Complete Guide to Vehicle Recovery Equipment

Vehicle recovery equipment ranges from simple flatbed carriers to sophisticated heavy-duty recovery units capable of uprighting overturned trucks and extracting vehicles from difficult terrain.

Light-duty recovery vehicles typically feature an integrated underlift and a single boom, suitable for recovering passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Medium-duty units add winch capacity and deck length for larger vehicles.

Heavy-duty recovery vehicles feature twin-boom systems with capacities exceeding 40 tonnes, powerful winches for extraction, and specialized equipment for handling articulated vehicles and construction equipment. The choice depends on your typical recovery scenarios and the vehicle types you serve.
