Beyond recovery, our specialists provide roadside and workshop support, covering commercial vehicle breakdowns, tyre changes, trailer repairs and more.
Our vehicle recovery company can provide transport, movement and recovery 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to the following types of heavy vehicles:
We use the following heavy-duty machinery, specialised trucks and advanced techniques for heavy vehicle recovery as detailed below.
These trucks are designed to tow large commercial vehicles like lorries, buses and coaches. Instead of putting a broken-down lorry on a trailer, these trucks use an under lift that slides under the casualty vehicle's front axle, lifts it off the ground, and tows it away.
This is a specialised trailer with a deck that sits very low to the ground, which we use as part of our HGV recovery service for vehicles such as industrial plant machinery, buses or severely damaged HGVs. The low bed provides a gentle loading angle and ensures the load height stays under legal bridge limits.
This vehicle features a crane that can rotate 360 degrees, park alongside a crash site, and lift an overturned lorry off the ground from the side. The team at our vehicle recovery company use rotators as they are essential for uprighting jobs, clearing motorway accidents and lifting heavy cargo out of ditches without blocking all lanes of traffic.
This is a flatbed truck with a hydraulic crane built directly behind the cab. This allows a single operator to perform heavy vehicle recovery by lifting heavy objects directly onto the truck’s bed without the need for a separate crane on site.
Winching is the process of using a high-powered motorised drum and heavy-duty steel or synthetic cable to pull a vehicle, which we utilise for on- and off-road recovery. It is typically used to pull vehicles that are stuck in mud, trapped in ditches or wedged down embankments onto solid ground so they can be towed.
Used for overturned commercial vehicles with fragile or heavy cargo, it employs deflated rubber bags slid under the vehicle. Technicians inflate them to lift the vehicle, preventing the trailer from snapping during heavy vehicle recovery.
As a professional vehicle recovery company, J and A Recovery & Rescue Ltd possesses the specialist fleet and technical expertise required to handle the most demanding incidents. We can recover vehicles nationally with a focus on the southeast, including locations such as Portsmouth, Reading, Heathrow, Chichester, Watford, Southampton, Croydon, Gatwick, Basingstoke, Leatherhead, Wembley and Guildford. From standard roadside towing to complex HGV recovery and heavy winching and recovery operations, we ensure your assets are secured and transported safely.
