Mpumalanga notes on vehicles, boats & commercial
Game drive vehicles from lodges near Hazyview and the Kruger gates need tough vinyl bench seats with drain holes and foam that dries out after rain. Mine contractors around eMalahleni and Secunda bring in bakkies with torn driver seats and want canvas seat covers. Boats on Loskop Dam and the Witbank Dam need marine vinyl cushions, and lodge pool decks ask for outdoor lounger cushions that survive a wet Lowveld summer.
Upholstery work in Mpumalanga
Two quite different kinds of work meet in this province. On the Lowveld side, lodges and guesthouses around Hazyview, White River and the edge of the Kruger need headboards, lounge chairs and game drive vehicle seats redone between seasons, and the humid summers bring mould into cushions that are stored badly. Up on the Highveld, the coal and power station towns of eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda send bakkie seats, fleet vehicle interiors and canteen and office chairs to motor trimmers in their industrial areas. Upholsterers in Mbombela and the Highveld towns serve the smaller places around them, from Dullstroom to Ermelo, so expect a collection fee or a trip into town with the piece in the back of a bakkie.
The requests we see from Mpumalanga usually come from:
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: shuttle vans and lodge transfer kombis whose seats take daily guest wear
- Homeowners and tenants: the family hatchback or SUV with a split driver's seat and children's wear in the back
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: 4x4s, campers and game drive vehicles with seats worn by dust and sun
Local tips for Mpumalanga
Common here: lodge headboards and lounge chairs, game drive seats, fleet bakkie seats. Ask each workshop about this: ask whether the foam is mould resistant or quick drying for humid Lowveld rooms. Where they work from: industrial areas in Mbombela, eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda.
Around Mpumalanga the largest group asking is restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges, which usually means shuttle vans and lodge transfer kombis whose seats take daily guest wear. Before you agree to anything: ask how airbag seams are handled. Collection here: fabric and foam often come up from Gauteng; small towns rely on collection runs.
