Local Knowledge — Working in Egloskerry

Road ConditionsNarrow hedgerow-lined lanes are typical here, which means recovery often requires specialist low-loader equipment.

WeatherCornwall's mild but wet climate means road surfaces here are frequently damp — increasing the risk of skidding, especially on bends.

Seasonal TipSpring: Potholes worsen after winter freeze-thaw cycles. Watch your tyre pressures and keep an eye out for road damage.

AccessSteep harbour-side roads require winch-assisted loading. Our trucks are fully equipped for this.

Driving Tips for Egloskerry

Planning to drive through Egloskerry? Check your tyre pressures before you go — the Egloskerry Road surface can be unforgiving on under-inflated tyres. Near Sunken lanes, be aware of pedestrians, cyclists, and farm vehicles. And if you're towing, give yourself extra braking distance on Egloskerry's hills.

Real-World Scenario

Car with a seized caliper that can't be towed conventionally? When a brake caliper seizes, the wheel won't turn freely — making conventional towing impossible. Our flatbed lifts the entire vehicle, wheels and all, so a seized caliper is no obstacle.

What NOT to Do

Never try to recover a vehicle from a ditch using another car — the pulling forces involved can damage both vehicles and the tow rope can snap with lethal force.
