Free State notes on equipment & supplies
Workshops in Bloemfontein, Welkom and the national road towns buy truck tyre changers, balancers and alignment machines, often delivered from Gauteng along the N1. Farm towns need tractor tyre tools, tube patches and valves. Ask about backup power, three phase supply and who services the machine locally. Used machines come up when fleets and workshops upgrade, so ask for proof of calibration before you buy.
Free State: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Sitting on the N1 and the N3, the Free State sees a huge share of the country's road freight and holiday traffic pass through Kroonstad, Bloemfontein and Harrismith. That brings truck tyre blowouts, bent rims from potholes on secondary roads and travellers needing a quick puncture repair on the way to the coast. Off the national roads, maize, sunflower and cattle farms keep bakkies, tractors and trailers on long gravel stretches. Welkom and the goldfields have mine vehicles, and Sasolburg's petrochemical industry runs its own fleets. Bloemfontein is the centre for mag repair and refurbishment, with industrial areas such as Hamilton home to tyre and wheel workshops. Winter frost cracks old tar, and summer storms flood it.
The requests we see from Free State usually come from:
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: a truck depot balancing steer tyres to cut vibration and uneven wear
- Farms: a country tyre shop balancing bakkie and 4x4 wheels that run on gravel
- Private car owners: the machine that stops a new set of tyres shaking the steering wheel
