A 7.5 ton stuck in a country lane on a steep hill
complete with 2 cars in the way

130meters from the top of the hill and not enough traction to drive 5X back up
2 winch extensions needed to effect recovery

after that onto a supermarket artic stuck backing out of the store loading access road

Image

Image

Main M20 motorway closed so all traffic sent down the un treated A20 and all trucks stuck on the first hill

Image

Image

Image

Image

And of course trying to turn the artic around in a dead end housing area following a sat nav/GPS

Then another supermarket Jack knife down hill in the snow.
joint effort as Blacktross didnt have enough traction to pull up the hill.
had to unfold and turn around to get back to main highway
