known for its many traffic circles, and the roads still carry the weight of mine traffic. Contractor bakkies, mine LDVs and heavy trucks work the goldfields around Virginia, Odendaalsrus and Allanridge, while maize and sunflower farms bring tractors and grain trailers onto the R30 and farm gravel. Some older streets and mining roads are badly potholed, and edges crumble after summer storms. Tyre and fitment centres sit along the main routes through the CBD and in the industrial area, with smaller repairers in Thabong. Bends and scuffs are repaired locally, while crack welding or diamond cutting often means a trip to Bloemfontein.
Typical tyre changer machines requests in the area come from:
- Mines and construction sites: a mine workshop keeping LDV tyres turning over quickly on site
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: a truck depot changing 22.5 inch tyres on a dedicated truck changer
- Farms: a farm workshop changing bakkie and trailer tyres without a trip to town
