Table of Contents

Key Features

  • Boom lifting capacity in the ballpark of 16 ton (≈14.5 ton) when retracted.

  • Boom extended capacity in the ballpark of ~6 ton.

  • Under-lift/wheel-lift capability with negative tilt (≈-11.5°) for effective vehicle recovery.

  • Maximum boom lift angle around 70°.

  • Built for recovery of disabled trucks, mid-size commercial vehicles, or large cars in fleets.

Typical Use Cases

  • Fleet recovery operations needing a capable but not ultra-heavy recovery unit.

  • Accident scenes involving medium duty trucks or large vehicles where more capacity than a basic tow truck is needed.

  • Towing companies that support mixed fleet recovery (cars + trucks) and need a versatile unit.
