This was up a long, narrow lane near Sevenoaks. The mixer slipped sideways into the building, the road was barely wide enough for a heavy vehicle. It was impossible to get any access other than to the front. The only thing preventing the mixer from falling over completely was the fact that it was jammed against the brick work of the barn. It had to be lifted and winched sideways at the same time.

These vehicles operate outside normal regulations and the gross weight would be approx. 38 tons. It was a particularly awkward job but the rotator is ideally suited to this kind of work. The ability to operate 5 winches and the crane simultaneously made it a reasonably straight forward job. The mixer only suffered superficial damage and drove back to its depot.
