HGV Recovery on the M23

Heavy vehicle incidents need heavy kit, rotators, heavy underlift units, and full traffic management. Our HGV teams recover rigids, artics and drawbar combinations up to 44 tonnes, handle cargo transfer where a load cannot be moved intact, and coordinate with National Highways to clear the carriageway safely.

The M23 runs 15 miles from Hooley (M25) to Crawley / Gatwick Airport through Surrey, West Sussex, with 11 junctions and service stations at Pease Pottage. Peak congestion at the M25 interchange (J7) and around Gatwick Airport (J9A), especially during school holidays and early morning flight departures. Wherever your lorry stops along that route, our nearest HGV recovery driver is dispatched from Crawley to reach you fast.

Why lorrys need HGV recovery on the M23

From our call-out data on the M23, the issues that most often leave drivers needing recovery on this route are:

  • Congestion-related breakdowns near Gatwick Airport especially during peak travel seasons
  • Overheating in slow traffic on the approach to the M25
  • Tyre failures from debris left by airport-bound vehicles with luggage

HGV Recovery at the M23's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M23 where we are called out most often, and where we keep HGV recovery resources close at hand:

Junction 7 (M25 interchange at Hooley), the merge with M25 traffic is congested for most of the day; vehicles that have been crawling on the M25 overheat as they try to accelerate onto the M23, and the steep descent through the North Downs cutting compounds brake stress
Junction 9A (Gatwick Airport), erratic driving from stressed passengers running late for flights causes minor collisions; vehicles laden with luggage have higher tyre failure rates; early-morning traffic surges at 3-5am catch out fatigued drivers
Merstham cutting between Junctions 7 and 8, the deep chalk cutting through the North Downs creates localised ice in winter and standing water after rain; the gradient change from descent to flat catches drivers off guard

Customer Reviews

What Our Customers Say

Broke down at 11pm on the M25 near the Wisley interchange. Called these guys and they had a recovery truck with me in under 40 minutes. Professional, friendly, and the price was exactly what they quoted on the phone. Genuinely saved my night.

Vehicle Towing

Ran out of diesel like an idiot between Luton and Milton Keynes on the M1. Pulled onto the hard shoulder near Junction 10 and called them. They delivered 10 litres of diesel within the hour and even checked my tyre pressures while they were there. No judgement, just helpful.

My van broke down fully loaded heading north on the M6 past Stoke. Other companies quoted ridiculous prices or said they could not do it until morning. These guys came out at 2am with a flatbed and sorted everything. Will not use anyone else.
