Equipment We Carry

Our recovery trucks carry heavy-duty winch cables rated to 5 tonnes, a full set of securing straps and wheel chocks, towing brackets for all common vehicles, and emergency lighting for safe roadside operations. Every truck is equipped with a first aid kit and fire extinguisher.

Pricing — No Hidden Fees

Recovery costs depend on vehicle size, distance, time of day, and the complexity of the recovery. A straightforward roadside pickup costs less than a ditch recovery requiring winching. We always quote upfront — the price we give is the price you pay.
