Vehicles and driving in Witbank

eMalahleni, still widely known as Witbank, is at the heart of South Africa's coal mining region, surrounded by collieries and coal-fired power stations. Mining houses and contractors run large fleets of haul trucks, bakkies and earthmoving machines fitted with beacons, reverse alarms, work lights and fleet tracking. Coal trucks heading along the N4 and N12 put constant demands on lighting and charging systems. Highveld winters bring hard frost that kills weak batteries, while summer thunderstorms test wiring seals. Coal dust also finds its way into alternators, connectors and switchgear, so regular cleaning and inspection are needed on vehicles working near the mines.
