What can we expect from this episode
In order to tackle a tipping lorry, Alpha Recovery’s Operations Manager Gary assembles a crack team. A 46-ton artic has gone off the side of a busy A-road and can’t get out without assistance. Two lanes of the highway are closed, but the third is still accessible, and cars are zipping by. Gary and his team must use two wreckers and four winch lines to carefully pull the lorry free. However, there is a risk of this long lorry rolling into the live lane due to the restricted space.
Another truck has gotten lost in Hertfordshire. The driver was forced to reverse because of the narrow roads, but the wheels became stuck in the slick mud. The big truck is stuck inside the narrow opening. Lantern Rescue Mission Stuart has to hurry to help. However, navigating the narrow country roads with his 32-ton wrecker presents a significant challenge. Upon arriving on the scene, Stu realises immediately that this rescue will be difficult.
And on the M11, our hero from Heavy Recovery, Merrie, must avoid the highway traffic at all costs while towing a disabled truck. The 32-ton truck has pulled over to the side of the road. No forward progress is possible due to the applied brakes. It’s already a challenge to move, and a crane attachment only adds to the burden.
Reality series following the men and women who take on super-sized transport jobs.
