About the Recovery 10 Ton
This is the heaviest recovery vehicle we run and it exists for the jobs the others cannot take: light trucks, buses, heavy plant and machinery. Carrying capacity is 10 tonnes on a 20 tonne gross vehicle. One thing worth being clear about, because it saves a wasted call. The 5 tonne and 10 tonne trucks share the same 6.5 metre tilt and slide bed and the same 10 tonne winch. The difference between them is entirely what the vehicle is rated to carry and its gross weight. So if your casualty is long but light, the 5 tonne will do it just as well; if it is heavy, you need this one. Length is not the reason to step up. Weight is. Because the bed is the same 6.5 metres, a very long casualty will overhang either truck, and that needs discussing before dispatch rather than on arrival. As always the four useful facts are what the vehicle or machine is, roughly what it weighs, whether the wheels or tracks turn freely, and exactly where it is sitting. On a heavy recovery those answers determine the whole approach.
What it is good for
- Light trucks, buses and commercial vehicles beyond 5 tonnes
- Heavy plant and machinery within 10 tonnes and a 6.5 m bed
- Breakdown recovery for a commercial fleet
- Moving heavy equipment between sites where a low loader is not warranted
- Difficult recoveries where the casualty is heavy and will not roll
What it is not for
- Anything above 10 tonnes, or longer than the 6.5 m bed
- Jobs where a lighter truck would do. At 20 tonnes gross this vehicle needs more room and firmer ground
- Positions it cannot safely reach, stand at and load from
What the site needs
A safe, legal position for a 20 tonne vehicle to stand, with several metres clear behind for the bed to tilt and slide. Firm ground for the truck and for the winch to pull against. Loaded, this is a heavy vehicle and soft ground becomes a second recovery. On a highway, plan the position and any lane closure in advance.
Common questions about the Recovery 10 Ton
What is the difference between the 5 tonne and the 10 tonne?+
Carrying capacity and gross weight, and nothing else that matters. Both have a 6.5 metre tilt and slide bed and both have a 10 tonne winch. The 5 tonne carries 5 on a 10 tonne vehicle; this one carries 10 on a 20 tonne vehicle. Choose on the weight of the casualty, not its length.
Will it take a bus or a light truck?+
If it is within 10 tonnes and fits the 6.5 metre bed, yes. Buses and long-bodied trucks often exceed the bed length even when they are within the weight, so send us the dimensions as well as the weight, or a photograph, and we will say whether it will sit safely.
Can it recover heavy plant?+
Within 10 tonnes, yes. Tracked machines need care loading onto a tilt bed and have to be secured properly for transport. Tell us the make and model rather than just the type, because operating weights vary widely between machines that look similar.
Do I need the 10 tonne just because my vehicle is long?+
No, and this is worth knowing before you book. Both trucks have the same 6.5 metre bed, so stepping up does not buy you length. If your casualty is long but under 5 tonnes, the smaller truck does the same job and is easier to position.
