NEW ADDITION 2015 - Mack B-61 6x4 (Type approval beater!)
The EU are busy trying to stop us importing new US built trucks. It looks like we may have already got type approval on the 4 axle Peterbilt 389, but this one goes the other way being in excess of 50 years old! It's been a bare chassis up rebuild, lots of running gear changes etc to bring it up to a...

Sleepy driver on M25??
We don't know exactly what happened here, but the truck was fully laden with steel when the driver wandered off the main carriageway and struck the armco barriers under a bridge. It caused severe damage down one side, all wheels, axles etc dislodged. It was a nightmare to get it all strapped up, ali...

A2 for a change! (Dover)
We were called to assist Eclipse Recovery with this job. The vehicle was heavily laden and had suffered severe damage after the driver left the road and went down into the trees.They requested another rotator to work with their vehicles to complete the recovery process. Both rotators on this job are...

NRC to the rescue, again!
This was a particularly wet, narrow and restricted site. The fully laden 8-wheeler slipped off the road on the bend and immediately sunk up to its axles, listing badly to the N/S. The Peterbilt is quite short, and the NRCs ability to slide backwards on its chassis gave us an ideal lifting point to t...

Stuck crane
Remote locations, small unmade tracks and heavy machinery don't go together very well! Just a few inches over caused this crane to sink down to its axles, requiring quite a lot of effort to get it back onto the track. http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag57/mickgould1/Baldwins%20crane/image1%20Copy...

Loaded mixer in trouble (Berwick, Sussex)
This was a very awkward job. The mixer drum was full, the wheels on the upper side of the mixer were not touching the ground and it was resting precariously against a hedgerow. All 3 axles were dug fairly heavily into the tarmac. The road was quite narrow. Ideally, the job would have been done with ...
