Roadque in Silverton, in Pretoria, has grown from a small distributor of automotive parts into a large supplier to the trailer and caravan industry, where their new factory now occupies some 2 200 square metres of workspace.
The original building was upgraded to house a large storage and display area for multitude of products produced by Roadque in their own factory, plus an outdoor equipment store. There is even a stylish eatery, the Roadside Café, adjoining the outdoor supply shop!
Started in 1996 Roadque has expanded to such an extent that its ultimate aim is providing everything needed to build a caravan or trailer. The company now stocks everything from braked and unbraked axles, couplers, rims and tyres, to jockey wheels, winches, springs bolts, drop side and long-leaf hinges, chevrons, mudguards, light brackets, licence disk and a multitude of other caravan and trailer components. A large percentage of these are produced in-house in their new factory.
