Table of Contents

Key Features & Highlights

  • Designed for 50-ton class recovery operations (i.e., capable of lifting/towing very large vehicles).

  • Large hydraulic boom and under-lift/wheel-lift system to manage substantial loads and perform complex recoveries.

  • Heavy satisfaction build: strong chassis, full recovery hydraulics, winch systems and likely advanced operator controls.

  • Suited for fleet recovery operations where large vehicle incidents (heavy trucks, buses, off-road equipment) are common.

Typical Use Cases

  • Recovering large commercial vehicles (trucks, buses, heavy equipment) in accident or breakdown scenarios.

  • Fleet operators who require a capable heavy-duty recovery vehicle for frequent use, rather than occasional.

  • Situations where both lifting and towing large assets are required: e.g., damaged truck requires being lifted and towed from scene.
