Vehicle towing and recovery services

If your vehicle has decided to suddenly stop working or if you have been involved in a car accident, you will most likely have to enlist the help of a recovery service to come and collect your car. The cranes can be used to tow all types of cars, trailers, machinery, motorcycles and caravans. This article looks at some of the more popular types of recovery services that are available, along with information on how you can find a roadside recovery specialist in your area.

Car recovery

One of the most popular services is road vehicle recovery. Specialists will be able to recover all types of cars, including vintage cars, sports cars and even racing cars. They will also be able to recover motorcycles. Large tow trucks often come pre-installed with a tipping tray and tail lift, allowing you to safely pick up trailers and even small boats or caravans that have been placed in the back of the car. Some tow trucks will be able to tow two cars at the same time if necessary.

Machinery recovery

Many types of machinery can be towed using the crane. This can include bobcats, tractors, forklifts, and scissor lifts. The crane will be able to go directly to your workplace to retrieve the machinery.

Locks

Recovery services will be able to handle car locks. A lock is when you accidentally lock your keys inside your car or lose your only set of car keys. Sometimes the recovery team will be able to make a new key for your car on the roadside. In some cases, such as when a new immobilizer system is required, it will be necessary to tow the vehicle to a garage where it can be repaired at a later date.

Jumpstarts

Everyone gets a dead battery from time to time, and the most common reason for this is accidentally leaving the lights on. A recovery team can quickly come to your rescue and start your car for you. If for some reason the car won’t start or needs additional work, they will be able to tow it safely to the garage for you.

Field work and 4×4 recovery

A specialized recovery team will also be able to access hard-to-reach areas to pick up your car. This can include on rough terrain, such as off-road, in the bush, or even on the beach.

Where to find a recovery service

You can find a recovery service in your area by searching for it online. All major companies will have a website that lists the services they offer, along with their contact details. Even if you don’t need their services right now, it’s worth keeping a phone number on your phone in case you need to reach them in an emergency.
