Scania Boniface Rotator Truck - Heavy Recovery of Semi Trailer - Sweden

An early morning and a Scania semitrailer have gone off the road and in to the forest. Luckily the driver was unharmed. Assistancekåren Borlänge arrives at the scene of accident with their Scania Boniface rotator truck together with a Volvo heavy recovery truck.

[@MrMikey1224]

I just love the sound of the Scania idling. The sound of power..

[@bolebole1147]

Yea true power!!

That DHL truck may have been the coolest truck I've ever seen. Wow!!

[@jonathanlake3366]

Agreed

[@BennyComedian2002]

I also agree with you because that DHL truck was the coolest truck I also have ever seen!

After seeing so many botched recoveries, it is refreshing to see how it is done properly and safely. Well done guys.

Good that they brought the Assistance Karen, in case they needed to speak to the manager.

[@timteevin4517]

I'm impressed by the lift capacity on the boom. All the while using 2 or 3 other winches for pulling. And the engine hardly revs above idle. Very well designed wreckers. 👍

[@Getbent97]

Wow, the way european trucks/trailers are laid out look so different to here in Aus. I can honestly say I've never seen a truck like that DHL one here in Aus.

[@jontisdall6248]

@Getbent97, you've got 'Roo Bars' on your trucks, we've got Elk/Moose Bars. LOL.

[@frankeinfish]

It looks a little weird without its trailer that's why. Just imagine a trailer behind it and it'll look much more normal.

[@lukethecrazyhillbilly6901]

I LOVE Your videos

[@contactrkb]

Great to see that traffic was allowed to pass while they were at work and only stopped when essential. In the UK that road would have been closed........for two days! The first day would just be the risk assessment. Okay, I'm exaggerating a bit but continental drivers on the whole seem much more sensible and can be trusted to drive past a scene such as this.

[@methaneman4045]

Day 1 would also include all the police measuring etc to see if they could prosecute anyone

[@fonziebulldog5786]

The exact same accident happened by the Swedish town Hässleholm some years ago. I stopped with my motorcycle and walked towards the stranded truck and avsked if he had calling for help. He looked tired and i guess he had falling asleep while driving and ended up in the wood when he replied that another trucker friends was coming in a few hours. I replied with, you need more than a trailer friend to get that out of the wood.

[@51WCDodge]

The right kit, and the right men to use it.

HEY GUYS, NO NEED FOR ALL THESE ROTATOR DRAMA, As an expert here commented, "IT COMES BACK AS IT WENT IN". CHANGE the damaged FRONT WHEEL (could be the cause of accident) The VOLVO FM recovery is fine to do the job with a set of handy men of trucks and trailers, working on woods for an hour and another hour for pulling her on to the tarmac with minimum damage. This recovery company made their day and drama ... God bless them ... Okay, they too are our pals ...

[@regsparkes6507]

Well in my humble opinion, I have to agree with 'The Grumpy Southerner' to some extent. Then again, I have no experience whatsoever in this type of 'rescue ' work,.but I'll bow to the experts as shown here by ADVideofilm. One thing is certain, it sure is a good video and a pleasure to watch. I really like those softly purring diesels at work.

[@ADVideofilm]

Thanks! :)

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

This is just Scania ad. Canadian guys are best on TV.

[@nicktecky55]

On another incident in this series, there was a convoy vehicle taking through traffic slowly past the scene, why not this time? As the damaged truck was towed away, where were the hazard warnings on the back? An accompanying vehicle perhaps? To warn traffic about the length of the combined vehicle. Are Swedish roads incredibly highly specified, or am I missing something? There were just two spiked 'feet' taking the weight of the boom arm truck as well as the weight of the trailer close to the edge of the carriageway, and yet the road surface showed no sign of damage... that's some serious tarmac!

[@Wiikendzgoodmix]

Depends on the amount of traffic. Max length in Sweden is 25.25m, so everyone is pretty much used to long vehicles on the road. 90% of our roads are classed as BK1, which means you can drive a vehicle at a gross weight of up to 64 tons on those roads.

[@gegwen7440]

My thoughts as well, why are they not pulling straight back out the way it went in. Had that trailer been move heavily loaded it would have rolled once they started to pull the unit out from under it. Drove off with no light board showing to the rear of the wreck either ? Nice kit though that's for sure.

