Episodes
Mega Rollovers
In the Pennines, Alpha Recovery have sent a large crew to a very challenging and energy sapping recovery, a fuel tanker that has rolled down a steep, muddy hillside and landed on its side. If that wasn't enough of a challenge, the ground is soft and the closest the wreckers can get is 100ft away at the top of the hill. To get the tanker back on to the road, Incident Manager Simon uses all his experience and a huge digger to flip it back onto its wheels, but the challenges don't stop there.
There is an early morning call out for Steve when emergency services respond to a major incident near Loughborough. After heavy rains, a cement truck careered off the road before smashing through a fence and ending up on its side in a farmer's field. Steve must work out how to get the thirty-two-ton lorry back up on its wheels and out of the field. Just to complicate an already tricky recovery, the lorry has spilled its load – a hazardous concoction of cement, sand, and water. There is a very real risk of sustaining chemical burns and it is down to Steve to ensure the safety of the entire team.
Lantern recovery op Stuart is called out to assist on the rescue of a rollover. On arrival he finds an artic carrying at least 1,500 boxes of A4 paper has tipped over on a busy roundabout.
