Polokwane notes on parts, gas & equipment
The Ladanna industrial area and the city centre have refrigeration wholesalers and appliance spares shops that supply technicians across Limpopo, with compressors, gas, panels, condensing units and tools. Many technicians from Tzaneen, Mokopane and Louis Trichardt stock up here. Chest freezers sell well in Seshego and Mankweng and to game farmers. Ask a wholesaler about delivery by bakkie to farms outside the city.
What keeps Polokwane cold
Polokwane is the commercial hub of Limpopo, and much of the province's refrigeration trade runs through it. Distribution depots and wholesalers along the main routes keep cold rooms and freezer stores full for shops across the north. Butcheries, supermarkets and takeaways in the city centre and Seshego run display fridges hard, and game farms and hunting lodges in the surrounding bushveld need freezer rooms for venison in the hunting season. Families in Mankweng, Westenburg and the newer estates in Bendor and Flora Park call for fridges that stop cooling on hot summer days. Thunderstorms bring lightning and surges. Households, traders, distributors and game farmers ask most.
The requests we see from Polokwane usually come from:
- Households: rarely needed at home; a warm fridge calls for a technician instead
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: a service contractor's kit for keeping supermarket coolers running
- Factories and cold stores: recovery machines, pumps and gauges for a cold store maintenance crew
