HGV Recovery on the M66

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 M66 runs 8 miles from Simister (M60) to Rawtenstall (A56) through Greater Manchester, Lancashire, with 5 junctions and service stations at . Busy during commuter hours with traffic heading into Manchester from Bury and Rossendale; Simister Island interchange is a known bottleneck. Wherever your lorry stops along that route, our nearest HGV recovery driver is dispatched from Bury to reach you fast.

HGV Recovery at the M66's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M66 where we are called out most often, and where we keep HGV recovery resources close at hand:

Junction 1 Simister Island (M60/M62/M66 interchange), one of Manchester's most complex and congested junctions; the multiple motorway-to-motorway movements cause confusion, hesitation, and lane-change collisions; vehicles queuing at Simister from all directions overheat and suffer battery drain
Junctions 2-3 (Bury area), heavy commuter traffic between Bury and Manchester creates morning and evening peaks; the constrained valley corridor limits road capacity; stop-start conditions cause clutch wear and overheating
Northern terminus at Rawtenstall (A56 connection), the elevated section near the motorway's end is exposed to Pennine weather; ice forms here before lower sections; the transition to the A56 dual carriageway involves a speed change that catches drivers off guard

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.”
