Plant & Machinery Recovery
On Every UK Motorway

Plant and machinery recovery is a specialist discipline that requires heavy-duty equipment, skilled operators, and careful planning. Unlike road vehicles, plant and machinery come in a vast range of shapes, sizes, and weights, from compact mini diggers to 30-tonne excavators and beyond. Each recovery job is unique and requires a tailored approach based on the specific machine, its location, and the access available.

Our plant recovery fleet includes low-loader trailers in various configurations from 10-tonne capacity to 40-tonne capacity, suitable for everything from skid-steer loaders to large tracked excavators. We also operate HIAB crane vehicles for lifting smaller items of plant, and we have access to mobile cranes for particularly heavy or awkwardly positioned machines. All our operators hold the relevant CPCS and NPORS cards for the equipment they use, and they are experienced in working on construction sites where additional health and safety considerations apply.

Common plant recovery scenarios include machines that have broken down on site, tracked vehicles that have thrown a track, plant that has become stuck in soft ground, and equipment that needs relocating between sites. We also handle road traffic incidents involving plant being transported on trailers, and we can recover both the carrying vehicle and the plant itself. Our service is available 24 hours a day, which is essential for construction projects operating night shifts or facing tight deadlines. We provide a full quotation before starting any work, taking into account the machine type, weight, location, access constraints, and the destination for delivery.
