Vanderbijlpark notes on tyres, alignment & wheel services
Truck tyres dominate: 22.5 inch tubeless tyres on dual wheels for coil and plate transporters, regrooving, retreading on sound casings and roadside call-outs on the R59. Works fleets book alignment and tyre rotation on account. On weekends, boat trailer bearings and trailer tyres from the Vaal River keep fitment centres busy. Minibus taxis need hard-wearing tyres and frequent alignment checks.
Vanderbijlpark: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Vanderbijlpark was built as a steel town, and the steelworks still sets the pace for its tyre trade. Heavy trucks carrying coil, plate and scrap run between the plant, the industrial areas and the R59 and R57, and their tyres and steel rims take a beating on roads worn by decades of heavy loads. Contractor bakkies and works fleets add constant tyre and alignment work. On weekends, the Vaal River brings boat trailers, caravans and jet ski trailers, so bearing jobs pick up in summer. Sebokeng, Bophelong and the town itself are home to many minibus taxis and commuter hatchbacks. For diamond cutting or delicate alloy crack welding, some owners still look to Johannesburg.
Typical wheel balancing requests in the area come from:
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: minibus taxis and buses whose front wheels shake on long runs between towns
- Company and rental fleets: rental and courier cars balanced at each tyre change to keep tyre wear even
- Private car owners: a shake through the steering wheel on the highway after a pothole knocked a weight off
