What We Specialise InThe primary field of Rieks Towing’s operations revolves around the retrieval of broken down or accident

vehicles.

Additional to towing and recovery services, Rieks Towing also offers a specialised transport division

which caters for the transport of earthmoving equipment, cranes, agricultural equipment etc. This line of

business has only been pursued to assure better equipment utilisation and consists of less than ten per

cent of our annual turnover.

All services rendered in terms of this agreement will be performed within the scope of the predetermined

procedures and guidelines.

Recovery Training

Rieks Towing spends a lot of time and resources on in-house training, as well as the attendance

of recovery schools and seminars in the United States. Personnel at operator level are also

included in this program.

Rieks Towing uses some of the best equipment available and this combined with a dedicated

team of trained personnel provides a professional recovery and towing service to any concern

that needs to take care of their towing problems in an efficient manner.

Thisfleet consists of various recovery units, ranging from ten to seventy-five tons, towing vehiclesequipped with under reach lifting equipment, tractors and low-bed trailers as well as transportersand an air cushion recovery unit.

The high standard of equipment and high level of maintenance of these units were one of the keyfactors when Sasol nominated Rieks Towing as their preferred towing contractor for the towingand recovery of their commercial fleet.

Response Time

Rieks Towing will not commit our self to a set reaction time, but would commit our self to take

immediate action on any accident. This would ensure that the incident will enjoy our highest

priority and the correct personnel and equipment are dispatched with a matter of urgency. Within

one hour, excluding travel time, from the time that the call was placed, Rieks Towing can have

personnel at the scene of the incident from our nearest depot. Rieks Towing will normally be at

the scene of the incident before authorities have concluded their investigation and declared the

area safe.

We are also using a short message service system which will notify you, the client, when a unit is

dispatched to the scene, arrives at the scenes, the progress of the recovery and is done with the

incident. This service is provided at no extra cost.

Cooperation With Local Authorities

A good working relationship is maintained between Rieks Towing and all the local authorities in

the areas where we operate. Although some of the local authorities would prefer to support the

local operators in the area, it has never been a problem to get their support and cooperation once

they realised that the services has been called for by the owner/ insurer of the vehicle involved in

the incident.
