N.O.S. Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Steer well clear of a company called Triple B Recovery (Beckett's Breakdown Boys) :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRDM Driver Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 The AA say that they won't recover anything heavier than 3.5tonnes. BRDM is 7tonnes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 For commercial weight stuff, if you need a one-off recovery it is generally pretty costly. The trouble is it has to be a fast response so a friendly plant mover may not be able to just drop a job he's on and get there quick. And if you are obstructing a highway, unless you can convince the Police you have someone on the way, they may call a commercial recovery firm on your behalf and you have to pay! Several companies (saw one on ebay yesterday, and there is the Roadsure scheme) offer a commercial weight recovery insurance service for £70 and up as a 12 month insurance policy. For one vehicle I'd be tempted to play safe and take out a policy. But it would be good to know of recovery operators in various regions who are sympathetic to our hobby and who charge accordingly.
