HGV Recovery on the M55

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 M55 runs 12 miles from Broughton (M6) to Blackpool through Lancashire, with 4 junctions and service stations at . Highly seasonal traffic with extreme peaks during Blackpool Illuminations (September to November) and summer bank holidays. Wherever your lorry stops along that route, our nearest HGV recovery driver is dispatched from Preston to reach you fast.

Why lorrys need HGV recovery on the M55

From our call-out data on the M55, the issues that most often leave drivers needing recovery on this route are:

  • Severe congestion during Blackpool Illuminations season causing overheating
  • Crosswind incidents on the flat, exposed Fylde plain
  • Holiday traffic surges causing fuel issues for unprepared drivers

HGV Recovery at the M55's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M55 where we are called out most often, and where we keep HGV recovery resources close at hand:

Junction 4 (Blackpool terminus at Marton), the transition from motorway to the A583 urban road creates massive queues during Illuminations season and summer weekends; vehicles idle for up to an hour, causing overheating and battery drain; the junction simply cannot handle peak demand
Junction 1 (M6 interchange at Broughton), holiday traffic surging from the M6 onto the M55 creates eastbound congestion when returning; the merge is particularly problematic on Sunday evenings and bank holiday returns when tired drivers react slowly
Central section (Fylde plain exposure), the flat, treeless landscape offers zero wind protection; crosswinds from the Irish Sea buffet caravans and motorhomes; autumn and winter storms create dangerous conditions on the exposed carriageway

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.”

“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.”