[@rickstaunton9099]

Also didn’t see any break-away chains in use. Not required in Sweden?

[@Bobrogers99]

The road was closed to traffic for only 20 minutes? Here in the US, we are so concerned about liability that the road would have been closed for the entire recovery process and for hours afterwards while the accident was "investigated". I guess that in Sweden the insurance companies are not running the show.

[@Cooleb09]

Umm, look at plaza towing's channel, the US guys do this type of work without road closures where avoidable aswell.

[@noahater5785]

@@Cooleb09 Yeah, that’s the beauty of having a rotator, being able to work while keeping the roads open to some extent because these trucks were designed to occupy only a single lane of traffic.

[@nphil93992]

Looks to me that whether you are in the american mid west or northern Europe, a rotator is a very handy piece of kit to have. Looks like another professional recovery 👍👍 One thing i would like to see is more of the set up of the chains etc, i think it would add a lot to the video's.

[@toomasmetsniit9649]

Hei 🙋‍♂️ 🇪🇪 👍 Good work ✌️ 😊

[@r-prizzle2168]

That DHL truck?!? I think they deliver packages differently in Europe! Looks like it's Dakar ready.

[@TheStefanskoglund1]

The truck is probably driven by the driver - either way the extra bars in the front means getting a rebate on the insurance due to less costly damages if you catch an elk (or a boar for that matter...)

[@MrDriftspirit]

those idiots who pass to fast the recovery place lead to fully closed road for recovery. if anyone slows down like the dhl truck, the crew can work and the drivers get to their aim with only time lost of few seconds. with a closed road it can take up to an hour longer. please slow down at working places

[@volvolica]

That transport company (AlGuns) is pushing the drivers to much! I wonder how many tacho-cards was found in the cab.

[@mickeytaker4255]

Ah, it's fine. A little polish and good to go!

[@TheByard]

To slow traffic down at incident scene's lay partly filled water filled fireman's hoses across the road at each end of site. Sign post the humps (sleeping policemen) The water will be moved side ways along the hoses if crossed slowly The hoses must be longer than the road crossing and capped at each end to prevent water loss. I have used this method to slow traffic entering a works yard, with the hose end connected to a 45 gallon tank half filled with water. A vehicle crossing the hose has to displace this water from the hose to cross. No drilling or cutting is required with the road surface. It worked great but needed anti freeze added for the colder month's.

Why cab-over ? Less crash protection rougher ride. Bouncing right over axle.

That truck is somewhat prettier than most DHL trucks in Sweden... Could be trophies from truck shows.

[@bm797]

It's an after market table put in on the dash, drivers usually have scented air fresheners called "poppy" on them. Table is also good for putting your phone or shipping papers on.

[@Neilwalling-o7v]

why didnt they just winch it backwards. very easy recovery. only needs one truck

[@MeBallerman]

Why do they let the mirror hang and dangle there when pulling away? That would've got them a SEVERE fine, were it taking place in Danmark. The drag wind/speed wind could easily cause it to blow sideways - right into the front window of an oncoming bus or truck. Watch from 9:14 on. Bad decision.

[@johnbailey2076]

Recoveries do not come more costly then this one.

[@ronv6637]

fuel/oil/antifreeze spill would have doubled the cost

2:07 I have a question about lifting underneath a truck that’s stuck using the crane... do the straps cut in to the Alguns’ box frame? It seems like the bottom corners are under a lot of pressure. Do they ever collapse?

[@catbird1759]

Pulling it out the direction that it went in the woods is least resistance. Which is mostly ROLLING resistance. Trying to pull the tractor to the side is increasing the weight of the tractor by at least 1 1/2 times plus. I see these type recoveries all the time with inexperienced operators and killing valuable time. I was a recovery specialist in the military with track and wheeled recovery equipment. Upside down, on its side, and even buried to the top.

[@acajutla]

Killing time is the main part of military service.

[@DarkVoidIII]

I sincerely hope they just edited out the part where somebody pulled the driveshaft and didn't actually tow that truck with the driveshaft still connected to the engine. If not, the towing recovery operator should be getting a bill for engine repairs because of damage they caused!

[@petter5721]
