Fort Klapperkop had guns mounted on ramparts that could be revolved and fired through numerous openings for maximum firepower in any direction. Trenches and barbed wire further prevented infantry infiltration. The fort harnessed the latest communication systems, which saw the telegraph rooms equipped with telephones. The fort had unique features – it was built with a moat around it and a drawbridge, but the moat was never filled with water. The fort was supplied with running water from a pump station that it shared with Fort Schanskop and electricity was generated by a paraffin engine.

It is common in most of this range, but largely absent from the arid northwest and the eastern lowlands of South Africa. It is found in open habitats such as grassland, Karoo scrub, thorn-bush and agricultural land, and often associates with farm animals.
