HGV Recovery on the M65

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 M65 runs 26 miles from Bamber Bridge (M6/M61) to Colne through Lancashire, with 14 junctions and service stations at . Moderate traffic with commuter peaks near Blackburn and Burnley; the western end near the M6 junction sees the heaviest volumes. Wherever your lorry stops along that route, our nearest HGV recovery driver is dispatched from Blackburn to reach you fast.

Why lorrys need HGV recovery on the M65

From our call-out data on the M65, the issues that most often leave drivers needing recovery on this route are:

Winter ice and snow on the higher sections near Darwen and Burnley
Fog in the valleys between Blackburn and Accrington
Road surface deterioration causing tyre damage on less-maintained sections

HGV Recovery at the M65's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M65 where we are called out most often, and where we keep HGV recovery resources close at hand:

Junctions 3-4 (Darwen valley section), the hilly terrain with gradients as steep as 1 in 25 strains engines on the climbs and overheats brakes on descents; winter weather at the 800-foot elevation is significantly worse than at the M6 end

Junction 1 (M6/M61 Bamber Bridge interchange), the western gateway where M65 traffic merges with M6 and M61 flows; morning and evening commuter peaks from East Lancashire create congestion that extends back onto the M65

Junction 14 (Colne terminus), the abrupt end of the motorway deposits traffic onto an A-road; the sudden speed reduction and transition to single carriageway causes rear-end collisions; drivers heading for Yorkshire face unexpected A-road conditions
