I used to work for Ontime Recovery as a controller for some years, and one of drivers gave me a disc of pics he had. Here’s a few.
Always wondered why some recovery firms spend hundreds of thousands on high horsepower wreckers and others would employ a 4x2 artic stretched with average power engine. Are people trying to do it on the cheap or the super heros going ott?
An Old one I know, without all the new fangled underlifts and fancy equipment. Just a lifting beam, “A” frame and loads of chains and sleepers. Single drive but never got it stuck and was never beaten by a recovery
Looking back, probably my best memories are from working the wrecker up and down the country, but mostly around the North west… “Happy Days”
hi,give me forty acres and i will turn this rig around 
hi, another view.

crap pic i know, but one in action working
not my pic this one
this was abandoned somewhere up north (at least it looked abandoned!)

now this is what i call a proper wrecker 
i’d love to drive one of those for a living, would turn a few heads towing a puddle jumper behind it

i know youre joking but for others info no their enclosed car transporters carl richardson (carlson) bought them in 2004 he had 2 of them one got sold to a company and it still runs about in carlson colours just with the name changed and this one has obviossly ended up here that will explain why i havnt seen it in ages.
